  • Aviation Rankings' Misjudgment: Inspiration of Egypt Air and Cairo International Airport Cases
    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City, Vol. 4, Issue (2/1), December, 2020 Aviation Rankings' Misjudgment: Inspiration of Egypt Air and Cairo International Airport Cases 1Farouk Abdelnabi Hassanein Attaalla 1Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University Abstract This study aims to make a comprehensive assessment of the three most popular aviation rankings; Skytrax, AirHelp and TripAdvisor from a critical perspective supported by a global field study conducted in the same methodology as these three rankings have been done. This study is based on the descriptive statistics to analyze field data gathered about EgyptAir and other airlines, Cairo International Airport and other airports and comparing these results with what is published in these three rankings in 2018. The current study reveals that the results of these three global rankings are characterized by shortcomings and lack of value and unfairness. Finally, the study suggests a model for fairness and equity in the rankings of airlines and airports. Keywords: Air Rankings, Egypt Air, Cairo International Airport, Equity. 1- Introduction Through scanning the international airlines and airports rankings for the recent five years from 2013 to 2018, it is found that no understandable and embarrassing absence for Egypt Air (MS) and Cairo International Airport (CAI). However, Arabic airlines and Airports such as Qatar Airways, Emirates Airways, Oman Air, Etihad Airways, Saudia Airlines, Royal Jordanian and Air Maroc, Hamad International Airport and Queen Alia International Airport have occupied different ranks through these years. Their ranks may be one of the top 10 airline and airport positions, while others occupy one of the top 100 airlines and airports in the world.

  • Fact Finding Airports Southern Africa
    2015 FACT FINDING SOUTHERN AFRICA Advancing your Aerospace and Airport Business FACT FINDING SOUTHERN AFRICA SUMMARY GENERAL Africa is home to seven of the world’s top 10 growing economies in 2015. According to UN estimates, the region’s GDP is expected to grow 30 percent in the next five years. And in the next 35 years, the continent will account for more than half of the world’s population growth. It is obvious that the potential in Africa is substantial. However, African economies are still to unlock their potential. The aviation sector in Africa faces restrictive air traffic regimes preventing the continent from using major economic benefits. Aviation is vital for the progress in Africa. It provides 6,9 million jobs and US$ 80 million in GDP with huge potential to increase. Many African governments have therefore, made infrastructure developments in general and airport related investments in particular as one of their priorities to facilitate future growth for their respective country and continent as a whole. Investment is underway across a number of African airports, as the region works to provide the necessary infrastructure to support the continent’s growth ambitions. South Africa is home to most of the airports handling 1+ million passengers in Southern Africa. According to international data 4 out of 8 of those airports are within South African Territory.

  • Regional Airports Make Significant Contribution to South Africa Economy
    REGIONAL AIRPORTS MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO SOUTH AFRICA ECONOMY Kimberley, 26 September 2018 – Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) regional airports in Kimberley, Upington, George, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and East London are making a significant impact on the South African economy in the form of job creation, contributions to gross domestic product (GDP), tax revenues and investment into infrastructure development. In the last financial year (FY2017), ACSA and its nine South African airports contributed R9.5 billion towards GDP (0.3% of national GDP), supported 14,950 jobs (direct and indirect) and R2.8 billion of income to workers in South Africa. Said Senzeni Ndebele, Airports Company South Africa’s corporate affairs senior manager: “Airports have always had a significant role to play in enabling regional economic growth. They permit connections between cities, which catalyses economic activities through amenities and needs for non- residential passengers in transit, as well as supporting aviation-related services, co-located commercial developments and the provision of infrastructure.” Kimberley Airport has a direct, indirect and induced impact on the growth of the economy in the regional sector. In 2017 Kimberley Airport contributed 38 million rands towards GDP, which amounted to a 0.1% contribution to provincial GDP. The airport has also created 127 jobs in the region with a total income contribution of 23 million rands for employees in the regional sector. Airports Company South Africa is exploring regional partnerships that will result in route expansions and additional route options at each of its six regional airports, which in addition to Kimberley Airport include Upington International Airport, George Airport, Bram Fischer International Airport, Port Elizabeth International Airport and East London Airport.

  • Barriers to Entry for Low Cost Carriers in the South African Airline Industry
    Working Paper 8/2016 Barriers to entry for low cost carriers in the South African airline industry: Competitive dynamics and the entry, expansion and exit of 1Time Airline Anthea Paelo and Thando Vilakazi [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the barriers to entry and expansion of competitor airlines in South Africa. The exit of 1Time from the market as well as the experience of FlySafair, a recent entrant, are used to draw lessons about competitive conditions and constraints that new airlines face in the market. The assessment shows that while the exogenous barriers to entry are not prohibitively high in South Africa (partly evidenced by the number of entrants), a history of repeated anti-competitive conduct by the national carrier, South Africa Airways, has contributed to these challenges. The analysis of price data covering 2014 and 2015 and information drawn from detailed firm-level interviews demonstrates the positive effects of entry in the South African market, including through reducing prices and increasing frequencies to smaller routes which has benefits for local economies. There is preliminary evidence that the entry of LCCs has also contributed to increased passenger volumes, although there are limitations in the data which is available to assess this further.
