RAND OFFICES SANTA MONICA, CA • WASHINGTON, DC PITTSBURGH, PA • NEW ORLEANS, LA • JACKSON, MS • BOSTON, MA CAMBRIDGE, UK • BRUSSELS, BE www.rand.org Preface The title of this report was inspired by the comments of former U.S. Air Force intelligence lead Lt Gen David A. Deptula (ret.), who fore- cast in 2012 that his service would soon be “swimming in sensors and drowning in data” from unmanned air vehicles.1 This report provides a summary of results from two studies conducted by the RAND Cor- poration for the U.S. Navy. The overarching concern in both studies was the “flood” of data coming from the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems that Navy intelligence analysts and com- manders rely on for situational awareness. The first study identified the year in which the effects of this “flood” would first be felt (2016).2 The second constituted the analysis of alternatives for the Distributed Common Ground System–Navy Increment 2, a system intended to help the Navy address the influx of data. This report describes the Navy’s “big data” challenge and outlines potential solutions involv- ing changes along four dimensions: people, tools and technology, data and data architecture, and demand and demand management. We also discuss broader issues related to the challenges and opportunities pre- 1 Stew Magnuson, “Military ‘Swimming in Sensors and Drowning in Data,’” National Defense Magazine, January 2010. 2 Ed Brady, Jim Bexfield, Jim Hildegrand, and John Orem, “Analytical Approaches to Air- borne ISR MORS Workshop: A Summary of Results from the Perspective of the Synthe- sis and Integration Group,” presentation at the National Defense University, Washington, D.C., June 25, 2012; Isaac R.

This report should be of interest to the Navy and other services, agencies, and organizations that rely on ISR data.

    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

  • Addressing Subsidized Competition from State-Owned Airlines in Qatar and the UAE
    Restoring Open Skies: Addressing Subsidized Competition from State-Owned Airlines in Qatar and the UAE January 2015 1 U.S. Open Skies Policy Is Predicated On a Level Playing Field • Since 1992, the United States has successfully 1 removed limitations on flights between the United States and over 100 foreign countries, leaving the market free to determine destinations, frequencies, routes and prices. This “Open Skies” policy has generally provided great benefits to U.S. consumers, airlines and the economy. • U.S. Open Skies policy is premised on the belief that Open Skies agreements enable U.S. airlines to compete in a marketplace free of government distortion, including subsidies. • U.S. carriers have proven that they can successfully compete against any carrier in the world when the playing field is level. • But in the case of the Gulf nations of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the playing field is not level. 2 The Governments of Qatar and the UAE are pursuing aviation industrial policies that are fundamentally incompatible with Open Skies • Over the past decade, the governments of Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai have granted over $40 billion in subsidies and other unfair benefits to their state- owned carriers in order to stimulate their economies by promoting the flow of international passenger traffic through their Gulf hubs. • State-owned Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Emirates Airline are now using this huge, artificial cost advantage to exploit the open access they have to the U.S. market. • The routes that these subsidized airlines operate to the United States have not meaningfully increased passenger traffic; they merely serve to displace the market share of U.S.

    sustainability Article Perceptions of Customers as Sustained Competitive Advantages of Global Marketing Airline Alliances: A Hybrid Text Mining Approach Gang-Hoon Seo 1,* and Munehiko Itoh 2 1 Graduate School of Business Administration, Kobe University, Kobe 657-8501, Japan 2 Research Institute for Economics and Business Administration, Kobe University, Kobe 657-8501, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-80-4764-7504 Received: 22 June 2020; Accepted: 31 July 2020; Published: 3 August 2020 Abstract: Over the past several decades, the aviation industry has been reshaped, centering on global alliances, and these have grown exponentially. However, it is still not clear whether they are achieving sustained competitive advantages, and what are the specific competitive advantages of the three alliances (oneworld, SkyTeam, Star Alliance) arising on the customer side. This study aims to examine whether global alliance groups outperform the non-alliance group, how the three alliances differ regarding passengers’ perceptions, and what their competitive advantages are. A hybrid text mining analysis was adopted as this study’s method. Frequency tests, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance tests, and three-step mediated regression analyses were performed using 6393 ordinal and word-of-mouth (WOM) data. We found that the degree of passengers’ perceptions of alliances was low, the non-alliance group outperformed the alliance groups, and there were no significant differences between alliances on service rating and sentiment score. Only oneworld has competitive advantages that link to passengers’ service rating and sentiment score. These findings imply that alliances could not ensure competitive advantages that derive from customers’ perceptions, and although passengers partly perceived several selling points, their differentiation strategies are not successful.
