  • How Do Airlines Perceive That Strategic Alliances Affect Their Individual Branding?
    Journal of Air Transportation Vol. 11, No. 2 -2006 HOW DO AIRLINES PERCEIVE THAT STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AFFECT THEIR INDIVIDUAL BRANDING? Konstantinos Kalligiannis Cranfield University Bedford, United Kingdom Kostas Iatrou Hellenic Aviation Society Athens, Greece Keith Mason Cranfield University Bedford, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Much research has been carried out to evaluate the impact of strategic alliance membership on the performance of airlines. However it would be of interest to identify how airlines perceive this impact in terms of branding by each of the three global alliance groupings. It is the purpose of this paper to gather the opinion of airlines, belonging to the three strategic alliance groups, on the impact that the strategic alliance brands have had on their individual brands and how do they perceive that this impact will change in the future. To achieve this, a comprehensive survey of the alliance management and marketing departments of airlines participating in the three global strategic alliances was required. The results from this survey give an indication whether the strategic airline alliances, which are often referred to as marketing agreements, enhance, damage or have no impact on the individual airline brands. Konstantinos Kalligiannis is a Ph.D. candidate at Cranfield University (on Airline Branding inconsistencies within the Airline Alliances) and holds a M.Sc. in Airport Planning and Management from Loughborough University, a M.Sc. in Air Transport Management from Cranfield University and a B.A. in Business Administration from Luton University. Konstantinos is also working as an aviation consultant and airport planner. His key areas of expertise include air traffic forecasts, airport planning, feasibility studies and business plans for start up airlines.

  • Aircraft Tracking: What Is Currently Available?
    Aircraft Tracking: What is currently available? Andrew Burton, 31 Dec 2014 With the third major commercial airline crash of 2014 where the aircraft could not be located for 48 hours or more, there is a growing discussion around the issue of real-time flight following of aircraft. There is a lot of conjecture from armchair experts about what could be done, and what is currently available, and why it isn’t being widely used. Apex Flight Operations and its predecessors have been involved in aircraft tracking since 2003, and we are uniquely positioned as both a hardware manufacturer and a flight tracking data accumulator to shed some light on what is currently available in the market. Firstly, there are three major types of aircraft tracking: traditional radar-based, ADS-B/ACARS and dedicated flight following – the majority of recent discussion around aircraft tracking has omitted this last type. There are also several new systems or planned improvements to existing systems that may bring increased oversight in the future. Traditional Radar-Based Tracking This has been the predominant means of tracking aircraft in real time globally until the advent of ADS-B, and remains the only means of flight following in areas with no or limited ADS-B coverage. It has major shortfalls in that tracking is only available when the aircraft is in range of the radar – the rest of the time the aircraft is estimated to be at a certain location based on expected speed on a planned flight path. It is now generally accepted that a better alternative needs to be urgently found.
