From 2009 to 2013, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of air cargo throughput and passengers was 12.5% and 18.4%, respectively. According to IATA, in 2014, Vietnam should become the world’s third-fastest growing market for international passengers and freight and the second-fastest growing market for domestic passengers. The market share of domestic airline corporations in terms of cargo throughput and passengers in 2013 was 28.6% and 47.0%, respectively. There are four airline corporations: Vietnam Airlines Corporation (Vietnam Airlines), Jetstar Pacific Airlines, Vietnam Air Service Company (VASCO) and Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company, of which, Vietnam Airlines – the national flag carrier – is the market leader with the broadest air routes. In terms of cargo terminal, the most active one is Tan Son Nhat Airport with two cargo terminals: Tan Son Nhat Cargo Services (TCS) – a joint venture of Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airport Terminal Services Ltd. and Southern Airports Services Company Ltd. and Saigon Cargo Service Corporation (SCSC) – joint venture of Gemadept Corporation (GMD – HSX), Southern Airport Corporation, Vietnamese Military and Asia Commercial Bank. In Noi Bai Airport, the terminal is also owned by Vietnam Airlines. According to a survey the World Bank conducted with beneficial cargo owners and logistics services providers, the stated-owned terminals are perceived to be inefficient and costly. Additionally, the lack of skillful air cargo operators and the limitations on private enterprises to operate in the air freight market have made the Vietnamese market less attractive than its peer countries.

Long distance between two main cities: Hanoi and HCMC (the two main economic centers of Vietnam) are separated by 1,760km, meanwhile, the less developed road and rail infrastructure have pushed up demand for airlines. www.VPBS.com.vn Page | 3 Geographic advantages: Vietnam has many beautiful places, which encourage tourism and attracts a huge number of international tourists. Cheap labor cost and open investment policy: these are among the factors that attract investment from multinational firms such as Intel, Samsung, Honda, etc. Master plan Akin to the ports planning process, there is a government master plan for the development of the aviation industry. The Decision No. 21/QD-TTg, dated January 8, 2009, approved the master plan for aviation transportation to 2020 with an orientation to 2030 with some of the main points as follows: CAGR air cargo throughput: targets to achieve 16% from 2010 to 2015; 18% from 2015 to 2020 and 14% toward 2030. Airstrips: develop cargo fleets for routes to Europe, Japan, America and China before 2015 and develop Chu Lai Airport as an international goods transshipment port during 2010 to 2020. Airports: invest in five new airports and classify them into three regions: northern region (nine airports), central region (seven airports) and southern region (ten airports). Aviation industry: establish joint venture or 100% foreign investors to invest in manufacturing aircraft components. Investment capital: the investment

  • Chapter 2: Theory Difference Consumer Related Research
    1 CHAPTER 2: THEORY DIFFERENCE CONSUMER RELATED RESEARCH Theory difference consumer related research industrial tourism involves visits by tourists to operational industrial sites where the core activity of the site is non-tourism oriented. Although industrial tourism exists around the world, and is expanding rapidly, earlier terms used to describe the industrial tourism phenomenon reflect a narrow focus on particular sectors, such as farm tourism or factory tourism, or an impression of marginality, such as sideline tourism. This chapter proposes an integrated conceptualization of industrial tourism to embrace the production of virtually all goods and or services, and indicates the ramifications for the management of industrial tourism attractions of the concurrent management of non-tourism enterprises. Consumer theory shows how individuals make choices given their income and the prices of goods and services and helps us to understand how individuals’ tastes and income consumers can choose different bundles of goods and services. Logically, they will choose the bundle that gives them the greatest benefit. As a simplified example, consider a consumer and must choose how to allocate it between. Theory difference consumer Related research is difficult to answer for several reasons. People are not always rational; sometimes they are indifferent to the choices available; some decisions are particularly difficult to make because consumers aren’t familiar with the products or the decision has an emotional component. Consumer theory therefore makes several assumptions to simplify the process of discerning what consumers will choose. For example, it assumes that understands his preferences for decide how much of each he wants to purchase.

VietJet Air (VJ) Market share as of September 1, 2013: (Image credit: CAPA) http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/vietjet-overtakes-jetstar-pacific-as-largest-vietnamese-low-cost-carrier-84614) • Market dominated by Vietnam Airlines Corporation and VietJet Aviation JSC • Air Mekong ceased operations in 2013, unlikely to ever resume operations Vietnam Airlines VN’s growth plan for 2015 is unrealistic and unattainable. It has already fallen short of its fleet goals for 2013 and will, at most, add another 10 A321s to its fleet by 2015. If VN expects the kind of growth outlined in its 2011 plan, they will need to lease 100% of their aircraft. According to their plan, VJ will have about the same number of narrowbody aircraft as VN by the end of the decade. And better (or worse) yet, VietJet plenty of eager backers willing to finance its purchase of up to 100 new A320s with deliveries starting next year. Almost all new narrowbody and widebody aircraft delivery slots are full until at least after 2017. VN will simply not be able to grow at its planned rate without finding early delivery positions or leasing new aircraft. Up until last week, VN had a chance to negotiate an order for somewhat preferable delivery slots for delivery before 2020. Now, after Dubai, VN has few options but to find leased aircraft to grow its fleet until the end of the decade.

  • Transportation
    VIETNAM 1 TRANSPORTATION Travelling to and in Vietnam is quite convenient. There are several means of transport to choose from depending on the budget and time. AIR If you intend to visit only a few cities in Vietnam and do not want to spend too much time on trasporting between different destinations, flying is the most convenient way to travel. Vietnam Airlines operates on domestic routes and flies to places like Phu Quoc Island and Rach Gia that are difficult to reach by other means. Domestic air travel is time saving especially for long distance. There are 16 domestic airports in Vietnam servicing air passengers. They are located in: Hai Phong (Cat Bi Airport) Dien Bien (Dien Bien Phu Airport) Thanh Hoa (Tho Xuan Airport) Nghe An (Vinh Airport) Quang Binh (Dong Hoi Airport) Hue (Phu Bai Airport) Quang Nam (Chu Lai Airport) Binh Dinh (Phu Cat Airport) Phu Yen (Tuy Hoa Airport) Daklak (Buon Me Thuot Airport) Lam Dong(Lien Khuong Airport) Gia Lai (Pleiku Airport) Vung Tau (Con Dao Airport) Can Tho (Can Tho Airport) Kien Giang (Rach Gia Airport) Ca Mau (Ca Mau Airport). There are direct flights on Vietnam Airlines to Hue, Danang, Dalat, Nha Trang, Dien Bien Phu, Phu Quoc, Quy Nhon, Pleiku and Saigon. To connect the two major cities like Hanoi and Saigon, Vietnam Airlines run more than 20 flights per day. There are five international airports welcoming tourists to Vietnam. These are Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Danang International Airport in Danang, Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Saigon, Cam Ranh International Airport in Khanh Hoa and Phu Quoc International Airport in Kien Giang.
