  • KLM Vs. LOT Vs. Divi Divi Air. Wat Verbergt Zich Achter De Namen Van Luchtvaartmaatschappijen in Polen En in Het Nederlandse Taalgebied?
    Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis No 3619 Neerlandica Wratislaviensia XXIV Wrocław 2014 Jacek KARPIŃSKI (Universiteit Wrocław) KLM vs. LOT vs. Divi Divi Air. Wat verbergt zich achter de namen van luchtvaartmaatschappijen in Polen en in het Nederlandse taalgebied? Abstract Boarding an aircraft, a passenger immediately enters into a different world and encounters a dif- ferent culture. For this reason, airlines are often viewed as national symbols, which is oftentimes strengthened by their names (e.g. Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, Brussels Airlines, Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT or Air Aruba). However, there are also airlines whose names were created in a totally different way (e.g. Transavia, Jetairfly or Bingo Airways). In this paper, I will make an at- tempt at providing the answer to the question of how the names of the airlines functioning in Poland and the Dutch-speaking territories were created and what influence the cultures of those countries had on this name-formation process. The major goal is thus to present the outcomes of a semantic analysis of the names of 113 Dutch, Belgian, Surinamese and Polish (both contemporary and non- existent) airlines. The study will also involve tracing the differences and similarities in the history of the formation of the names under analysis. Als je het toestel van een of andere luchtvaartmaatschappij instapt, kom je meteen terecht in de sfeer van een andere wereld, van een andere cultuur. Amsterdam, Schiphol. Een grondstewardess roept de vlucht om: „De KLM- vlucht KL0867 naar Osaka is nu gereed om in te stappen. Passagiers wordt ver- zocht aan boord te gaan via gate E24”.

  • The Analysis of Passenger Air Transport Development in Poland Over the Period 2010-2018
    European Research Studies Journal Volume XXIII, Issue 1, 2020 pp. 13-30 The Analysis of Passenger Air Transport Development in Poland over the Period 2010-2018 Submitted 18/11/19, 1st revision 12/12/19, 2nd revision 22/01/19, accepted 20/01/20 Katarzyna Wąsowska1 Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the conducted research was analysis of data regarding aviation activities in the field of passenger transport at Polish airports over the period 2010-2018. Design/Methodology/Approach: The Analysis of the air travel segment referring passenger transport in Polish airports is based on available literature, analysis and statistical documentation of the air transport market for the years 2010-2018. Findings: The Polish market of air services continues to be in a state of flux. The pace at which changes occur results from a combination of external and internal factors, which precondition the behaviour of air carriers and customers, and the operation of airports. When analysing air transport development forecast, we can see a further upward trend in the number of activities of all market participants. That said, in the near future we should be expecting an expansion of connections, erection of state-of-the-art infrastructure, new air services, and above all a growth of importance of Poland on the aviation map of Europe. Practical Implications: Having regard to data included in the study, without a doubt the Polish aviation market should be considered a strongly developing one, having enormous potential ensuing not only from population mobility different EU standards, but also from demographic potential of Poland, gradual wealth gaining of the Polish society, and Poland’s geographic location.

    Business Strategies in Polish regional aviation in the last century Stefan Chabiera Department of Strategy and Management Methods, Faculty of Management, Computer Science and Finance, Wrocław University of Economics The world aviation started in the year 1783, when, for the first time in history, a balloon of French brothers Montgolfier, filled with hot air, performed its first flight. However, balloon flights, due to their maneuvering limitations, have not initiated any significant development in passenger aviation. In 1903, more than 100 years later, the Wright brothers (Americans), made the first controlled airplane flight, powered by an internal combustion engine. In connection with a significant interest in the military potential of air transport, the development of aviation accelerated during World War I. In the late 1920s, Englishman Frank Whittle designed a jet engine, which ten years later was installed for the first time in a German airplane, Heinkel He 178. Earlier, in February 1919, the world's first airline, Deutsche Luft-Reederei, launched the Berlin-Weimar line. In the same year, in March, Lignes Aériennes Farman airlines launched the first international line connecting Paris with Brussels. First of the above mentioned line has been later rebranded into German Lufthansa, and the other one into French Air France. First airline in Polish lands, Aero-Targ, was established in 1924 for the Poznań Fair. It operated for a week between Poznań, Warsaw, and Gdańsk, from May 28 until June 5, 1924, over this time transporting about 400 passengers on 58 flights in six Junkers F 13 planes. However , the project turned out to be unfeasible.

Two periods of their development deserve particular attention: the in- terwar period, in which the communication aviation was born, and the time after 2004, when its rapid expansion was noted. The establishment and development of the communication aviation of the Second Polish Republic was strongly associated with the statist policy aimed at modernizing the state. This is evidenced by the construction of airports in Warsaw, Gdynia, Katowice, Łódź and Vilnius, whose activities have helped to integrate the country after the years of partitions. In People’s Poland, civilian communication was based on a network of military airports, which was supplemented with a new airport in Gdańsk-Rębiechów. Large areas of the north-eastern voivode- ships were excluded from air connections and timid attempts to overcome these disproportions only appeared in the Third Republic of Poland in the form of airports in Lublin and Radom. The fourfold increase in the number of passengers served by Polish airports in 2004–2016 was an unquestionable phenomenon influenced by the Open Sky policy. Keywords: Poland after 1918, transport aviation, airports.
