    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.

  • Perceptions of Customers As Sustained Competitive Advantages of Global Marketing Airline Alliances: a Hybrid Text Mining Approach
    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.

  • Iag's Acquisition of Air Europa: Possibilities and Risks
    www.guerrasynavas.com Short Case 49 IAG'S ACQUISITION OF AIR EUROPA: POSSIBILITIES AND RISKS Diego Corrales Garay Universidad Rey Juan Carlos On November 4, 2019, Globalia, the main Spanish tourism group to which the airline Air Europa belongs, and the Spanish-British group, International Airlines Group (hereinafter IAG) to which airlines like Iberia, British Airways, Aer Lingus, Vueling and Level belong, signed an agreement whereby Iberia would acquire the entire issued share capital of Air Europa for 1 billion euros in cash. Air Europa, according to the initial conditions set out in the operation that would be integrated into the Iberia Group as an autonomous revenue center, but keeping its own brand. In this way, the Iberia Group would become, if the 2018 air traffic figures were maintained, the one with the most passengers transported within Spain ahead of the Irish airline Ryanair with more than 50 million, compared to 46,8 million of the latter. Likewise, IAG would have under its control 4 of the 6 most important airlines in terms of number of passengers in Spain (Iberia, Iberia Express, Vueling and Air Europa). With this operation, IAG would try to lead the routes between Europe and America, as Air Europa has 24 transatlantic routes with South America and the Caribbean and with the United States in North America, being able to convert the Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez airport (main headquarters of Iberia) into an important Hub in Europe that could compete with powerful Hubs of the old continent such as Paris Charles de Gaulle, London Heathrow, Frankfurt or Amsterdam.
