Private Credit Scores
Our neutral, universal, private and customisable credit scoring model addresses risk management challenges that are unique to the airline sector:- Limited coverage of credit ratings available from recognised agencies
- Propensity for government intervention for economic and political reasons;
- Insolvency and default risk cycles contrary to those of most other sectors.
Model takes into account over 50 measures covering Balance Sheet Health, Profitability, Productivity, Outlook, Reputation and Strategic Value.
Primarily based on quantitative measures with weightings for each component and regular updates.
Portfolio, Benchmarking & Sales Targeting
Our portfolio service comprises three tailored dashboards for your airline portfolio covering References and Attributes, Key Performance Indicators and Credit Considerations of your choice.Our benchmarking service enables you to select a portfolio and set of ratios to benchmark covering liquidity, leverage, profitability and other credit metrics.
Our sales targeting tool is an extension of the services, which enables you to classify, traffic light and filter all airlines in the database across attributes and indicators according to best fit with your ideal airline account and potential value to you.
Outlooks
Our outlook services comprise tailored dashboards with indicators of your choice for all airlines in the database that include:- Short-term outlook dashboards focussing on liquidity;

- Financial market dashboard covering all airlines that are traded to provide a market view of each airline’s value and risk;

Portfolio Management & Pricing for Risk
Our client confidential services in this area are the deliveries from a consultancy project to define and implement a pricing and portfolio management system.Pricing for risk services enable you to maintain your pricing model, collateral rates and credit risk premiums applied to credit score bands and determine a guide price based on your model.
Portfolio management is an extension of pricing for risk and reports airline portfolio results on individual accounts and overall, with a focus on portfolio KPI, contracts vs. plan and actuals vs. contracts.
Risk & Portfolio Management Applications
We design, build and host client branded and customised risk and portfolio management applications using the MIK BI platform.These can use data from the core Airline Insights application complemented by internal and external data provided by the client, e.g. fleet data, forward sales exposure.
Alternatively, the application can be bespoke and separate from Airline Insights, with data sourced and maintained by the client themselves, including integration with the client’s operational and financial systems.
