Airline Yield Management 2009 AIRLINE YIELD May MANAGEMENT 2009 VKRB Frau Prof. Schusteritsch Julius Neubauer, 5BT Kärntner Tourismusschulen Warmbad Villach Airline Yield Management 2009 I. PREFACE As the global financial crisis continues to expand, it becomes increasingly important for companies of each economic sector to ensure and optimize its revenues. Airlines already recognized this in the late 70s, when the airline deregulation act was signed into law by the President of the United States of America. The purpose of this act was to remove governmental control over fares, routes and the market entry of new airlines. This led to an oversaturation of capacities in this market because within a few years many new private airlines emerged. In this time they were constantly keen on improving their cost structures to remain competitive. This was yield management’s hour of birth. Yield Management enabled airlines to dynamically adjust fares according to demand and to appeal to different target groups by offering customized rates. The basic consideration of Yield Management is to sell goods or services for the highest price a customer is willing to pay. To achieve this it utilizes several techniques, all explained in detail in the course of this skilled work. I decided to choose Yield Management because I think it’s one of the most important processes for airlines. Being in proper use, it enables companies to stimulate demand, adjust fares and make crucial decisions on seat allocation. During my research I read several books and dissertations which gave me a many-sided insight on this matter. It was very interesting to compare the different points of view of each author and hence draw my own conclusions. But I also encountered a few problems. In search of information for a case study on how airlines actually imply yield management, I figured out that this information is considered confidential. So, all airlines that I was in correspondence with rejected my requests. To prove this, I decided to attach two emails in the appendix. II. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE With these words I am declaring that I have written this skilled work on my own, that I have just used the stated records and that I have submitted this skilled work nowhere else for examination purposes.

ZADOVOLJSTVO KORISNIKA USLUGAMA NISKOTARIFNIH AVIOKOMPANIJA U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ SAŽETAK Sadašnje stanje na zrakoplovnom trţištu karakterizira prisutnost izrazito jake konkurencije i brze promjene trţišnih uvjeta. U takvom okruţenju uspijevaju samo kompanije koje se brzo i učinkovito prilagoĎavaju i mijenjaju. Djelotvorne promjene omogućuju razvoj i uspjeh, a ulaganje u razvoj i razlikovanje od drugih jedini su put opstanka. Liberalizacija hrvatskog zrakoplovnog trţišta posljednjih godina znatno je utjecala na povećanje potraţnje u meĎunarodnom redovnom putničkom prometu, čime zrakoplovno okruţenje u Hrvatskoj postaje sve zahtjevnije i dinamičnije. Dolaskom niskotarifnih avioprijevoznika u Hrvatsku, putnici imaju veći izbor nego ikad prije. Cilj ovog rada je ukazati na dinamiku i slojevitost zrakoplovnog trţišta u cjelini. Očito je da primjena poslovnih niskotarifnih strategija ima sve značajniji utjecaj na gospodarstvo. Rezultati provedenog primarnog istraţivanja

La base de trabajo ha sido el análisis de la prensa especializada, a partir de la cual se han identificado los casos innovadores. Gracias al análisis de su origen (tecnológico, geo- político, aero-político, corporativo, de producto y en la infraestructura) y a su contextualización, hemos podido trazar la historia de la aviación comercial desde su origen en 1919 hasta nuestros días. Palabras clave: Historia contemporánea, Aviación comercial, Política aérea, Relaciones internacionales, Turismo, Innovación, Aerolíneas, Aeropuertos Abstract This doctoral thesis analyses the contribution of commercial aviation to the contemporary history, particularly in the field of external relations, international economy and mass tourism. We have identified all innovations with a structural impact on the industry through specialised press, considering the changes on technology, geopolitics, aeropolitics, business models, product and services, and infrastructure. This methodology has allowed us to write the history of the commercial aviation since its origin in 1919.

    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • Beyond the Sunset #4 by George Fuller the MONTREAL DAILY
    Beyond the Sunset #4 By George Fuller The MONTREAL DAILY STAR of 30 October 1913 published an interview with a Montrealer who had made an aerial voyage in a Zeppelin during a recent trip to Europe. Gerald Lomer and his daughter Clara had flown on a three hour, 175 km tour over the Black Forest from Oos, near Baden-Baden in southwestern Germany. At the time the little resort city was welcoming more than 75,000 visitors per year. Its proximity to the Rhine River and the scenic Black Forest had attracted wealthy travellers since Romans came to enjoy its thermal baths. North Americans were able to make travel bookings to the area through the Hamburg-America shipping line (HAPAG). In late 1909, with partial backing from HAPAG, the inventor of the rigid airship, Count Zeppelin and associates had established the German Aerial Transportation Company (DELAG). The first hangar/sheds for German passenger-carrying airships were built at Baden-Baden and Dusseldorf and an inaugural flight by the Zeppelin airship “Deutschland” with 23 passengers was made in late June, I910. By the summer of 1913 seven more German cities had airship sheds and three dirigibles were in regular service. The Lomers travelled in the L.Z.17 “Sachsen” (Saxony) which had first flown in early May, 1913. It had three 165 hp Maybach gasoline engines. One of these, installed in the forward crew nacelle, drove two 2-bladed propellers on outriggers on either side of the hull. The other two engines were in a rear gondola, each driving an outrigger mounted 4-bladed propeller.
