Part2：

In such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and (S1) tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers (S2) identify controllable costs.

In order to establish and (S3) maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, (S4) fuel, airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and (S5) networks, airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training, (S6) insurance, and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of (S7) external providers or internal cost centers.

Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. (S8) Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes surcharges they have little or no control over, and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out government regulations. (S9) If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country

Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other players in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the

airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales. (S10) While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10% catering companies 10-13%, handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.
