Finance, operations, accounting, and other business functions will not really matter if there is not sufficient demand for goods and services so the company can make a profit” (Kotler & Keller, 2007).

Customers are seeking better deals in a sinking world economy while also expecting decent customer services and at least a modicum of comfort. It also appears that many of the airlines competitors have found a way…

Yet in July 2008, Southwest reported record quarterly revenues, its 69th consecutive quarter of profitability, rising passenger traffic on its flights, and a record load factor.”5 With a brilliant strategy of ‘low cost/low fare/no frills’ Rollin King, along with Herb Kelleher, launched the most surprising success story in airline history.

This aimed to appeal to the business end of the travel market, thus emerging as a market challenger (with Qantas being the business travel market leader). Instead of purely focusing on getting the customer from A to B for a cheap price, they aimed to increase the customer experience of those choosing to fly premium economy by:…
