KRI Initiates Coverage on American Airlines: Moat Ratings Show American Airlines Needs Competitive Advantage
(PRLEAP.COM) Herndon, VA. The Kanbay Research Institute (KRI), an independent non-incorporated operating unit of Capgemini, initiated coverage on American Airlines as part of their competitive ratings of the Travel industry. The KRI standardized system measures how well a company is building durable advantage and provides overall and detailed ratings across nine competitive moats by analyzing consumer responses. American Airlines has not achieved strength in any moat ratings. A 5M is the most competitive rating possible.
The most significant challenge that American Airlines faces is protecting their $20 billion in revenue and position as the nation’s largest airline. The caveat to this is that American lacks a competitive advantage to shield these revenues, which is a great detriment to their business in such a commoditized, troubled industry. American Airlines is included in the KRI’s annual industry study, Travel Demand Today. In the 2006 study, KRI conducted 2,066 interviews with U.S. consumers to rate 30 companies.
Complete ratings for American Airlines can be found in the KRI Analyst Report. To download a copy of the report, please visit http://www.kanbayresearch.com/premium/mykri_analystreport.php?id=11 or contact info@kanbayresearch.com.
