Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 1,7, , language: English, abstract: The aviation industry has changed in the recent years rapidly. Twenty to thirty years ago the aviation was too expensive for the most people and a network of international air connections often did not exist. Nowadays the aviation belongs almost to an everyday business, whether professionally or privately. At the end of the 70s there was an air traffic revolution, the concept of the low cost carrier (LCC) started. The LCC is a provider of the basic products, such as low service on board, seat comfort and free baggage drop off. 1 The first LCC was the southwest airlines from the USA. Up to the 90s Southwest offered LCC connection in US; without competitors in this business area. In 1990 the Irish airline Ryanair was founded and was the first LCC in the European (EU) area. The airlines are facing new challenges: more clientele, more fair flight prices in comparison to the competition and in addition high margins. For a long time such scheduled airlines like LH Group, KLM- Air France and British Airways-Iberia were the representative airlines in the EU. People have spent a lot of money for having a full service on Board (luggage, food, etc.) and were often dissatisfied about constantly rising prices for the flight tickets. With the origin of LCC, the market has changed enormously. Yearly scheduled airlines announce customer decline and decreasing profits. What is the reason for that? Are the LCC responsible for it? Do the scheduled airlines have to rethink their strategies to be still competitive in the market?

Low-cost carrier industry: A focus on Germanwings strategy
Author: Volker Küpper
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3638047474
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,0, Edinburgh Napier University, course: Economics of Business Strategy, language: English, abstract: Since the world’s first airline company has been established (German Airship Transport Corporation in 1909), especially the new style of low-cost airlines increased the competition on the market for commercial flights. Towards the end of the century low-cost airlines offered first no-frills products at a low price. The concept originated in the U.S., before it spread to Europe in the early 1990’s and subsequently to the rest of the world (Chan 2000). One main reason for the accelerated increase of low-cost flights can be seen in the EU enlargement, where open skies arrangements were extended. As a result low-cost routes were established by existing and new operators. The main characteristic of this new strategic orientation was the lower operating cost structure than this of the traditional market participants. The traditional airline industry had to face an essential change in the market, with an increase of competition and new business models. Focusing on Europe, there were only a few low-cost airlines before the year of 2000. However, today about 60 low-cost carriers moved mainstream in Europe with a total market share of 24%, whereas in Germany 23 low-cost airlines operate (Berster 2007)... ...To evaluate the specific strategy of Germanwings it is necessary to set limits to the field of study. After introducing the company itself, the strategic position will be evaluated by focusing on Germany. Thus, Germanwings will be compared to the operators acting in this country. Therefore, it is useful to introduce a strategic mapping and the analysis of price practices focusing on Germanwings. Furthermore, important individual measures of the company will be explained which soften the impact of the above mentioned external influencing factors (PEST-analysis). Finally, some up-to-date measures of the company will conclude its strategic orientation.

Nonmarket Strategic Management
Author: Cosmina Lelia Voinea
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317421728
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Strategic management has traditionally concerned itself with delivering objectives based on an assessment of resources and the market environment. However, there are many actors considered ‘outside’ the firm that inevitably shape the dynamics within the market. Nonmarket strategies entail social, political, and legal arrangements that reinforce or enable market strategies, providing a comprehensive approach to improving performance and gaining a competitive advantage. This book introduces nonmarket strategic management within these contexts. Divided into two parts, the first part offers theories and managerial support for coping with the complex business realities surrounded by social, political and legal spheres; the second part presents examples of the challenges firms in the nonmarket environment. These examples show how firms can strategically manage and work with social, political and regulatory stakeholders to achieve their goals. Written by two leading scholars in the area, this book is essential reading for business students, managers and leaders.

Innovation in Commoditized Service Industries
Author: Maximilian Rothkopf
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643100191
Category : Airlines
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The passenger airline industry is a prominent service industry that is becoming increasingly commoditized. As little empirical work in this field exists, this study contributes to research by exploring how passenger airlines leverage innovation in such market conditions from a strategic and organizational view. Comprehensive case studies of a sample of eight passenger airlines constitute the empirical basis. The analysis detects patterns of innovations and draws conclusions on the strategic innovation behavior in the airline industry. The study proposes an organizational concept and a strategic approach for airlines to innovate in an increasingly commoditized market.

Climate Change and Aviation
Author: Stefan Gossling
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136569669
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
'This is a timely, challenging and fascinating book on a topic of central importance to the success or otherwise of our climate change policies. It sets down a clear marker for what has to be done in the aviation sector.' Professor John Whitelegg, Stockholm Environment Institute, University of York, UK 'Climate Change and Aviation presents a clear picture of the transport sector's greatest challenge: how to reconcile aviation's immense popularity with its considerable environmental damage and its dependence on liquid hydrocarbon energy sources. This book avoids wishful thinking and takes the much harder, but more productive, path of considering difficult solutions that clash with short-term and short-sighted expectations about the unlimited growth potential for flying.' Professor Anthony Perl, Urban Studies Program, Simon Fraser University, Canada 'A convincing and timely collection that brings together an impressive range of expertise. The book integrates various perspectives into a powerful core argument - we must do something, and quickly, to tackle the impact of aviation on our environment. The authors recognise the political difficulties associated with promoting change but present constructive options for policy makers. Required reading, especially for transport ministers set on promoting the growth of air travel.' Professor Jon Shaw, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Transport, University of Plymouth, UK Trends such as the massive growth in availability of air travel and air freight are among those which have led to aviation becoming one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. These trends have also caused a shift in expectations of how we do business, where we go on holiday, and what food and goods we can buy. For these reasons aviation is (and is set to stay) high up on global political, organizational and media agendas. This textbook is the first to attempt a comprehensive review of the topic, bringing together an international team of leading scientists. Starting with the science of the environmental issues, it moves on to cover drivers and trends of growth, socio-economics and politics, as well as mitigation options, the result being a broad yet detailed examination of the field. This is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in transport, tourism, the environment, geography and beyond, while also being a valuable resource for professionals and policymakers seeking a clear understanding of this complex yet urgently pressing issue.

Book Description
Aviation is one of the most widely talked about industries in the global economy and yet airlines continue to present an enigma. Between 2010 and 2018 the global airline industry experienced its longest period of sustained profitability; however, huge global profits hid a darker side.

Providing a complete, practical introduction to the fundamentals of airline economics and marketing, it explores the structure of the market, the nature of airline costs, issues around pricing and demand, and the latest developments in e-commerce. Vibrant examples are drawn from passenger, charter and freight airlines to provide a dynamic view of the entire industry. This completely updated edition also explores the sweeping changes that have affected airlines in recent years. It includes much new material on airline alliances, long-haul low-cost airlines, new pricing policies and ancillary revenues in order to present a compelling account of the current state of the airline industry. Offering a practical approach and peppered with real examples, this book will be valuable to anyone new to the airline industry as well as those wishing to gain a wider insight into its operations and economics. For undergraduate or postgraduate students in transport studies, tourism and business the book provides a unique insider's view into the workings of this exciting industry.
