  • SOUTHWEST AIRLINES “Without Heart, It’S Just a Machine”1
    SOUTHWEST AIRLINES “Without heart, It’s just a machine”1 INTRODUCTION As introduction, we would like to point out our motivation when choosing this research, the working hypothesis, the methodology and the difficulties we have found while analysing the company. Our main goal is to learn how to succeed in the business world, as Jean Jacques Rousseau said: ''Youth is the time to study wisdom; old age is the time to practice it''. With this in mind, asked ourselves: how can a company succeed even when there are external factors that threat their business model? Once we knew where we wanted to go, we began the search for a company that fixed perfectly with our idea of work. After searching for a while, we finally found it: Southwest Airlines, a prestigious American low cost aviation company, that, thanks to its internal policies and its management team, has been the only US profitable airline even during the oil crisis of the nineties and the 9/11, maintaining its customer’s service level and outstanding quality. When studying the Company, we struggled while having to select the right information in order to make an appropriate analysis, due to the fact that the Business is not Spanish. Because of its internationality, we could not find the material in the regular data base that we are used to, which made the research a lot harder that it would have been. In addition, we thought it could be very interesting to do our project in English, since the Company is American. However, that implicated more effort, but we do not regret it at all.

  • Indigo and Air India-- on Wednesday Announced
    1 Revue de presse février 2020 The only two Indian carriers that fly to China -- IndiGo and Air India-- on Wednesday announced suspension of most of their flights to that country, while India has requested China for permission to operate two flights to bring back its nationals from Hubei province which has been sealed after the deadly coronavirus outbreak. A fresh travel advisory asking people to refrain from travelling to China has been issued by the Union government which has ramped up screening across airports, ports and borders, as the virus spread to at least 17 countries. No case of the novel coronavirus has been detected in India, though hundreds of people remain under observation in many states including as many as 806 in Kerala, according to officials. With several airlines based in Asia, North America and Europe restricting operations to the region, the Indian carriers too followed suit. The country's largest airline IndiGo said it has suspended its flights on Bengaluru-Hong Kong route from February 1 and on the Delhi-Chengdu route from February 1 to 20. Similarly, state-run Air India is suspending its flights on Delhi-Shanghai route from January 31 to February 14 and reducing the frequency on Delhi-Hong Kong route to thrice-weekly only in the same time period. IndiGo will, for now, continue to operate the Kolkata-Guangzhou flight which it is "monitoring on a daily basis". The crew of the two airlines working on flights connecting India with South East Asian countries have been asked to wear N95 masks on ground and take other precautions like not visiting public places.

  • This Was a Year of Heavy Lifts and Major Milestones at Tampa
    his was a year of heavy lifts and major milestones at Tampa International Airport. While Tconstruction crews made remarkable progress on the Airport’s historic $1 billion expansion, the Airport celebrated higher passenger numbers, new domestic and international routes and a year of ever-stronger revenue and finances. TPA celebrated a year of transformation while maintaining its strong commitment to passenger experience and closed out a busy 2016 ranked again among the best airports in North America. Check out a year of growth and change at America’s favorite airport! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //EXECUTIVE MESSAGE from Chairman, Robert Watkins This has been a year of phenomenal growth for the Airport. Revenues exceeded $200 million for the second year in a row. Meanwhile, nearly two dozen new concessions opened this year, and we’ve made significant progress on our expansion, with the consolidated rental car center and people-mover guideway taking shape and much of the terminal expansion completed. This $1 billion project not only is changing the face of the Airport, but is supporting local businesses and creating jobs. More than 95 percent of the nearly 400 contractors and subcontractors on the job are based in Florida or have offices in the state, and when construction was at its peak, nearly 2,000 workers were busy on Airport construction sites. The Airport’s concessions overhaul means local businesses will sell their products in Airport shops, and locally-owned restaurants will offer a taste of Tampa Bay for years to come. This year the airport earned a double-A rating from Fitch Ratings, making it the fourth bond-rating agency to show that level of confidence in the Aviation Authority’s financial health.
