Next, a Porters Five Forces analysis of the industry is performed, illustrating the very high levels of competitive rivalry in the industry and the increasing threat of the low-cost carriers (EasyJet, bmi baby etc…) on the flag carriers (British Airways, Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, Olympic Airlines).

This highlights the importance that strategic alliances, size and technological innovation have upon the profitability of the two main European airlines, British Airways and the newly formed Air France-KLM group, but also to Lufthansa, as Europes third largest airline.
