Abstract
En la presente memoria, se realiza una evaluación, que permita decidir si es mejor adquirir un Boeing 747-400 o un Airbus 380-800 para la compañía aérea LAN. Esta empresa está constantemente efectuando estudios sobre su flota actual y sobre la oferta de aviones que existe en el mercado, ya que su idea es ir renovando y aumentando la cantidad de aviones que posee, a causa de que la demanda por sus servicios crece año tras año. En el primer capítulo, se describe el funcionamiento actual de LAN. Se desarrolla un estudio acerca de las empresas que componen el holding, la flota vigente, el posicionamiento de mercado en la industria aérea, los destinos donde llega, el sistema e instalaciones de mantenimiento que tiene y los indicadores económicos de los últimos años. Esto permite visualizar y determinar en qué pie está la empresa y con que herramientas cuenta para seguir creciendo. En el segundo capítulo, se establece la elección de la ruta y en base a esto, se describe como opera LAN en aquellos destinos; esto contempla la definición del servicio actual que brinda y como es el proceso operativo del vuelo, los competidores actuales y futuros y como está posicionada en este mercado, A su vez se determina el nuevo servicio que se ofrecerá, proyectándose la demanda y oferta, utilizando una tasa de crecimiento anual del 6,52 % para la demanda de pasajes y un 4,59 para la demanda de carga y teniendo como parámetro la participación de mercado actual de la empresa en relación a la demanda que se produce entre Chile y Europa. En el tercer capítulo, se elabora un análisis acerca del Boeing 747-400 y el Airbus 380-800. Se señalan antecedentes de funcionamiento y capacidad, estableciendo consideraciones técnicas de las aeronaves, se indaga en el mantenimiento que requiere cada avión, que cantidad de combustible necesitan y se precisan las restricciones operacionales que pueden llegar a tener; finalmente se realiza una comparación entre ambos aviones, que refleja las ventajas y perjuicios de cada opción. Lo anterior permite tener claridad, en relación a que el Boeing 747-400 se adapta de mejor manera a las condiciones actuales de la compañía. En el cuarto y último capítulo, se realiza un análisis económico que permita determinar y comparar los ingresos y costos que implica el arriendo de las aeronaves. En el caso del Airbus 380-800, el diferencial entre las entradas y salidas de dinero es levemente mayor al que se genera con el Boeing 747-400. La evaluación se realiza por un periodo de 8 años. La elección final sobre que opción es la más idónea para LAN, se fundamentó en el avión que se adecue mejor a las necesidades de la empresa y del mercado en que se desenvuelve, si es que existen problemas para su normal operación y también se consideró los indicadores económicos que se obtuvieron. Bajo este punto de vista, se llegó a la conclusión de que la mejor alternativa es el Boeing 747-400, ya que su operación es mucho más simple que la del otro avión y los costos en que se incurre no son tan considerables; ahora bien, en el aspecto económico su margen a favor, entre ingresos y costos es menor que el que se consigue con el Airbus 380-800, pero esta diferencia es mínima y el riesgo de basarse sólo en este antecedente es alto, porque la estimación de los ingresos puede ser errada ante cualquier variable que se modifique.
In the present memory there is an evaluation that allow to decide if it is better to acquire a Boeing 747-000 or an Airbus 380-800 to the aerial company LAN. This enterprise is usually doing researches about its actual fleet and on offer of planes that exists on the market, because the idea is to renovate and increase the quantity of planes that it has because the request of its services increase year through year. In the first chapter the function of the actual LAN is described. A research about the enterprises that constitute the holding the actual fleet, the position of the market in the aerial industry, the destiny where planes arrive, the system of installations of keeping that it has and the economical indicators of the last years. This allows to visualize and determine in what position the enterprise is and what are the tools that it has to continue its growth. In the second chapter, the election of the route is established and according to this is described how does LAN work in theses destines, this takes account the definition of the actual service that LAN gives and how is the operative process of flight, the actual and futures rivals and how is LAN positioned on this market. Moreover, is determined the new service that LAN will offer, projecting the offer and request, using an annual growth rate of 6.52% for the request of fares and a 4.59% for the request of air cargo having as parameter the participation of actual market of the enterprise in relation to the request that is produced in Chile and Europe. In the third chapter, is elaborated and analysis about of Boing 747-400 and the Airbus 380-800. The characteristics of function and capacity are named establishing spaceship techniques considerations, trying to explain more the keeping that each plane requires, the quantity of gasoline that they need and the restrictions operations they could have, finally there is a comparison between Boing 747-400 and Airbus 380-800, considering the advantages and disadvantages of each plane. The previous allows us to have us to have clearly respect to the fact the Boeing 747-400 is better adapted to the actual conditions of the company. In the fourth and last chapter there is and economical analysis that allows to determine and compare the ingress and costs which are involved in the rent of airships. In Airbus 380-800 the difference between ingress and sales outlet of money is bigger. Than sales outlet of Boeing 747-400, the evaluation is made through a period of time of eight years. The last decision on what option is better for LAN, is on reason that the qualities of the plane to be suitable to the enterprise and market’s necessities which it works, and if there are the problem for its normal operation are considered the economical indicators that the enterprise gets. According to this point of view, the conclusion is that the better alternative is the Boeing 747-400 because its operation is more simple than the other plane and apart from that the cost are not do big; in the economical aspect its favourable margin between ingress and cost are lower than the ingress and costs of Airbus 380-800 but difference is minimal and the risk of foundation only on this previous is high because the estimation of ingress could be wrong in the presence of any modificated variable
