  • 669419-1 EFFICIENCY of AIRLINES in INDIA ABSTRACT This Paper Measures the Technical Efficiency of Various Airlines Operating In
    Natarajan and Jain Efficiency of Airlines in India EFFICIENCY OF AIRLINES IN INDIA Ramachandran Natarajan, College of Business, Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville TN, 38505, U.S.A. E-Mail: [email protected] , Tel: 931-372-3001 and Ravi Kumar Jain, Icfai Business School, IFHE University, Hyderabad-501203 (AP) India. E-Mail: [email protected] , Mobile: 91+94405-71846 ABSTRACT This paper measures the technical efficiency of various airlines operating in India over a ten-year period, 2001-2010. For this, the Input Efficiency Profiling model of DEA along with the standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to gain additional insights. The study period is divided into two sub-periods, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, to assess if there is any impact on the efficiency of airlines due to the significant entry of private operators. The study includes all airlines, private and publicly owned, both budget and full service, operating in the country offering scheduled services on domestic and international routes. While several studies on efficiency of airlines have been conducted globally, a research gap exists as to similar studies concerning airlines in India. This paper addresses that gap and thus contributes to the literature. Key Words: Airlines in India, DEA analysis, Input efficiency profiling, Productivity analysis, Technical efficiency. Introduction The civil aviation industry in India has come a long way since the Air Corporation Act was repealed in the year 1994 allowing private players to operate in scheduled services category. Several private players showed interest and were granted the status of scheduled carriers in the year 1995. However, many of those private airlines soon shut down.

  • Reason Behind Kingfisher Airline's Failure: “An Eye Opening Case Study
    REASON BEHIND KINGFISHER AIRLINE’S FAILURE: “AN EYE OPENING CASE STUDY REVEALING THREE KEY WORDS FOR AVIATION INDUSTRY SUCCESS: COSTS, COSTS, COSTS” * JAYANT SRIVASTAVA (Asst. Professor, Trinity Business School, Murad Nagar, Ghaziabad) ** ASAD ALI & AKANSHA TIWARI (Students PGDM, Trinity Business School) ABSTRACT: Our research paper try to throw lights on some major reasons which were somehow responsible for the current crisis going inside the kingfisher Airlines which can be realized by the press statement from KFA, on 12 March 2012, highlights the challenges: “The flight loads have reduced because of our limited distribution ability caused by IATA suspension. We are therefore combining some of our flights. Also, some of the flights are being cancelled as a result of employee agitation on account of delayed salaries. This situation has arisen as a consequence of our bank accounts having been frozen by the tax authorities. We are making all possible efforts to remedy this temporary situation.” RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The key objective of this research study is to investigate the reasons behind the failure of the Kingfisher airline in the year 2012. To investigate the government policies and the various steps taken to fix the current crisis. To investigate the reasons due to which the whole Aviation Industry is suffering from higher operating losses. What went so terribly wrong with Kingfisher when rival Jet Airways has comparatively much higher debt? INTRODUCTION: Global aviation industry is passing through challenging times due to unprecedented fuel price hike during the last 4 years, turbulent financial markets and economic recession. Vijay Malaya’s dream bird, Kingfisher Airlines - popularly known as The King of Good Times - is witnessing its worst phase.
