Roland Berger http://www.rolandberger.com/index.html , la società di consulenza strategica con sede a monaco di baviera, e che ora sta seguendo l'integrazione meridiana-Eurofly per valutarne i vantaggi, è la stessa società che tre anni fa ha studiato il progetto di riassetto del trasporto aereo nazionale italiano, con i risultati che tutti abbiamo sotto gli occhi http://www.assaereo.it/pubblica/news...20di%20sparire , o meglio con i non risultati. Non solo, la stessa roland berger è la società che è stata incaricata dalla società di gestione degli scali milanesi del riassetto del traffico aereo tra LInate-Malpensa. In realtà ogni volta che una società italiana nel comparto del trasporto aereo e aeroportuale chiede la consulenza "strategica" della società tedesca Roland Berger, è come se prima di una partita Italia-germania l'allenatore italiano chiedesse all'allenatore tedesco di fargli la formazione.
Infatti Roland Berger è la società che pianifica la strategia di Lufthansa, dunque fa solo e unicamente gli interessi di lufthansa, soprattutto quando si occupa di fornire assistenza strategica a società italiane nel trasporto aereo. Sotto vengono riportati alcuni notizie e studi di indirizzo strategico predisposti da roland berger per lufthansa che evidenziano come questa società abbia pianificato per lufthansa una politica aggressiva in europa per quanto riguarda il traffico aereo verso l'asia, in modo da stoppare le compagnie asiatiche dall'ingresso massiccio in europa, in particolare in Italia, e soprattutto studi per quanto riguarda il vantaggio competitivo che si avrà sull'asia dall'usare l'a380 e lufthansa ne ha ordinati ben 15 che piazzerà a francoforte, che a regime potranno diventare 20, con altri 10 che piazzerà nel costruendo hub di berlino. La strategia naturalmente che la stessa lufthansa sta utilizzando in italia, attraverso la pianificazione "strategica" di roland berger per esempio per la ripartizione del traffico aereo linate-malpensa, sta tutta qui, ottimizzare e massimizzare i transiti negli hub tedeschi e in particolare quelli incentrati in futuro sull'a380 di lufthansa a francoforte e berlino, e impedire l'arrivo massiccio di molte compagnie asiatiche in Italia, con l'a380 appunto, cosa che sta spingendo lufthansa a acquisire alitalia e air one, appunto non per sviluppare il traffico aereo italiano soprattutto verso l'asia, ma per impedire lo sviluppo del traffico aereo in italia, direzionando i flussi di traffico a suo piacimento, ossia verso gli hub tedeschi per rimpire gli a380. L'obiettivo di lufthansa sull'Italia potrebbe anche essere quello di piazzare suoi aerei sull'intrecontinentale in Italia, ma di piccole dimensioni, per es. a330, rispetto agli a380 a francoforte e berlino, piccoli aerei che comunque scoraggerebbero compagnie asiatiche dal mettere a380 sugli scali italiani, e quindi dando un vantaggio competitivo a lufthansa che potrebbe continuare a drenare traffico, soprattutto verso l'asia, dall'Italia agli hub tedeschi grazie agli a380 e i loro costi operativi minori per passeggero rispetto per es. agli a330. Inoltre si conferma come lufthansa, hub francoforte, futuro hub di berlino e hub di monaco siano un'unica entità, formino una forte alleanza sotto la direzione dell'allenatore roland berger, volta a dirigere gran parte dei flussi di traffico aereo verso la germania, e lo stesso interesse di lufthansa per alitalia e air one, come di air france, rientra in questa strategia: riempire gli a380 nei loro hub...

http://www.rolandberger.com/news/rbs..._aviation.htmlLufthansa prepares to make up for lost ground
The business bulletin reports on the state of affairs in the air-traffic industry after the official all-clear on SARS and the lifting of travel warnings issued by the WHO and the Foreign Office. Lufthansa is especially relieved. The airline is heavily involved in Asia with a 25% share of earnings there. Philipp Goedeking, Partner at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, thinks this is the right strategy: "China will be the fastest growing economy in the world in the next ten years. Lufthansa has to be there."http://www.rolandberger.com/news/rbs...0_rollout.htmlCompetition in aviation is getting fiercer. Thus major hubs in Europe have joined forces, helped by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants.
It is not just airlines which are affected, but increasingly major hub airports as well. Frankfurt and Munich are competing head to head with London, Paris and Amsterdam. In intercontinental traffic, they are even competing against airports such as Dubai.
Against this backdrop, the key players in German aviation – Lufthansa, Fraport, Munich airport and German air traffic control – have joined forces to strengthen Germany as an aviation location and create better competitive conditions. This is being done firstly by improving processes, such as those on the apron.
Secondly, the aviation companies are articulating their joint interests to political decision-makers. The subjects here range from the cornerstones of deregulation in air traffic control to suggestions for speeding up approval processes and formulating a federal government airport policy.
Master plan for developing the airport infrastructure
Since mid-2003 a Roland Berger team led by Philipp Goedeking has been in charge of project management for the aviation for Germany initiative [Initiative Luftverkehr für Deutschland]. A key milestone is the master plan for developing the airport infrastructure, presented late last year at the German Aviation Congress in Berlin. The initiative meanwhile is experiencing a positive media response to its project work. Even an international news magazine reported in detail on the project results – a true success given the national alignment of the project.
"In this project the business system partners are initially all in the same boat. The next step is to share ideas with political leaders who have developed a genuine understanding through detailed information," reports Project Manager Tanja Wielgoß. She sees a paradigm shift as the goal of the master plan: "Away from the principle of funding everything indiscriminately and instead concentrating on expanding key airports."
International level
The eight most important German airports should be promoted first and foremost: Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Cologne-Bonn and Stuttgart. "Deregulation in the aviation sector has increased competition over the last few years. The German hubs of Frankfurt and Munich are now competing at an international level with London, Paris and Amsterdam for transfer passengers," reports Tanja Wielgoß. If Germany is to remain a competitive business location, the German hubs will need to expand their capacity.3 liters of kerosene per passenger per 100 km. With its comparatively low running costs, the Airbus A380 could radically change the aviation market.
When an aircraft is rolled from hangar to tarmac, it is normally of no interest to anyone. Today in Toulouse, things are different: French President Jacques Chirac, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his spanish opposite number José Luis Zapatero attended the ceremony.
The aircraft, presented full-size for the first time, deserves such attention. The Airbus A380, the "flying ocean liner", offers a range of superlatives: a charter version is set to offer space for up to 853 passengers, the freight version can transport cargo of up to 150 tons, according to Airbus. Plus, the fuel consumption per passenger shall be significantly lower than in any other long haul aircraft.
"Airbus has made a quantum leap," says Stephane Albernhe, Partner at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants in Paris. "They redeveloped the plane from scratch, solving highly complex problem. In doing so, they have developed major technology and process competencies."
Symbolic event
For example, to reduce the plane's weight, new composite materials were used instead of metal components. In Albernhe's opinion, the rollout of the first A380 is therefore symbolic: " Airbus has demonstrated its claim to leadership. In contrast to their competitors, they have recognized growth opportunities and made the most of them."
The figures confirm this. Airbus says it has gained 57 percent of the world market for civilian aircraft. Airlines and logistics companies have shown considerable interest in the A380, ordering 149 planes by now.
For Philipp Goedeking, Partner and aviation expert at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, the launch of the new large-scale aircraft will shift the balance among competing airlines. "The A380 will reduce unit costs per seat by around 20 percent. Companies that can realize this kind of cost advantage are of course a step ahead of airlines that serve the same routes with smaller aircrafts."
"Like a vacuum cleaner"
According to Goedeking, the fact that two major European carriers, Air France-KLM and Lufthansa, are among the first buyers of the giant plane, is a signal. "It works like a vacuum cleaner. Using large-scale aircrafts will strengthen the big hubs in Europe like London, Paris and Frankfurt enormously and at the same time weaken transfer traffic to smaller airports in Europe."
But before the giant Airbus can shake up competition between airlines, it must first pass a series of tough tests. After being put on show in Toulouse, the A380 will be rolled back into its hangar where in the next few weeks the plane will be bent and loaded to breaking point. If all goes well, the next big day will be in late March, when the A380 will make its maiden flight.
