La base de trabajo ha sido el análisis de la prensa especializada, a partir de la cual se han identificado los casos innovadores. Gracias al análisis de su origen (tecnológico, geo- político, aero-político, corporativo, de producto y en la infraestructura) y a su contextualización, hemos podido trazar la historia de la aviación comercial desde su origen en 1919 hasta nuestros días. Palabras clave: Historia contemporánea, Aviación comercial, Política aérea, Relaciones internacionales, Turismo, Innovación, Aerolíneas, Aeropuertos Abstract This doctoral thesis analyses the contribution of commercial aviation to the contemporary history, particularly in the field of external relations, international economy and mass tourism. We have identified all innovations with a structural impact on the industry through specialised press, considering the changes on technology, geopolitics, aeropolitics, business models, product and services, and infrastructure. This methodology has allowed us to write the history of the commercial aviation since its origin in 1919.

  • Ford Trimotor
    Ford Trimotor The Ford Trimotor (also called the “Tri-Motor”, and The Ford Trimotor using all-metal construction was not a nicknamed “The Tin Goose”) was an American three- revolutionary concept, but it was certainly more advanced engined transport aircraft. Production started in 1925 by than the standard construction techniques of the 1920s. the companies of Henry Ford and until June 7, 1933. A The aircraft resembled the Fokker F.VII Trimotor (ex- total of 199 Ford Trimotors were made.[1] It was designed cept for being all-metal which Henry Ford to claimed for the civil aviation market, but also saw service with made it “the safest airliner around”).[3] Its fuselage and military units. The Ford Trimotor was sold around the wings followed a design pioneered by Junkers[4] during world. World War I with the Junkers J.I and used postwar in a series of airliners starting with the Junkers F.13 low- wing monoplane of 1920 of which a number were ex- 1 Design and development ported to the US, the Junkers K 16 high-wing airliner of 1921, and the Junkers G 24 trimotor of 1924. All of these were constructed of aluminum alloy, which was corrugated for added stiffness, although the resulting drag reduced its overall performance.[5] So similar were the designs that Junkers sued and won when Ford attempted to export an aircraft to Europe.[6] In 1930, Ford counter- sued in Prague, and despite the possibility of anti-German sentiment, was decisively defeated a second time, with the court finding that Ford had infringed upon Junkers’ patents.[6] Although designed primarily for passenger use, the Tri- motor could be easily adapted for hauling cargo, since its seats in the fuselage could be removed.

  • 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.
