    AÉRIEN LES DIFFICULTÉS FINANCIÈRES D’AOM - AIR LIBERTÉ : UN ESSAI D’INTERPRÉTATION ÉCONOMIQUE Alain SAUVANT L’année 2000 a vu une forte dégradation des résultats comptables d’AOM et d’Air Liberté, alors que les principaux concurrents (Air France et la SNCF) présentaient cette année là leurs meilleurs résultats depuis long- temps. Cette note présente une tentative d’explication économique des princi- pales causes de cette divergence qui a mené AOM et Air Liberté à déposer leur bilan en 2001. Elle montre en particulier la difficulté, pour un nouvel entrant dans le transport aérien, de mener une stratégie de concurrence frontale sur les grands axes face aux opérateurs historiques que sont Air France et la SNCF. De graves L’ensemble des filiales françaises de Swissair a connu en 2000 des difficultés difficultés financières importantes. Ces difficultés, qui se sont poursuivies en 2001, ont économiques amené ces compagnies à déposer leur bilan. Le montant des pertes (avant en 2000, alors que restructuration et régularisation) a, en effet, atteint 2,6 milliards de francs en 2000 les concurrents pour l’ensemble des trois filiales françaises de Swissair (Air Liberté, AOM et Air Littoral) pour un chiffre d’affaires de 9,1 milliards de francs, soit un taux de perte se portaient bien de 29 % du chiffre d’affaires. Dans le même temps, la santé financière d’autres transporteurs aériens ou ferroviaires situés, en première approche, sur le même marché a été plutôt bonne. Ainsi, Air France a pu afficher un résultat positif de 2,76 milliards de francs pour son exercice 2000/2001 et la SNCF son premier résultat positif depuis longtemps, à hauteur de 444 millions de francs, pour l’exercice 2000.

  • Is the Low-Cost Long-Haul Business Model a Threat to European Major Airlines?
    Pierre Rolland Is the low-cost long-haul business model a threat to European major airlines? Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration European Business Administration Bachelor’s Thesis 28/04/2021 Abstract Author Pierre Rolland Title Is the low-cost long-haul business model a threat to European major airlines? Number of Pages 40 pages + 5 appendices Date 28th April 2021 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme European Business Administration Instructor/Tutor Daryl Chapman, Senior Lecturer The objective of this thesis is to understand the low-cost air market in Europe and identify the differences to explain to what extent the low-cost long-haul business is a threat to the European major airlines. This thesis consists of an explanation of the different low-cost long-haul air-market strategies in Europe, observe their development, successes and failures, and analyse their impact on the major airlines. The result of this research shows us that the low-cost model has affected the traditional model, and that major airlines have to adapt their offers to retain their clients. We also find out that the low-cost strategy that applies to the long-haul is not and cannot be the same as the short and medium-haul strategy.

    Améliorer la compétitivité du secteur aérien français Cahier technique n°1 Î Valorisation économique et sociale du transport aérien Améliorer la compétitivité du secteur aérien français - Cahier 1 - Date : 21/06/05 Valorisation économique et sociale du transport aérien Quelle définition pour le transport aérien ? Selon la nomenclature d’activités françaises, le transport aérien regroupe les activités régulières (code NAF 62.1Z) et le transport aérien non régulier (code NAF 62.2Z). Le transport aérien régulier regroupe le transport de personnes, de marchandises et de courrier sur des lignes régulières et selon des horaires déterminés. L’ensemble des vols charters, même réguliers, est exclu de cette classe. Le transport aérien non régulier regroupe les transports aériens de personnes et de marchandises réalisés par les charters, les avions-taxis, les locations d’avions avec pilote, ou encore les excursions aériennes. Les autres activités aériennes telles que les baptêmes de l’air, le parachutisme, les promenades en montgolfière, etc. ne sont pas assimilées à du transport aérien mais à des services récréatifs et services liés au sport. Le transport aérien, un outil indispensable de nos sociétés d’échanges Le trafic aérien mondial est en constante augmentation depuis 10 ans, indépendamment des événements géopolitiques récents. En 2001, l’activité « transport de passagers » est estimée à 364 milliards de dollars, en augmentation de 77% par rapport à 1991. La croissance du transport aérien de fret est de 9% par an, soit en moyenne 3 points de plus que celle du trafic passagers. La demande de transport aérien est principalement induite par la croissance économique, qui s’appuie dans un contexte mondialisé sur un besoin important d’échange et de mobilité des biens et des personnes.

  • The History of Jesuit Libraries in Croatia an Overview
    journal of jesuit studies 2 (2015) 283-301 brill.com/jjs The History of Jesuit Libraries in Croatia An Overview Marica Šapro-Ficović City Library Dubrovnik, Croatia [email protected] Željko Vegh City Library Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide a historical overview of the Jesuit libraries in Croatia from their foundation to the present. The first known libraries were at Jesuit high schools, called “colleges,” established during the seventeenth century. This article deals with foundation of libraries at the Jesuit colleges in Zagreb, Varaždin, Požega, Rijeka, and Dubrovnik, emphasizing their role supporting education and the dissemination of knowl- edge. These libraries were witness to a strong influence of Jesuits colleges on the spiritual, educational, and intellectual life of many Croats. Highlighted in this respect is the famous library of the Jesuit school in Dubrovnik (Collegium Ragusinum). After the suppression of Jesuit order in 1773, the colleges were closed, and their libraries scattered and plundered. Nevertheless, many books survived. Portions of the collections of the former Jesuit col- leges are today an invaluable part of the patrimony of the largest Croatian libraries. Keywords Jesuits – Croatia – translation – Dubrovnik college – Zagreb college – Varaždin college – Požega college – Rijeka college – library history – old and rare book collections Introduction Jesuits arrived on Croatian soil in the mid-sixteenth century by invitation, shortly after the founding of the Society of Jesus.
