  • Pakistan Aviation Management By
    1 Ph.D. Thesis COST EFFECTIVE LOW COST CARRIER (LCC) PAKISTAN AVIATION MANAGEMENT BY UNIFIED AIRCRAFT POLICY Dewan Abdullah Farooqui Department of Business Administration, Research Scholar, Greenwich University Karachi Contact: [email protected] Mobile: +92300-8225651 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Hiro Takahashi at Greenwich University 2 Abstract The study conducted for this thesis analyzes the aviation industry from the global perspective in general and from the Pakistan perspective in particular. The initial part of the research comprises of the in-depth study and the historical analysis of the global aviation scenario i.e. how the aviation industry has become a major and fastest source of transportation globally since the inception of regular air services in the earlier 20th century till to-date. Later part of this research focuses on the cost effective Low Cost Carrier (LCC) aviation model in Pakistan. To achieve the cost saving management, unified aircraft operation policy was proposed. To select right aircraft for Pakistan’s domestic and regional markets, multiple evaluation factors were considered for better matching of physical requirements. The unified aircraft fleet is a biggest factor to reduce the total operating cost. Moreover, the research on cost effective management by employing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) LCC based aviation business in Pakistan was also undertaken. An elaborated analysis of the operations and functioning of ERP in LCCs’ different business divisions with real-life analysis was conducted. It was concluded that ERP modified for unified aircraft policy will give the significant improvements of the value of operation compared to the Traditional Management, General ERP, and combination of both of them.

THE JOURNAL OF AIR LAW AND COMMERCE Volume 12 JULY, 1941 Number 3 HISTORY OF AIR EXPRESS By JOHN H. FREDERICK AND ARTHUR D. LEWISt One of the first experiments in the transportation of property by air in the United States occurred in the winter of 1919, when the American Railway Express Company, in testing the possibility of transportation of express on scheduled flights, loaded a four-engined Handley-Page bomber with 1,100 pounds of express for a flight from Chicago to New York. A series of accidents, the last one near Cleveland, resulting in loss of a wing caused the flight to be canceled and the goods to be sent the rest of the way by rail.' From that time until 1926 air express activities were carried on irregularly by various fixed base operators.

Airlines lease or own their aircraft with which to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for mutual benefit. Airlines vary from those with a single airplane carrying mail or cargo, through full-service international airlines operating many hundreds of airplanes. Airline services can be categorized as being intercontinental, WWW.BSSVE.INintercontinental, or domestic and may be operated as scheduled services or charters. www.bsscommunitycollege.in www.bssnewgeneration.in www.bsslifeskillscollege.in 2 www.onlineeducation.bharatsevaksamaj.net www.bssskillmission.in Key Points: 1. The First Airlines DELAG, Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft (German: acronym for "German Airship Transport Corporation") was the world's first airline. It was founded on November 16, 1909 with government assistance, and operated airships manufactured by Zeppelin Corporation. Its headquarters were in Frankfurt. (Note: Americans, such as Rufus Porter and Frederick Marriott, attempted to start airlines in the mid-19th century, focusing on the New York-California route. Those attempts foundered due to such mishaps as the aircraft catching fire and the aircraft being ripped apart by spectators.) The five oldest non-dirigible airlines that still exist are Australia's Qantas, Netherland's KLM, Colombia's Avianca, Czech Republic's Czech Airlines and Mexico's Mexicana.
