Course Calendar 8. Events 29 January 2014 Welcome to 2014! Did you know that on 1 January 2014 we celebrated the 100th year of commercial aviation? It impresses me that many remarkable changes have since taken place in our industry when you think that in 1914 commercial aviation connected only two cities! Today that number has grown to 40,000 cities with airports being at the center of the vital air transport connection. Additionally, this year’s Chinese New Year, which will be celebrated in a few days, celebrates the Year of the Horse. In Chinese mythology the Horse is a symbol of traveling, competition and victory. How timely it is that these three words tie into what we do every day at our airports. Upon further reflection I see it this way - we connect people around the world to communities and bring goods to markets, we compete to enable the growth of the communities we serve and are victorious every time we nurture and develop talent through training, contributing to the overall success of the airport industry. To highlight our mission of addressing the educational needs of ACI members and World Business Partners we felt it fitting to develop a new tagline for ACI Global Training, which is “Better Education, Better Professionals, Better Airports”.

  • 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.
