Airborne, Inc. (known publicly as “Airborne Express”) is a delivery company and air freight forwarder that expedites package, document, and freight shipments to destinations throughout the United States and most foreign countries. Domestically, the company focuses on express services for high-volume corporate customers. Internationally, the company targets the outbound express and freight shipments of U.S. corporate customers and sells the inbound service of the company's distribution capabilities in the United States. As of 1997, 70% of the company’s shipments were delivered via aircraft, with the remainder handled by either company-owned or contracted ground vehicles such as vans and trucks.

Airborne Express also provides door-to-door express and deferred delivery of small packages and documents throughout the United States as well as several foreign countries. Tracing its origins back to the 1940s, Airborne Express has grown to become a well-known domestic and international freight forwarder. In fact, Airborne Express has successfully adopted a best-cost provider strategy in which it matches close rivals on key product and service attributes while beating them on price. Indeed, the company derives its principal competitive advantage from its unique bundling of quality service, flexible delivery, and low prices. Moreover, the company’s proposed merger with DHL during the summer of 2003 promises to increase competition and make Airborne Express a much stronger challenger to the dominant express delivery service providers.

Domestic Products and Services

More than 300 facilities in the US are involved in supporting the company’s domestic express and deferred delivery services. Shipments normally weigh less than 100 pounds and typically contain valuable, time-sensitive items, such as medicines, high-fashion goods, and computer parts, for which speed and reliability of delivery are paramount. Specifically, Airborne Express’ domestic products and services are as follows:

Overnight Express – comprising nearly half of the company’s domestic shipments in 2002, the Overnight Express product provides shipment delivery before noon by the following business day to the 50-largest metropolitan areas in the US. In addition, weekend and holiday pickup and delivery service are available in many US cities. For an additional $5 per package, customers can opt to have their shipment delivered by 10:30 A.M. instead of noon.

Next Afternoon Service – this product provides shipment delivery by 3 P.M. on the following business day and is priced lower than the Overnight Express product.

Second Day Service – this product provides shipment delivery by 5 P.M. on the second business day and is priced lower than the Next Afternoon Service product. Comprising more than a third of the company’s domestic shipments in 2002, the Next Afternoon Service and Second Day Service products are both priced lower than the Overnight Express product.

airborne@home - this is a deferred service product that serves the residential delivery market and also targets e-commerce businesses and catalog markets. These shipments are picked up and delivered by Airborne Express to more than 21,000 US Postal Service destination delivery units, after which they are delivered to private residences via the Post Office’s parcel select service. Shipment

Page 2: Airborne Word

times range from two to four days.

Ground Delivery Service – this is a deferred service product that targets corporate customers that require high-volume shipments. As the name implies, shipments are delivered by ground transportation units such as trucks and vans. Because time-sensitivity is less of an issue, Ground Delivery Service shipments are typically priced lower than equivalent air express delivery shipments.

The company also offers value-added services through its Airborne Logistics Services division. These services allow customers to maintain centralized inventories operated either by Airborne or their own personnel. Moreover, any items that customers store near Aiborne’s principal sort facility in Wilmington, Ohio, can be transported immediately on Airborne aircraft to nearly any destination in the world. Not surprisingly, these services are very attractive to customers who employ Just-In-Time (JIT) supply and distribution networks.

Finally, the company’s Sky Courier subsidiary provides immediate domestic and international services at premium prices. Sky Courier accounts for only a minuscule portion of the company’s total domestic deliveries.

Figure 1 summarizes the breakdown of domestic delivery shipment types in 2002.

Figure 1 Domestic Deliveries by Shipment Type (2002)

International Operations

Airborne Express provides freight and express delivery services to foreign customers through a network of company offices and independent agencies. The company also utilizes its extensive domestic network to bolster its offices in such far-flung places as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, France, Holland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Airborne’s international air express service picks up shipments of up to 150 pounds and delivers them to virtually any foreign location within four days. The company also offers international air and ocean freight services for heavier shipments. To handle shipments to and from foreign locations, the

company resorts to commercial airliners in addition to its own fleet of aircraft. The company also employs variable costing and service arrangements with independent freight and express delivery agents to handle shipments to locations in which the company does not have a presence. In a few cases,

Page 3: Airborne Word

Airborne has also entered into joint venture agreements to gain inside knowledge of unfamiliar markets and cultures, expand opportunities by combining its capabilities with those of its partners, and extend its international presence.

Nevertheless, as Figure 2 illustrates, international operations remain modest, with foreign shipments accounting for only 2% of the company’s total shipments by volume in 2002.

Figure 2 Shipments by Destination (2002)

International shipments are also less profitable, generating $1.01 in revenue per pound versus $1.70 in revenue per pound for domestic shipments in 2002.

Communications Technology

FOCUS (Freight On-line Control and Update System) is Airborne’s proprietary communications system that provides 24-hr real-time tracking and shipment information and monitors the company’s global operating performance. Besides linking company agents and facilities all over the world, FOCUS allows employees to easily input shipping information through hand-held barcode scanners. An added advantage of the system is that customers can access information on their shipment by telephone or through the company’s website at http://www.airborne.com/.

As mentioned above, the company has installed new hand-held scanners that reduce domestic pickup and delivery times by allowing employees to easily input shipment information into FOCUS. In addition, customers can use the scanners to provide a digital signature and thereby confirm receipt of delivery. Airborne had deployed more than 12,000 scanners by the end of 2002, with plans to deploy an additional 5,700 scanners by July of 2003.

Marketing

The four components of Airborne’s marketing mix are summarized in Figure 3 and explained below.

Page 4: Airborne Word

Figure 3 Airborne's Marketing Mix

Product – door-to-door express and deferred delivery of documents and packages, along with ocean and air freight forwarding; logistics and other value-added services are also available

Place – Fifty-largest metropolitan areas of the United States; international locations served through network of local independent agents and forwarders

Promotion – direct sales force; no mass media advertising; domestic sales representatives responsible for both domestic and international marketing; upper management heavily involved in marketing; international division has its own sales force

Price - based on competitive factors, service type, anticipated costs, shipment volume, and weight; normally lower than price offered by major competitors; high-volume customers enjoy discounts

Competition

Airborne Express finds itself in a very competitive market in which the major players wrestle against each other in a never-ending quest to increase market share and profitability. Although customers often select carriers for a variety of reasons, Airborne must remain competitive as regards four primary factors that govern most customers’ selection of an express carrier (shown in Figure 4 ): price, reliable pickup and delivery, frequency and capacity of scheduled service, and value-added services.

Page 5: Airborne Word

Figure 4 Principal Carrier Selection Factors

Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) is the dominant competitor in the domestic air express business, followed by United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS). Airborne Express finds itself in third position behind these two companies in terms of domestic air shipping volume. Other domestic air express competitors include the U.S. Postal Service’s Express and Priority Mail Services, as well as several other transportation companies offering next morning or next-plane-out delivery service. Airborne also competes with small, regional ground transportation companies as well as fax and e-mail services.

At the international level, Airborne Express competes with FedEx, UPS, DHL, TNT, air freight forwarders and carriers, and many commercial airline companies.

Merger

On March 25, 2003, Airborne and DHL announced that they would enter into a merger in which DHL would acquire Airborne’s ground operations. Under the terms of the agreement, Airborne’s air operations will be spun off to form an independent company called ABX Air. The company will be completely owned by current Airborne shareholders, who will receive shares in the new company equal to the number of shares they currently hold in Airborne.

According to Airborne and DHL, the merger will strengthen DHL’s operations in the United States by allowing Airborne to more effectively serve small-to-medium-sized corporate customers. The merger is particularly attractive to Airborne as it promises to increase the company’s access to DHL’s large capital and resource base, which Airborne needs to effectively compete against the two “900-lb gorillas,” FedEx and UPS. Barring lack of regulatory approval, the merger is expected to be finalized by the end of the summer of 2003.

Maximize strategic benefits of DHL merger:

Take advantage of positive Airborne/DHL synergies to improve efficiency and profitability of domestic ground operations

Leverage DHL’s significant international presence to pursue attractive foreign opportunities

Take advantage of DHL’s marketing resources to promote viability of Airborne as a best-cost delivery provider
