  • Delivering Excellent Service Quality in Low Cost Aviation
    MASTER THESIS IMM – International Marketing & Management DELIVERING EXCELLENT SERVICE QUALITY IN LOW COST AVIATION A Process Perspective on the Passenger Market in Copenhagen Airport December 2009 Rasmus Lindstrøm Jensen Advisor: Jesper Clement COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL Preface The following thesis is composed on the basis of empirical data collected at Norwegian, Cimber Sterling and six individual airline passengers. I would like to thank Lone Koch (Vice President of Product Management, Cimber Sterling ) and Johan Bisgaard Larsen (Marketing Manager, Norwegian - CPH ) for the kindness and dedication. They contributed with precious information in devising the problem statement and further made the execution of the questionnaire survey possible. Further, I would like to thank Adam Høyer ( Co+Hoegh ), Christoffer Casparij ( Væksthus Sjælland ), Lene Susgaard Henriksen ( Novo Nordisk ), Morten Kaaber ( Muuto New Nordic ), Ditte Clément ( CBS ) and Line Lundø ( CBS ) for contributing with valuable information in the focus group interview. Finally, I would like to thank my advisor Jesper Clement for being a committed and pleasant advisor and sparring partner throughout the entire process. Since the number of pages in thesis exceeds 80 pages a calculation of the magnitude has been made to keep the record straight. The calculation are based on the assumption that one normal page corresponds to 2275 characters and one figure corresponds to 800 characters. Thus the actual number of pages is calculated; (169.675 + (800*16)/2275 = 80,2 pages). Consequently, the thesis keeps within the specified boundaries. Copenhagen, December 2009 Rasmus Lindstrøm Jensen Executive Summary This thesis explores the concept of service quality and customer satisfaction with low cost airlines in Copenhagen Airport.

Abstract Keywords: 2 1. Introduction Air traffic is one of the factors influencing and, at the same time, showing the position of a city in the world-city hierarchy. There is a positive correlation between higher volumes of air passenger and cargo flows, urban growth and the position in the urban hierarchy of the knowledge economy (Goetz, 1992; Rodrigue, 2004; Taylor, 2004; Derudder and Witlox, 2005, 2008; Bel and Fageda, 2008). In relation to the configuration of mega-city regions, Hall (2009) remarks that it is key to understand how information moves in order to achieve face-to-face communication and, over long distances, it will continue to move by air, through the big international airports (Shin and Timberlake, 2000). This paper deals with the allocation of seat capacity among all EU and US airports over a period of 20 years.

  • Demand Elasticity Im Profitability on Zagreb-Dubrovnik Airline Route
    DEMAND ELASTICITY IM PROFITABILITY ON ZAGREB-DUBROVNIK AIRLINE ROUTE Faculty of Economics and Business - Zagreb, Trg J.F. Kennedya 6, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Tomislav HERCEG Faculty of Economics and Business - Zagreb, Trg J.F. Kennedya 6, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Abstract Croatia Airlines, a national air carrier in Croatia, faces profitability issues for years. It partly relies on Government subsidies for a minimum daily number of flights between the capital and the other Croatian cities. Since Zagreb and Dubrovnik are the most distant and without fast road route (there is no highway in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county), the number of passengers is significant, as well as the turnover. This paper analyses how revenue management on the Zagreb-Dubrovnik-Zagreb air route could impr profitability. The revenue management analysis is based on the determination of demand function dynamics on the mentioned route. Data required for obtaining this research was taken from Croatia Airlines database, but modified using th preserve corporate secret. Profit management analysis on the above mentioned route is based on the analysis of a revenue function. It is because, due to the agreement Croatia Airlines has with Croatian Government, a fixed number of daily flights to Dubrovnik and back fixes the cost component of a profit function. Therefore only revenue function has a dynamics to be analysed, which in turn depends on demand function. Demand function is estimated as a function where the number of daily passengers (quantity, dependant variable) is affected by a corresponding daily average ticket price, and a moving average of a temperature (10 days average) as a deseasoning tool in the time period 2013-2018.

  • An Assessment of Key Success Factors in the South African Low Cost Airline Industry
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Johannesburg Institutional Repository An assessment of key success factors in the South African low cost airline industry Authors Davids S. (University of Johannesburg) Mapinga T. (University of Johannesburg) Mtimkulu Z. (University of Johannesburg) Dhliwayo S. (University of Johannesburg) Contact author Dhliwayo Department of Business Management Johannesburg Business School University of Johannesburg. P.O. Box 524, Auckland Park, 2006 Johannesburg. South Africa Phone: 027 11 559 1698 Abstract Deregulation of the South African Low Cost Airline lowered entry barriers which resulted in 11 airlines entering the market between 1990 and 2018 but only 6 are still operating. Using a literature and qualitative method, the study found that there are key success factors that actors in the industry have to adhere to enhance their survival. These include having support from a full service parent airline, modern fleet and tapping into the market of those who normally would not fly, among many others. The key success factors seem to have been applied by those that succeeded in the industry. BACKGROUND The deregulation of the South African airline industry in 1990, created opportunities for low cost airlines to emerge and compete within the industry (Paelo & Vilikazi 2016). According to the South African Low Cost Airline Industry study carried out by Mhlanga (2017) deregulation as “an act or process of eliminating regulations and restrictions from a given industry, or the reduction or removal of centralised power in a particular industry usually enacted to create more competition within the industry”.
