  • 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.

    Competitive Strategies and Entry Strategies of Low Cost Airline Incumbent 1time Airline A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Business Administration of Rhodes University by Diane Potgieter January 2007 Abstract This dissertation reports on the factors that contributed to the successful entry strategy of 1time Airline, a low cost carrier, into the South African airline industry as well as its competitive strategies within this context. Research interviews were conducted in November 2005 and research material gathered until end January 2006. Key issues include an evaluation of 1time's business model in relation to other low cost entrants as well as against material sourced through interviews with 1time Airline management, employees and consumers of the airline's product. Porter's Generic Strategies and Five Forces model are used as a framework in evaluating the airline. It is found that Nohria, Joyce and Robertson's "4+2 Formula" is effectively implemented at the airline, but that further implementation of Game Theory in terms of alliances should be investigated for continued success and sustainability.

  • 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.

  • COMPETITION TRIBUNAL REPUBLIC of SOUTH AFRICA Case No: 77/LM/Oct02
    COMPETITION TRIBUNAL REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Case No: 77/LM/Oct02 In the large merger between: South African Airways (Pty) Ltd and Air Chefs (Pty) Ltd _______________________________________________________________________ Reasons _______________________________________________________________________ Approval The Competition Tribunal issued a Merger Clearance Certificate on 25 October 2002 approving the merger without conditions. The reasons are set out below. The merger The transaction South African Airways (Pty) Ltd (ªSAAº) is buying all the remaining shares in Air Chefs (Pty) Ltd. This is a vertical merger where the customer, SAA, is acquiring an upstream service provider, Air Chefs. The parties to the transaction Transnet Ltd, a public company of which the South African Government is the sole shareholder, controls SAA. The primary target firm is Air Chefs (Pty) Ltd., a joint venture established between Transnet Ltd (holding 51% of the issued share capital) and Fedics Strategic Investments (Pty) Ltd (holding the remaining 49%). An evergreen management agreement vested control of Air Chefs with Fedics. Rational for the transaction SAA is concerned that it was paying too much for the catering services supplied by Air Chefs due to the Evergreen Management agreement, which contains a cost-plus 250% mechanism. It was also not satisfied with the service levels, that Air Chefs supplied. The Cabinet sub-committee on Restructuring recommended that the most viable restructuring option for SAA would be the acquisition of Air Chefs by SAA. Evaluating the merger Relevant market SAA operates in the airline passenger services market, with a generally limited accompanying freight and cargo service. SAA is the largest domestic airline in the country. Air Chefs operates in a market upstream from that of SAA, providing in-flight catering services to domestic, regional and international airlines, which entails, inter alia, the provision of meals, loading services, stock storage, chilling facilities and sanitation.
