Abstract:

While 3.3 billion people flew worldwide in 2014 a large number of these were from developed countries. It is emerging countries which offer the greatest potential for future air traffic growth, with forecasts suggesting that 7.3 billion people will fly by 2034. The greatest proportion of this traffic will be in the Asia-Pacific region where there is already high low-cost carrier penetration. Given increasing price-based competition within short-haul markets, there are many significant challenges in terms of how Asian network airlines respond to LCC competition, and a popular response is the use of low-cost subsidiaries. Thus, the aims of this research are to establish the sources of competitive advantage of Asian airlines generally, and to examine the competitive responses of Asian network airlines and the strategic capabilities of them in competing with low-cost carriers, with a particular focus upon the use of low-cost subsidiaries. This research is underpinned with competitive advantage theory, particularly the resource-based view which concerns the internal environment of firms where each firm possesses a collection of unique resources and capabilities that provide the foundation for competitive strategy. For this research, data were collected from 49 senior airline management personnel using questionnaire surveys, resource surveys, and semi-structured interviews. The data were then analysed using VRIN analysis, the importance and difficulty of 37 competitive responses, strategic capability analysis, and the product and organisational architecture model. The results found that both a strong strategy and stable leadership are crucial. The strategies of Asian network airlines must be flexible to respond appropriately to competitive threats as they materialise, with this responsiveness contributing to the attainment of competitive advantage. Out of an analysed 36 intangible resources, the top resources for competitive advantage and responding to competitive threats for Asian airlines generally are slots, brand, and product and service reputation, with the importance of these based more on being hard to copy than valuable. Each analysed airline business model has a relatively distinct core bundle of intangible resources which explains the internal sources of their competitive advantage. The need for Asian network airlines to strengthen their competitive advantage and their ability to compete is because low-cost carriers impact them in many ways, most notably through a reduction in market share and reduced yields given the key motivation of customers within short-haul markets and economy class is now price and value-for-money. Asian network airlines are most likely to respond to low-cost carriers if they focus upon their core markets, grow their market share, and target the core higher-yielding passengers on which network airlines rely. In such instances, Asian network airlines should respond by focusing more on their brands and meeting the needs of their core targeted market segments. There is a strong positive correlation between profit margin and the strategic capability to compete with low-cost carriers. Yet, Asian network airlines have relatively weak capabilities overall. While Vietnam Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, and Garuda Indonesia are reasonably well placed to compete, network airlines from Northeast Asia, in particular, must strengthen their capabilities especially as Japan, China, and Taiwan are witnessing fast low-cost carrier growth. However, the possession of a strong capability does not mean it is fully or properly leveraged. To compete more effectively with low-cost carriers, the most important competitive responses, based upon analysis of 37 responses, are the ability of management to quickly introduce changes, leveraging brand strength, and increasing aircraft utilisation. Based on the relationship between the importance and difficulty of responses, the most crucial responses for competitive advantage of Asian network airlines are reducing costs to within 30% of LCCs and increasing aircraft utilisation. If achieved, these should lead to meaningful sustained advantage. Low-cost subsidiaries are easier to implement than for network airlines to significantly reduce costs, change to one fleet, or reduce the use of direct distribution, which may explain their popularity within Asia and them being a borderline very essential competitive response. For network airlines, low-cost subsidiaries are a more effective way to compete with low-cost carriers, to participate in the growth of the budget segment, a means of operating uneconomic routes, and to remove unprofitable customers. Network airlines can then focus upon their core market segments and their core competencies. However, their creation is reactive and not proactive which undermines their effectiveness, likewise that low-cost subsidiaries suffer from poor profitability, higher costs, and much smaller size and scale than their key low-cost competitors. This research recommends that Asian network airlines strengthen their existing and primary sources of competitive advantage while pursuing new sources of advantage. While the strategic capabilities of Asian network airlines have strengthened over time, it is essential that they are further strengthened and fully acted upon given increasing competitiveness. The use of low-cost subsidiaries will continue, but it is crucial for themselves and their parent network airlines that they improve their ability to compete and thereby their performance.

Abstract:

For many companies, the Internet has revolutionized the relationship they have with their customers concerning costumer service. The use of Information Technology in regard to Internet as a media has provided companies with the opportunity to build customer databases in order to target their customers individually. The airline industry was one of the first pioneers to use the full potential of Internet to improve customer relations and its profits which we aim to investigate in greater detail in our thesis.

Our thesis answers the question on how Scandinavian Airlines' (SAS) Eurobonus department uses their website to create valuable and profitable relationships with SAS loyalty club members through direct marketing. In order to answer our research question, three key informants have been interviewed - each representing different sub departments at Eurobonus; service and support, IT and marketing. Our results were that the Eurobonus department use direct marketing methods by sending customized e-mail offerings to target specific customer, using their customer databases. Other findings were that SAS Eurobonus' customer relations were vital and well functioning, except for the fact that SAS homepage lacks sufficient opportunities to create a dialogue and proper communication between Eurobonus and its customers.

För många organisationer har Internet revolutionerat förhållandet för kundservice. Med hjälp av informationsteknologi med Internet som medium kan organisationer skapa kunddatabaser som ger dem möjlighet att behandla kunder som enskilda individer. Flygbranschen var en av de första att inse de många möjligheterna med Internet för att förbättra kundrelationerna och att göra dessa lönsammare, och detta ämnar vi undersöka i denna uppsats.

Uppsatsen behandlar hur flygbolaget, Scandinavian Airlines, SAS, Eurobonusavdelning arbetar med direktmarknadsföring via sin hemsida för att skapa bättre och lönsammare relationer med sina medlemmar i Eurobonusprogrammet. För uppsatsens räkning har tre av SAS medarbetare, som var och en representerar olika Eurobonusavdelningar, intervjuats: service och support, IT och marknadsföringsavdelningen. Vi har kommit fram till att Eurobonusavdelningen använder sig av direktmarknadsföring främst via e-post till sina kunder och att informationen i e-postmeddelandet är individualiserat till kunden - vilket är möjligt genom Eurobonus kunddatabaser. Vi kom även fram till att Eurobonus idag har fungerande kundrelationer, det saknas dock en fungerande dialog mellan kunden och företaget på hemsidan.

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 131-134).
The airline Industry has been recognised as a high value industry. The market carrying over 2 billion passengers each year and occupied over 35% of global merchandise in trade by value.Studies have been conducted globally to investigate the feasibility and return on investment for local or international airlines, with several analytical methodologies in use. The focus of this dissertation is to analyse the impact of financial risk factors, including interest rate exposures, currency fluctuations, and fuel price changes on the airline industry. This study investigates risk exposures in the South African airline industry and uses data on South African Airways (SAA) and Comair to calculate the impact of risk factors on exposure significance. The key results show that, on average, the exposures are more significant over the short-term horizons which becomes fundamental as the horizon length increases. In cases where the non-linear coefficient is slightly strengthened as the return horizon is lengthened, the sign of the exposure point coefficient does not necessarily point in the favourable direction of returns. Thus, a positive coefficient indicates a tendency of the risk factor and returns to move in the same direction, while a negative sign means that the impact on returns decreases as the exposure increases. Based on the financial ratio analysis of the airline characteristics, the results indicate that SAA shows a better return on investment better than Comair. Particularly SAA (SAA Annual Report: 2005) shows an improvement in performance with an increase in revenues and stable cost bases, despites the unexpected increase in oil dollar prices by 42%, which contrib tes to a large increase in returns. Lastly, structural changes in exposures are investigated, focusing on an extraordinary event of the global aviation industry the terrorist attack in New York on September 11 , 2001. No impact on SAA or Comair was found during the study period, which indicates that our study subjects may be less risk impacted by U.S. influences in comparison to other international airlines. The common financial speculation of higher risks are accompanied by higher returns may not be feasible to the airline industry, but strategic planning changes and future financial management adaptations to fit the global economy may bring a positive impact on the industry. This brings opportunities for further research.

Abstract:

The greening of management theory suggests that to ensure the environmental sustainability of businesses, a paradigm shift is required away from valuing profit maximisation as the fundamental objective of business, towards incorporating more ecocentric goals and corporate social responsibility into the management equation. The development of mechanisms and tools for a business's environmental sustainability needs to take into consideration the complex issue and value-laden environment in which corporate environmental policy-making occurs, if tools are to be socially and politically legitimated. In this policy-making context there has been growing importance placed on the role of social science in environmental decision-making, as the natural sciences alone may no longer be sufficient to guide the development of sustainable environmental management. This thesis uses a case study of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) to examine an airline's decision-making processes and drivers for environmental commitment. The airline industry is the focus of this research. Although the airline industry is part of the service sector, it possesses several characteristics similar to those of manufacturing industries including intense regulation, high entry barriers and high capital costs, with tendencies towards oligopolies. It thus provides an interesting juxtaposition between the 'heavy' industries sectors such as the chemical, mining and energy sectors (the focus of much of the empirical research on environmental motivations) and the more consumer-oriented service components of the service industry. The increasing uptake of ecolabels and benchmarking practices in service sectors such as the tourism industry demonstrate growing corporate interest in voluntary and market-based mechanisms to address the management of environmental impacts. Although aviation has been examined with respect to its impacts on the environment, it has not been considered with regard to the internal management processes which are used to develop company policies. The research for this thesis was carried out using a mixed method approach for data collection that included interviews, an interactive discussion tool, document analysis and a literature review. The case study, SAS, is an international commercial airline and one of the founding members of the Star AllianceTM network. SAS operates predominantly at the Scandinavian and European Union level, a domain that has given much attention to environmental issues. This study uses two key decisions that were made in SAS to demonstrate how environmental issues were taken into consideration in the airline's decision-making process. The first decision focuses on a strategic move by the airline in 1995 to purchase 'environmentally-friendly' aircraft engines, and the second decision deals with a new inflight service concept, Scandinavian Direct, that was created by SAS following the economic downturn in the industry in 2001. Based on an in-depth analysis of the drivers identified by both Scandinavian Airlines and related industry officials, this study shows that attitudes, values and beliefs generated both internally and externally have a critical impact on the airline's environmental policy-making. Although there are numerous influences that drive SAS's level of environmental commitment, three of these 'motivators' are particularly noteworthy in the findings. Firstly, this research demonstrates that eco-efficiencies, in various forms, are indeed a strong motive at SAS. Secondly, the Scandinavian culture also plays an influential role in the value SAS puts on the environment at a strategic level. Thirdly, it was found that internal leadership, in the form of environmental champions in senior management positions, played a key role in the positive outcomes of the airline's environmental performance. The implications of this study are three-fold. Firstly, the study provides empirical evidence of the motivations and influences for an individual company at a level of depth provided in few case studies. Secondly, it provides findings that can be used in the development of mechanisms to encourage airlines to continually improve their environmental performance. Thirdly, the significance of this research is founded on the notion that it is crucial to understand the external and internal drivers that influence the development of airline environmental policy if realistic and appropriate benchmarks are to be set for different sectors of the tourism industry. Given the historic and forecasted growth in air travel, the salience of this research is demonstrated.

Abstract:

A column generation based approach is proposed to solve scheduling problems for fractional airlines efficiently and return near optimal schedules. Crew tours are building blocks of our approach, and our approach is focused on exploring more feasible tours than other approaches. In particular, all elements of a crew tour are optimized during the preparation and tour generation procedures. Moreover, time windows of customer-requested flights are handled exactly, and generalized to time window and crew time window of duties and tours. Furthermore, time windows of tours are contained in the MIP formulation to ensure more feasible connections between tours. In the pricing subproblem, an efficient constrained shortest path algorithm is proposed, which is necessary for our model and also provides extensibility for incorporating more complex constraints in the future. Computational results of our model show very small optimality gaps and consistent improvements over the model used in practice. Moreover, restricted versions of our model that have fast running time are provided, thus very desired in the case that running time has more priority than solution quality. In order to understand the demand, data mining of demand data is presented and analyzed. Moreover, a recovery model is proposed to deal with unscheduled maintenance in practice, by reserving airplanes and crews in the model. Computational experiments show the advantage of the recovery model, in the case of simulated unscheduled maintenance and comparing to models without recovery considerations.

Abstract:

Fractional aircraft ownership programs offer companies and individuals all the benefits of owning private jet, such as safety, consistency, and guaranteed availability, at a fraction of the cost of owning an aircraft. In the fractional ownership model, the partial owners of an aircraft are entitled to certain number of hours per year, and the management company is responsible for all the operational considerations and making sure an aircraft is available to the owners at the requested time and location. This thesis research proposes advance optimization techniques to help the management company to optimally operate its available resources and provides tools for strategic decision making. The contributions of this thesis are: (i) The development of optimization methodologies to assign and schedule aircraft and crews so that all flight requests are covered at the lowest possible cost. First, a simple model is developed to solve the crew pairing and aircraft routing problem with column generation assuming that a crew stays with one specific aircraft during its duty period. Secondly, this assumption is partially relaxed to improve resource utilization by revising the simple model to allow a crew to use another aircraft when its original aircraft goes under long maintenance. Thirdly, a new comprehensive model utilizing Benders decomposition technique and a fleet-station time line is proposed to completely relax the assumption that crew stays with one specific aircraft. It combines the fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing problems. In the proposed methodologies, real world details are taken into consideration, such as crew transportation and overtime costs, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance effects, crew rules, and the presence of non-crew-compatible fleets. Scheduling with time windows is also discussed. (ii) The analysis of operational strategies to provide decision making support. Scenario analyses are performed to provide insights on improving business profitability and aircraft availability, such as impact of aircraft maintenance, crew swapping, effect of increasing demand by Jet-card and geographical business expansion, size of company owned aircraft, and strategies to deal with the stochastic feature of unscheduled maintenance and demand.

Abstract:

This dissertation reports on the factors that contributed to the successful entry strategy of 1time Airline, a low cost carrier, into the South African airline industry as well as its competitive strategies within this context. Research interviews were conducted in November 2005 and research material gathered until end January 2006. Key issues include an evaluation of 1time's business model in relation to other low cost entrants as well as against material sourced through interviews with 1time Airline management, employees and consumers of the airline's product. Porter's Generic Strategies and Five Forces model are used as a framework in evaluating the airline. It is found that Nohria, Joyce and Robertson's "4+2 Formula" is effectively implemented at the airline, but that further implementation of Game Theory in terms of alliances should be investigated for continued success and sustainability.

Abstract:

The concept of a value chain has assumed a dominant position in the strategic analysis of industries. However, the concept of linear value chain has recently become unsuitable as a tool to analyze some industries and to uncover many sources of value. The value grid approach allows firms to identify opportunities and threats in a more explicit way than with the traditional value chain model. Until now, there are still not many researchers working on the concept of value grid. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to exemplify the value grid model in airline industry with a case study of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and to illustrate its application, the provision of airline industry and content is explored to identify potential strategic implications for Scandinavian Airlines (SAS).

Abstract:

The 1990s were one of the most profitable periods for European airline companies, mainly because of development of world economy and increasing globalisation trends. However, towards the end of the decade, a global economic downturn, high oil prices and new forms of competition turned the industry towards troubled times. The European air-travel industry had to face and accept the new airline business concept, called low-cost or no-frill airlines. In these conditions, traditional airlines had to rethink their strategies and question the old business model. As a response to the competition, European traditional full-service airlines formed alliances or networks to expand the route network and to increase efficiency. Although joint actions of airlines within alliances started to grow, full-service airlines continued to report losses in the weak business environment, in which the low-cost airlines were growing. This thesis aims at identifying the strategic decisions the European traditional airlines have made during the recent downturn in the industry and how the case companies perceive customer value in the alliance they are members of. In order to conduct this study, the authors have chosen two airline companies from two large European alliances. Interviews have been used as a main information source. Interviews were conducted with managers of companies, which at the same time were representatives of companies in the respective alliances. The secondary material such as previous interviews, annual reports of companies, recent studies in thefield, were used as complementary data. Findings and analysis at the end are introduced in response to general market situation, and as a company - alliance information.

Abstract:

In the wake of September 11, 2001 events, most western airlines find themselves in financial difficulties. In their struggle to stay in the sky, many airlines look for pro-active tools and fitting strategies. The primary focus of this thesis is to discuss the unique characters of the airline business, particularly, within the context of US bankruptcy reorganization law (Chapter 11). After identifying primary competing interests in this perspective, the hypothesis explored is that Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization provides a forum that may uniquely address any of the specific needs of the different key players, if invoked strategically. The corporate strategy of "facilitated survival" as provided for within the context of US bankruptcy law is definitely worthwhile for the airline industry to take note of.

Abstract:

The oldest board is An-12 UR-11819 of 1966, the youngest is An-140 UR14005 of 2003 . Excluding the An-12, the average age of Motor Sich aircraft that can be used to carry passengers is 34,16 years. Possible errors: the age of the aircraft was determined by the following formula: 2016 (the year of manufacture of the aircraft indicated in the register). For example: 2016-1997 = 19 years old. Minor errors are possible due to the fact that the register does not indicate the month of aircraft production. In this regard, the board, released in January 2015, is estimated to be 1 year old.
The average age of the aircraft fleet of Ukrainian airlines is approaching 19 years and is currently 18,46 years old. The data were obtained by analyzing information from the register of Ukrainian civil aircraft on 94 aircraft of 12 Ukrainian airlines.The youngest aircraft with Ukrainian registration is 2 months old (Boeing 737-800 UR - PSR UIA - July 2016),the oldest is 50 years old (An-12B UR-11819 Motor Sich 1966).

Nowadays we cannot imagine our life without air transportations. Transportation plays a huge role not only in everyday life, but also in the formation of the economy and gross domestic product both domestically and internationally. Air transportation is the carriage of passengers, mail, load and freight by aircraft and helicopters and all types of air transportations are classified according to the territorial sign, to objects of transportation and to direction of transportation. Air transport entered our life like no other and was able to bring dreams into reality by the safety, comfort and speed. In 2020, aviation faced problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which made adjustments to the plans of all airlines around the world. That is why the main goal of this work is to analyze how the pandemic influenced two of the best airline around the world – Lufthansa. У наш час ми не можемо уявити своє життя без повітряних перевезень. Транспорт відіграє величезну роль не тільки в повсякденному житті, але й у формуванні економіки та валового внутрішнього продукту як на внутрішньому, так і на міжнародному рівні. Повітряні перевезення - це перевезення пасажирів, пошти, вантажу та вантажів літаками та вертольотами, і всі види повітряних перевезень класифікуються за територіальним знаком, за об'єктами перевезення та за напрямом перевезення. Повітряний транспорт увійшов у наше життя як ніхто інший і зміг втілити мрії в життя завдяки безпеці, комфорту та швидкості. У 2020 році авіація зіткнулася з проблемами, пов’язаними з пандемією COVID-19, яка внесла корективи в плани всіх авіакомпаній світу. Ось чому основною метою цієї роботи є проаналізувати, як пандемія вплинула на дві найкращі авіакомпанії світу - Люфтганза.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The emergence of low cost airlines (LCAs) has attracted attention from passengers, competitors, the public, and researchers alike. It seems prodigious that LCAs prosper in today's time of economic downturn and are therefore able to counter the industry's trend. lATA's member airlines have accumulated losses of $31 billion since the beginning of the new millennium. Furthermore, industry icons such as American Airlines and British Airways are fighting for survival while some, namely Air Canada, are on the edge of bankruptcy: a fate which others, like Sabena, have not been able to escape. However, the low cost business model has triumphantly entered the aviation market since the deregulation of the markets in the U.S. in 1978. Low cost airlines like Southwest Airlines and Ryanair not only achieve double-digit profit margins, but also have the highest market capitalisation of the industry. This thesis examines the reason for the success of LCAs in the U.S. and EU. LCAs operate with a much lower cost base than most carriers, especially the major hut-and-spoke (H&S) airlines. The low cost business model aims at increasing both aircraft and staff productivity. It also simplifies the sequence of operations workflow and pricing structure. The thesis gives special consideration to the cost structure of LCAs. The advantages of LCAs lie within the areas such as labour, seat density, and distribution. The second objective of this thesis is to evaluate the development of LCAs and consider the implications for the European transport industry. Whereas American LCAs have operated for more than twenty-five years, the boom of their European counterparts did not commence until the end of the 1990s. Ryanair and easyJet have growth rates of more than thirty percent. The author agrees with the expectations of aviation experts that LCAs will grow until they serve approximately a quarter of the market; hence, the business model of low cost is sustainable. However, only three to four low cost airlines will survive the fierce competition in Europe.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die dringendheid van lae koste lugrederye (LKL'e) het die aandag getrek van passasiers, mededingers, die publiek en navorsers. Dit is vreemd dat LKL'e floreer in die huidige ekonomiese afswaai en gevolglik die tendens van die industrie teenwerk. Lugrederye, wat lid is van "lATA" , het sedert die begin van die eeu verliese gelei van 31 biljoen dollar. Daar teenoor is industriele ikone soos die Amerikaanse en Britse lugdienste (American Airlines and British Airways) besig om te veg vir oorlewing, terwyl ander soos die Kanadese lugdiens (Air Canada) op die grens van bankrotskap is: 'n ramp wat sommige soos Sabena nie kon vryspring nie. Sedert die deregulering van die lugvaart in die VSA in 1978 het die lae koste besigheidsmodel egter die mark triomfanlik betree. Lae koste lugrederye soos SuidWes lugdiens en Ryanair ervaar nie alleen dubbel-syfer wins-marges nie, maar het ook die hoogste mark-kapitalisasie in die industrie. Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek die redes vir die sukses van LKL'e in die V.SA en E.U. LKL'e werk teen 'n baie laer koste basis as die meeste vervoerders, veral die belangrikste "hub-and-spoke" lugrederye. Die doel van die lae koste besigheidsmodel is om beide die vliegtuie en die personeel se produktiwiteit te verhoog. Dit vereenvoudig ook die volgorde van prosedures, werkvloei en prysstruktuur. Hierdie verhandeling gee spesiale aandag aan die kostestruktuur van LKL'e. Die voordele van LKL'e lê op die gebied van arbeid, sitplekplasing en verspreiding. Die tweede doel van hierdie verhandeling is om die ontwikkeling van LKL'e te evalueer en te kyk na die invloed op die Europese vervoer-industrie. Die Amerikaanse LKL'e word reeds vir meer as vyf-en-twintig jaar bedryf terwyl hulle Europese eweknie nie 'n opswaai voor die einde van die 1990's ervaar het nie. Ryanair en easy Jet het 'n groei getoon van meer as 30%. Die argument is dat volgens lugvaartkundiges die LKL'e sal groei totdat dit ongeveer 'n kwart van die mark bedien; daarom sal die lae koste model die beste oorleef. Nogtans sal slegs drie of vier van die lae koste lugrederye egter die hewige kompetisie in Europa oorleef.

Low-cost carrier in recent years in the aviation market set off a wave. Some low-cost airlines even threat the conventional airlines in the market, such as Southwest Airlines in the United States, Air Asia in Malaysia. On the other hand, some low-cost carriers went bankruptcy due to poor management, such as Zoom Airlines in Canada, and Oasis Hong Kong Airlines. A natural question arises: which type of business model, low-cost carrier, conventional carrier or chartered carrier, should airline operations adopt, low-cost carrier? This study applies Porter's (1990) ``Diamond`` analysis, together with SWOT analysis, to the aforementioned question. The research identifies the corresponding competitive conditions and strategies for each business model. This gives important implications for the aviation business in Taiwan.
