I would like to thank my master thesis supervisors, Pr. Paul Fisette and Pr. Bruno Dehez for their support and for the approval to work on this proposed subject. It was a chance to be sup- ported by people with such an open-mindedness and eagerness to discover new technical fields. Their understanding of my challenging situation and their flexibility was greatly appreciated. I would especially like to thank Nicolas Docquier for the many hours spent at correcting the Robotran-Simulink interface Windows version, my algorithms and for the countless advises that he provided all along the year. Thanks to the assisting staff of the department, Aubain Verlé, Olivier Lantsoght, Quentin Docquier for their technical inputs and support. Finally, thank you very much to UCL university staff for their understanding and their support during those 5 years.

  • Competitive Strategies and Entry Strategies of Low Cost Airline Incumbent 1Time Airline
    Competitive Strategies and Entry Strategies of Low Cost Airline Incumbent 1time Airline A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Business Administration of Rhodes University by Diane Potgieter January 2007 Abstract This dissertation reports on the factors that contributed to the successful entry strategy of 1time Airline, a low cost carrier, into the South African airline industry as well as its competitive strategies within this context. Research interviews were conducted in November 2005 and research material gathered until end January 2006. Key issues include an evaluation of 1time's business model in relation to other low cost entrants as well as against material sourced through interviews with 1time Airline management, employees and consumers of the airline's product. Porter's Generic Strategies and Five Forces model are used as a framework in evaluating the airline. It is found that Nohria, Joyce and Robertson's "4+2 Formula" is effectively implemented at the airline, but that further implementation of Game Theory in terms of alliances should be investigated for continued success and sustainability.

  • New Manchester Airport Pushback Procedures – Revision Zulu
    JUNE 2019 AIRPORT SAFETY FOCUS NEW MANCHESTER AIRPORT PUSHBACK PROCEDURES – REVISION ZULU As of the 10th July 2019 at 00:01hrs local, the new Zulu Pushback Procedures need to be adhered to by the airside community. The key changes that have been made are the amendments for stands 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 111 and 113 as well as changes to push and park locations. In addition to this, the B787-10 has been added to the Engine Test Bay Stop Positions list and 2 new tug call signs have been added. Following on from discussions held at the Pushback Safety committee with both MAG and the ground handling community representatives present, it was decided that it would be a good idea to have defined gaps between the pushback procedures for each stand added. This should provide better clarity and reduce errors in performing the wrong pushback. It is vital that the latest version of the Pushback Procedures document and a copy of the Manchester Airport Manoeuvring Area Map are always in aircraft tugs and try to ensure that you are familiar to them and refer to them before a pushback begins. If you are unsure about an instruction given by ATC or you think an instruction needs to be challenged, give them a call to discuss your concerns. AIRFIELD WORKS IN PROGRESS VIEWER Don’t be afraid to query. Always ask and never assume – you either The Airfield Planning team are the airfield operational while undergoing know or you don’t. responsible for co-ordinating all of the major reconstruction and minor work that occurs out on and around the maintenance work.
