The Insider: Meet the Fund Manager sessions are a great way to hear directly from leading funds managers. They share their approach to investing, favourite companies and their market view for the year ahead.
The Insider: Meet the CEO sessions feature a selection of company leaders who provide a succinct overview of big things their companies are doing.
With most domestic flights at a standstill, it might seem counterintuitive to invest in aviation. Alliance Airlines (ASX: AQZ) has proven, however, that with disruption comes great opportunity.
Alliance Airlines transports FIFO miners across Australia’s vast landmass, to some of its most remote regions.
In the past, miners would typically jump on a Qantas or Virgin flight to get to site. The impacts of COVID-19 on the major airlines, however, mean mining companies are looking for other options like Alliance.
“They are the solution that allowed many mining customers to continue to operate through the COVID-19 period,” said Yarra Capital Management’s microcaps portfolio manager Joel Fleming, who pointed out Alliance Airlines as one of his top picks for microcap stocks.
“This is a really unique example of a potential structural shift in the market,” added Mr Fleming.
According to Alliance’s CEO, Lee Schofield, disruptions to aviation like September 11, the GFC, SARS, the mining downturn, and now COVID-19, have tended to help, not hinder, the business.
“We have shown through all of those periods of disruption that we can actually generate new opportunities and thrive,” said Mr Schofield.
Armed with long-term contracts with major clients and a business model that reduces fuel consumption and passenger risk, Mr Fleming said that Alliance is ready to take a significant, long-term share of the FIFO market.
“We wouldn’t be surprised over the next 12 months if we see some pretty impressive contracts come through which really underwrite the long-term profitability of this business,” said Mr Fleming.
