INTEGRATED REPORT 2019
Business environment
Our business environment is impacted by several key factors which will be explored in more detail throughout this report. The aviation sector and increasing demand for air travel, which is driven by global GDP growth, air service agreements and air fare prices, have an effect on our business. Economic regulation affects our ability to plan for the future, achieve our strategic objectives and create value for stakeholders. Our economic environment and economic trends impact on our ability to provide certain aeronautical transport services and to contribute positively to the South African economy. The social environment in which we operate demands that we align our value creation model with inclusive growth within South Africa. Finally, technology also shapes our ability to adopt innovative solutions for the purpose of constantly improving our safety, security, operational efficiency and customer service.
