    Before David Neeleman’s non-compete agreement with Southwest Airlines expired, he envisioned the concept of starting a low-fare airline that would combine common sense, innovation, and technology and bring the humanity back into air travel (Gittel & O’Reilly, 2001). In 1998, JetBlue was born. In order for David to fulfill his goal of a “do-it-right” kind of airline, he needed to recruit superior industry veterans who were willing to start from scratch and place an emphasis on employees and customers. Each of these individuals, from the President, General Counsel, CFO, and the HR director, wanted to create an airline that was fun, had integrity, was safe, and cared for their employees, plus had a passion to get it right (Gittel & O’Reilly, 2001).…

    The airline industry is highly cost-driven creating an extremely competitive environment in which to operate. The majority of customers prefer an inexpensive and hassle-free airline experience; for those business customers who previously paid for the extra features, such as first class, the ability to reduce costs has become more important causing them to consider finding lower priced business class seats or flying coach instead. This trend is referenced in Exhibit 1. The airlines which have focused on building their business model to provide a unique or exceptional flight experience in…

    According to a study generated by IBISWorld on the Annual Global Airline industry revenue for 2014, figures were indicated at $745bn with over 9,000 businesses worldwide. From such figures we can infer that global competition in this industry is inevitably high. Such competition is present and can be seen in examples like existing Airline companies such as Etihad and Emirates which offer similar services, packages and prices to its customers. What can be noticed however with the Airline industry is that the threat of new entrants is quite low - this is in large part due to the fact that the Airline business involves a billion dollar investment and high capital (Porter, 2008). It is also a service which although used frequently, in one customer’s life-time; the extent of use may vary depending on many situational factors such as seasonality, business or leisure purposes and so forth. In Australia, the same notion holds in terms of new entrants to the marketplace. Major players in the Australian Airline network include Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar.…

    The colour orange is increasingly becoming synonymous with the firm easyJet as it has become one of the world’s most profitable low-cost airlines (Alamdari and Fagan, 2005). This paper examines the basis of their success and argues firstly, that easyJet from its inception essentially adopted and stayed with the original low-cost model that was pioneered by Southwest airlines in the USA. Moreover, this is a model that has served them well, resulting in sustained business performance and growth over a decade. However, our second point is that with this growth, and increased competition, there are signs of the need for a change. Accordingly, in what follows, we examine in turn: the historical origins of easyJet, emphasizing its values and the influence of the Southwest airlines model; the essential features of its business model; and some indication of its business performance over time.…

    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. With proper management, this mega airline can become the model for contemporary air travel.…
