Le document suivant analyse le processus de consolidation qui se dessine dans le secteur du transport aérien dans le but de comprendre ses caractéristiques principales et ensuite tirer des conclusions concernant le prix payé par les acquéreurs. Cette tendance est examinée en ayant recours à des multiples outils, comme l'analyse des inducteurs clés de l'industrie, une analyse quantitative d'une base de données et la discussion d'une étude de cas. Les données incluent 141 transactions M&A qui ont été analysés à travers d'une étude descriptive et ensuite une série de régressions linéaires. Les résultats montrent des preuves empiriques que, en moyenne, les compagnies aériennes souffrent d'une sous-valorisation au moment de l'acquisition, par rapport à la valeur de leurs actifs. Des résultats similaires ont été obtenus lorsque la totalité des capitaux est acquise, ou quand la cible est une société privée. Inversement, les transactions impliquant deux transporteurs full-service ont tendance à être conclues à des multiples plus élevés. Il en va de même pour les offres ciblant des compagnies aériennes de taille plus réduite, ou les participations minoritaires. Enfin, le cas Etihad-Alitalia est présenté comme étant un exemple unique, qui intègre la plupart des résultats obtenus dans l'analyse.
The following paper analyses the consolidation process that is emerging in the airline industry with the purpose of understanding its main features and then draw conclusions concerning the price paid by acquirers. This major trend is examined resorting to multiple tools such as an indepth study of industry value drivers, a quantitative analysis of a database and the discussion of a case study. The dataset in particular included 141 M&A transactions that were analysed through a descriptive study first and then performing a series of linear regressions. The findings show empirical evidence that, on average, airlines are acquired at a discount compared to their assets' value. Similar results have been obtained when the entire capital is acquired or when the target is a private company. Conversely, transactions involving two fullservice carriers tend to be concluded at higher multiples as much as deals targeting small airlines or a minority stake.

Abstract
The following paper analyses the consolidation process that is emerging in the airline industry with the purpose of understanding its main features and then draw conclusions concerning the price paid by acquirers. This major trend is examined resorting to multiple tools such as an indepth study of industry value drivers, a quantitative analysis of a database and the discussion of a case study. The dataset in particular included 141 M&A transactions that were analysed through a descriptive study first and then performing a series of linear regressions. The findings show empirical evidence that, on average, airlines are acquired at a discount compared to their assets' value. Similar results have been obtained when the entire capital is acquired or when the target is a private company. Conversely, transactions involving two fullservice carriers tend to be concluded at higher multiples as much as deals targeting small airlines or a minority stake. Finally, the Etihad-Alitalia case is presented being a unique example, which incorporates most of the findings obtained in the analysis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
