  • 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.

  • Airline Alliances
    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2011 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Open Skies • 1992 - the United States concluded the first second generation “open skies” agreement with the Netherlands. It allowed KLM and any other Dutch carrier to fly to any point in the United States, and allowed U.S. carriers to fly to any point in the Netherlands, a country about the size of West Virginia. The U.S. was ideologically wedded to open markets, so the imbalance in traffic rights was of no concern. Moreover, opening up the Netherlands would allow KLM to drain traffic from surrounding airline networks, which would eventually encourage the surrounding airlines to ask their governments to sign “open skies” bilateral with the United States. • 1993 - the U.S. conferred antitrust immunity on the Wings Alliance between Northwest Airlines and KLM. The encirclement policy began to corrode resistance to liberalization as the sixth freedom traffic drain began to grow; soon Lufthansa, then Air France, were asking their governments to sign liberal bilaterals. • 1996 - Germany fell, followed by the Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Malta, Poland. • 2001- the United States had concluded bilateral open skies agreements with 52 nations and concluded its first multilateral open skies agreement with Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. • 2002 – France fell. • 2007 - The U.S. and E.U. concluded a multilateral “open skies” traffic agreement that liberalized everything but foreign ownership and cabotage. • 2011 – cumulatively, the U.S. had signed “open skies” bilaterals with more than100 States. Multilateral and Bilateral Air Transport Agreements • Section 5 of the Transit Agreement, and Section 6 of the Transport Agreement, provide: “Each contracting State reserves the right to withhold or revoke a certificate or permit to an air transport enterprise of another State in any case where it is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control are vested in nationals of a contracting State .

  • FAQ for the STAR ALLIANCE DIGITAL CONNECTION SERVICE Q. What
    FAQ for the STAR ALLIANCE DIGITAL CONNECTION SERVICE Q. What is the background behind Star Alliance Connection Service? A. With the growth of the Alliance, and the large number of alliance member carriers operating through large airport hubs such as Frankfurt/Main, the number of passengers and bags affected when flight delays affected an onwards connection also grew. While airlines have systems to flag passengers connecting from one flight to another, there did not exist a way to predict the number of alliance customers who might be affected when delays and misconnections occurred. In the early 2000’s, the Alliance developed Star Alliance Connections Centers, special operation desks at major hubs with dedicated staff and customized computer software continually monitoring flights to identify “at risk” connections from one Star Alliance member airline to another at that hub airport. Q. What did the Star Alliance Connections Centers do for connecting passengers? A. In these early days, the focus was on ensuring the customer baggage was expedited – usually directly by special handling teams from one flight to another (ramp transfer) rather than going through the complex airport sorting process. The idea was premised on customers being able to find their way to their connecting gate themselves, but the baggage needed special assistance. Q. Did Connections Centers also handle passenger connections? A. With Frankfurt/Main being the single larger airport hub for alliance-to-alliance connections, the Connections Centers ultimately started to cater to passengers too, those most at risk of missing their connecting flight, as well as their baggage. This was purely a behind-the- scenes activity, without promotion.
