    In this case study we will review the new strategic business plan of American Airlines, and how they are responding to changes in the marketplace to compete in the modern era. We will also analyze the advantages of rebranding efforts, the effectiveness of existing practices of the airline and how the airline may operate post merger with US Airways. By some measurements, the merger between American Airlines and US Airways will create the largest company in the world, thus positioning American Airlines to potentially become the most influential and most widely used airline in the history of aviation.

    PERSONAL STATEMENT At the beginning of this project I anticipated a very interesting and challenging title. India is a country close to my heart. Therefore investigating the Indian Aviation industry was of great significance to me, as currently I am a CPL holder with an Instrument Rating, and I aspire to be a pilot for an Indian carrier in the future. This project gave me a personal guide in what to expect working for an Indian airline. The current growth creates the opportunity for a very successful industry. However India is a country where lack of basic development, organisational and political issues presents the biggest challenges. Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed investigating the Indian airline industry and been thrilled to know what potential exists out there, and if the correct talent is utilised and managed well, the future looks bright, although overcoming the regulators and soaring fuel prices remains inescapable hurdles at present.…
