GRA, Incorporated

Description

GRA has been providing consulting services and conducting analytic studies for the FAA for 30 years. The firm has supported the Office of Aviation Policy and Plans in a series of task order contracts that have been awarded competitively. These contracts have been multi-year and have involved a large number of work orders in diverse study areas.

The seasoned skills of GRA’s team and our analytic capabilities are highly valued by key players in the airline industry worldwide, whether addressing challenges or approaching new opportunities. The firm has recent project experience in all regions of the world.

The liberalization and/or deregulation of aviation markets have created opportunities for carriers to reassess their network strategies. Using specialized tools, GRA helps airlines evaluate the market share and revenue benefits of alternative network strategies including rescheduling hub banks, forming alliances with new partners or merging with other carriers. We have extensive experience in conducting due diligence analysis for airline mergers and acquisitions, both within the U.S. and internationally.

GRA helps financial institutions anticipate the effects of industry developments by assessing the prospects for individual carriers in a rapidly changing economic environment, and by providing the capabilities to support transaction structuring and pricing. These assessments rely on evaluation of each carrier’s assets (including fleets, airport slots and other facilities, market positions, labor status, hubs) and the carrier’s strategies for applying them.
