The challenge
British Airways turned to RDC to better understand their user charges, verify that invoices properly reflected the actual scale of operations and identify areas where they could make savings.
How RDC helped
RDC has worked with British Airways since 2012 helping them to monitor and reduce airport charges. Access to AirportCharges has allowed British Airways to have better governance and control of spend through access to up-to-date and original tariff documents and summary level charging data, as well as the ability to easily conduct modelling to consider options and costs when making fleet or network changes. This provides more confidence when proposing and implementing changes.
Quotes
When I became the budget owner for User Charges I started to construct a database of original contractual documents that related to airport and air traffic control suppliers. That process was very time consuming and was difficult to keep current.
When we conducted our market review of what was commercially available, RDC’s solution provided superior access to up-to-date tariff data via an intuitive online portal. This functionality fulfilled the brief exactly.
RDC helps us achieve our corporate target of reducing non-fuel costs one percent every year
