In the following paragraphs, I will be examining the main reasons led to the failure of Sliverjet.
The segmentation of airlines passengers’ market based on the use of several variables (demographic, geographic, lifestyle...etc). Some of the variables used are, what is the purpose of passenger journey, how far their destination is, the duration of the journey and their country or culture of origin. Each of these variables has its importance in the aviation marketing.
The airlines generically used undifferentiated strategy; they treat all customers as the same with firms not making any specific effort to satisfy particular groups. I believe that if the airline companies want to succeed, they should target economy and business passengers at the same time, as the big companies do, they operate a mixture of both offered on most of their flights, for example easy jet, Virgin Blue and jet blue each started with specialist focus on the economy segment, but are now devoting increasing proportion of their planes to business-class seats
