  • Delivering Excellent Service Quality in Low Cost Aviation
    MASTER THESIS IMM – International Marketing & Management DELIVERING EXCELLENT SERVICE QUALITY IN LOW COST AVIATION A Process Perspective on the Passenger Market in Copenhagen Airport December 2009 Rasmus Lindstrøm Jensen Advisor: Jesper Clement COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL Preface The following thesis is composed on the basis of empirical data collected at Norwegian, Cimber Sterling and six individual airline passengers. I would like to thank Lone Koch (Vice President of Product Management, Cimber Sterling ) and Johan Bisgaard Larsen (Marketing Manager, Norwegian - CPH ) for the kindness and dedication. They contributed with precious information in devising the problem statement and further made the execution of the questionnaire survey possible. Further, I would like to thank Adam Høyer ( Co+Hoegh ), Christoffer Casparij ( Væksthus Sjælland ), Lene Susgaard Henriksen ( Novo Nordisk ), Morten Kaaber ( Muuto New Nordic ), Ditte Clément ( CBS ) and Line Lundø ( CBS ) for contributing with valuable information in the focus group interview. Finally, I would like to thank my advisor Jesper Clement for being a committed and pleasant advisor and sparring partner throughout the entire process. Since the number of pages in thesis exceeds 80 pages a calculation of the magnitude has been made to keep the record straight. The calculation are based on the assumption that one normal page corresponds to 2275 characters and one figure corresponds to 800 characters. Thus the actual number of pages is calculated; (169.675 + (800*16)/2275 = 80,2 pages). Consequently, the thesis keeps within the specified boundaries. Copenhagen, December 2009 Rasmus Lindstrøm Jensen Executive Summary This thesis explores the concept of service quality and customer satisfaction with low cost airlines in Copenhagen Airport.

This has resulted from the movement of both parties in the same direction, toward the mainstream middle.” Airline Business, May 2009 (emphasis added). Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert, Richard Klophaus – European LCCs going hybrid - The Hague, April 14, 2011 3 Motivation / Background • Dynamic market environment with recent changes, e.g. some LCCs offering transfer flights or can be booked via GDS. • Yet, very limited empirical analysis of “hybridization”. Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert, Richard Klophaus – European LCCs going hybrid - The Hague, April 14, 2011 4 Aim of the paper It is examined • to what extent carriers today blend low-cost characteristics with the business characteristics of traditional full-service airlines, and • which characteristics remain distinct between LCCs and traditional full-service airlines and which tend to be common for all carriers.

  • Air Greenland Places Christmas Order for an A330neo
    Air Greenland places Christmas order for an A330neo #A330neo @AirGreenlandSAS Toulouse, 18 December 2020 – Air Greenland, the flag-carrier for Greenland, is the latest airline to order Airbus’ next generation A330neo widebody aircraft. The new A330-800 will replace the airline’s ageing Airbus A330-200ceo to secure operations linking the Arctic island with Denmark from end of 2022 onwards and beyond. Air Greenland’s CEO’s Jacob Nitter Sørensen said: “The A330neo is a fundamental part of Air Greenland’s fleet strategy. The new aircraft will, for years to come, offer travellers to and from Greenland a unique inflight experience while leaving the lowest carbon footprint possible. The A330neo is a perfect fit for the very challenging task of providing safe and efficient all year passenger, cargo and freight services to and from Greenland.” “We’re pleased to see Air Greenland renew its confidence in the A330 Family and join the growing number of operators who are selecting the A330neo as a logical replacement for their ageing fleets,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer. “To imagine the airline’s distinctive red livery set against the Arctic’s environment provides some Christmas cheer at the end of a year that has been harsh for our entire industry.” The Airbus A330neo is a true new-generation aircraft, building on features popular for the A330ceo and developed for the latest technology A350. Equipped with a compelling Airspace cabin, the A330neo offers a unique passenger experience with the latest- generation, in-flight entertainment systems and connectivity. Powered by the latest Rolls- Royce Trent 7000 engines, and featuring a new wing with increased span and A350-inspired ‘Sharklets’, the A330neo also provides an unprecedented level of efficiency – with 25% lower fuel-burn per seat than previous-generation competitors.
