Supply chain video: Supply risks for airlines

Filed in archive Supply chain video on May 16, 2009

I came across this video from Ariba event where Joseph Gigliotti, Manager of Supply Chain System and Strategy at jetBlue, shares his thoughts on the top 3 supply risks in his industry. In Jeseph's point of view, the top risks include:

1) Price of fuel which is fluctuating (was going down but seems to increase again),
2) Inflation (the effect which might have on the contracts)
3) And at last crisis which has had some impact on the number of tickets bought and the type of them.



He also talks a little bit about how effective management of procurement is helping to reduce those risks and opportunities he sees in this buyer's market.
