Introduction
Infrastructure assets, although very beneficial to society are often marred with high profiled accidents and deaths. Industry segments such as trucking, rail transportation, and ocean shipping have all experienced very high profile and deadly accidents. Although the statistics indicate the many of these activities are safe, occasionally accidents occur that can adverse consequents for not only the company, but the industry overall. The airline industry is not except for this criticism either. The airline industry is particularly fraught with oversight primarily due its importance global economy. The airline not only transports goods around the world but also individuals. These individuals are often helpless in the event of a malfunction or a serios lapse in protocols. As the September 11th, terrorist attacks illustrated, airlines can also be the target of extremist’s groups looking to harm the United States. From a national security perspective, airline also ship mission critical information, goods and….

The major duties of the GCAA include the formation of a general policy for the civil aviation sector and the proposal of relevant laws and regulations, rule regarding landing and departing….

Abstract In the contemporary world, the aviation industry has experienced a great deal of changes and transformations in the legal, ethical and business realm. One of the prevailing contentious issues is the impact of the Brexit in the industry. A declaration has been made that from the start of 2019, the UK will be considered a third country and for that reason EU aviation rules and regulations will stop being applicable in the United Kingdom. This means UK airline carriers will not be given access to air transport agreements between the EU and third countries. Similarly, airline carriers EU will stop having any airline traffic rights to, from and past the UK. It is palpable that there will be considerable trade-off between national autonomy and the accessibility to the single aviation market of the European Union. However, the magnitude of this aspect remains to be seen in the future.

By the turn of the century, though, these low-costs carriers had become profitable or at least had significantly reduced their losses due in large part to concomitant increases by major carriers that were increasing their prices in response to decreasing yields and higher energy prices (Doganis 2001).
By and large, passenger traffic across the board increased significantly prior to September 11, 2001 and all signs indicated it was continue to increase for the foreseeable future. For example, according to Janda, Flouris and Oum (2005), global air passenger traffic increased from 1.573 trillion revenue-passenger-kilometers (RPK) in 1985 to 3.394 trillion in 2000, representing a 116% increase during this decade-and-a-half period, or an average annual compounded growth of 5.26%. Furthermore, between 1985 and 2000, air freight traffic grew at even faster rate than passenger traffic (Janda et al. 2005). These authors also emphasize airlines are directly affected by the larger economy in….

SERVQUAL Method: Airline Industry Use
The objective of this study is to examine use of the SERVQUAL method in the airline industry. This work will examine five articles on use of SERVQUAL.

The work of ozorgi (2007) entitled "Measuring Service Quality in the Airline Using SERVQUAL Model (Case of IAA)" reports that competition in the airline industry is constantly growing and that airline companies should pay close "attention to their competitors." (p.1) ozorgi notes that it is important as well for airlines to "understand their customers." (2007, p.1) The work of Nyeck, Morales, Ladhari, and Pons (2002) entitled "10 Years of Service Quality Measurement: Reviewing the Use of the SERVQUAL Instrument" reports that research on service marketing has traditionally focused primarily on the "analysis of service quality." (p.101) Additionally stated is that there are researchers in this discipline that "emphasize the explanation of the perceived quality by using the SERVQUAL dimensions, reproducing,….

Strategic Management of the United States

Airline Industry after the 9/11/2001 Terrorist Attacks

Airlines in the United States have a long, complicated history in terms of management strategy that includes alterations due to technological advances, bankruptcies, economic downturns, deregulation and even presidential intervention, but none of these forces had the power to both destroy and restructure the industry like the events of September 11, 2001.

The 9/11/01 attacks on the United States fundamentally altered the way the U.S. airline industry operated both publically and internally. One area that suffered significantly from these attacks, and brought about the need for major overhaul within the industry itself was strategic management strategies and practices within the airline industry in its entirety. The 9/11 attacks on America brought about the need for immediate change in these strategies, but the turnover from….

A lower price enables an airline to remain well above the competition.
Economies of scale and scope are vital to the performance of an organization no matter the industry the organization is involved in. An organization can only remain competitive if driven to achieve economies of scale (Bronson & Morgan, 1998). Tactics an organization may adopt to achieve economies of scale and scope will include optimal market coverage, increasing sizes, superior "internal growth" and raised capital (Bronson & Morgan, 1998). Another important consideration for organizations include efficiency. One might define efficiency as "the ratio of inputs to outputs" (Bronson & Morgan, 1998).

Efficiency of an organization may be measured in various ways including by observation through accounting (Bronson & Morgan, 1998). An organization particularly a franchised business location will continually measure efficiency to ensure they are minimizing costs and saving time to help facilitate economies of scale and scope.

Tactics Businesses Use….

It is important that human resources within the airline devise strategies to minimize the possible negative effects that union relations may have on the workforce.
There are several issues that have impacted the airline industry as a whole, and present implications for the human resources challenges discussed thus far. The first of these issues is a drastically changing workforce demographic within the airline industry. In particular the workforce is aging. Establishments in the air transportation industry have a significantly higher proportion of employees in the 45 to 54 and 55 to 64-year-old age ranges than other industries (Wallace & Gonzalez, 2005). Specifically, employees in the 45 to 54-year-old age group comprise approximately 35% of the whole workforce (Wallace & Gonzalez, 2005). On the contrary, workers in the 14 to 24-year-old category comprise only 4% of the workforce (Wallace & Gonzalez, 2005).

This issue presents human resources challenges with regards to employee….

The demand for their services underwent a period of diminishment, because of the strong emotional impact that the events had upon the population living all over the world and especially in the United States of America. Despite various negative forecasts, the airline industry got back on track soon afterwards. Not only did the demand not fall, but it underwent significant increases.
Another element which could affect the functioning of the airline industry in a negative manner is represented by the concerns for the environment. Leaving aside the issue represented by the phonic pollution, aspects such as global warning may become an important concern for the airline industry should the issue gain a high importance on the public and political agendas. So far, however, the issue did not manage to influence people's choices regarding travelling by airplane, regardless of the attempts made in this directions by various politicians. (Pickard, 2006)

How the….

Similarly, this could influence the international airline community. Then, a stable economy is highly dependent upon a stable oil price, which once again is not the case. "The environment will continue to become more competitive as the LCC's continue to become more convenient. Business fares will continue to drop. Leisure fares won't raise much until capacity is generally in line with demand, which won't occur until much of the capacity overhand has been employed either by surviving legacy carriers or LCC."
To the customer, the continuing of this trend will generate no benefits. "In other words, we're stuck with the current system, because it isn't really in any airline's interest to try to change it. As long as no airline makes a dedicated effort to distinguish itself from the pack, all the airlines can stay lean, even at the expense of quality."

Innovation
The airline industry is a service industry, but one where several firms have been able to innovate their service offering. Such innovations have been to create viable low-cost carriers (RyanAir, EasyJet, Air Asia) while other innovations have led to the creation of high-service airlines (Emirates, Qatar, Singapore). In either case the process of innovation has been roughly the same for all of these companies. The first component of the map is searching. All of these companies searched for niches that were either not being served at all (such as price-focused customers in Europe and Asia) or were not being served effectively (passengers traveling on routes between Europe and Asia).

Of the six airlines mentioned above, only Singapore is a legacy carrier. The others have entered their markets in the few couple of decades, and brought with them a number of critical service innovations. After identifying a core market whose needs were….

S. Air hub in Phoenix is nearby the Delta hub in Salt Lake City. Typically, airlines seeking out acquisition targets seek to fill voids in hub locations rather than select airlines with lots of hubs close to their own. For example, critics of the .S. Air offer state that nited would have been a far better suitor for Delta because of the synergies between nited's tran-Pacific routes and international networking and Delta's Atlantic and Latin American routes. And, critics believe that .S. Airlines should have targeted bankrupt Northwest as an acquisition target rather than Delta. Most experts expect nited to make a counter bid for Delta
The need for mergers in the airlines industry is compelling and combing airlines can have many synergies. But, has .S. Airways selected the right company to merge with? The answer appears to be no. Being number one does not necessary guarantee being profitable. There are….

This comes after a period of lowering the interest rates to curtail the post-2001 recession that was particularly detrimental to the economic performance of the airline industry. The rate of interest affects consumer's disposable income, and as consumers find it more expensive to borrow money, they are less likely to have disposable income to expend upon leisure-based trips, thus meaning discount rather than full-price fares further cut into industry profits. The price of air travel, as noted by the U.S. Board of Transportation, has continued to decline for consumers, while the price of fuel and other inputs into the transportation industry has increased for the industry, meaning that the Federal Reserve actions, if interest rates continue to increase, will not help the airline industry.
