Abstract Keywords: 2 1. Introduction Air traffic is one of the factors influencing and, at the same time, showing the position of a city in the world-city hierarchy. There is a positive correlation between higher volumes of air passenger and cargo flows, urban growth and the position in the urban hierarchy of the knowledge economy (Goetz, 1992; Rodrigue, 2004; Taylor, 2004; Derudder and Witlox, 2005, 2008; Bel and Fageda, 2008). In relation to the configuration of mega-city regions, Hall (2009) remarks that it is key to understand how information moves in order to achieve face-to-face communication and, over long distances, it will continue to move by air, through the big international airports (Shin and Timberlake, 2000). This paper deals with the allocation of seat capacity among all EU and US airports over a period of 20 years.

  • Reason Behind Kingfisher Airline's Failure: “An Eye Opening Case Study
    REASON BEHIND KINGFISHER AIRLINE’S FAILURE: “AN EYE OPENING CASE STUDY REVEALING THREE KEY WORDS FOR AVIATION INDUSTRY SUCCESS: COSTS, COSTS, COSTS” * JAYANT SRIVASTAVA (Asst. Professor, Trinity Business School, Murad Nagar, Ghaziabad) ** ASAD ALI & AKANSHA TIWARI (Students PGDM, Trinity Business School) ABSTRACT: Our research paper try to throw lights on some major reasons which were somehow responsible for the current crisis going inside the kingfisher Airlines which can be realized by the press statement from KFA, on 12 March 2012, highlights the challenges: “The flight loads have reduced because of our limited distribution ability caused by IATA suspension. We are therefore combining some of our flights. Also, some of the flights are being cancelled as a result of employee agitation on account of delayed salaries. This situation has arisen as a consequence of our bank accounts having been frozen by the tax authorities. We are making all possible efforts to remedy this temporary situation.” RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The key objective of this research study is to investigate the reasons behind the failure of the Kingfisher airline in the year 2012. To investigate the government policies and the various steps taken to fix the current crisis. To investigate the reasons due to which the whole Aviation Industry is suffering from higher operating losses. What went so terribly wrong with Kingfisher when rival Jet Airways has comparatively much higher debt? INTRODUCTION: Global aviation industry is passing through challenging times due to unprecedented fuel price hike during the last 4 years, turbulent financial markets and economic recession. Vijay Malaya’s dream bird, Kingfisher Airlines - popularly known as The King of Good Times - is witnessing its worst phase.

    European Air Law Association 23rd Annual Conference Palazzo Spada Piazza Capo di Ferro 13, Rome “Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights” Laura Pierallini Studio Legale Pierallini e Associati, Rome LUISS University of Rome, Rome Rome, 4th November 2011 Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini Air transport and insolvencies of air carriers: an introduction According to a Study carried out in 2011 by Steer Davies Gleave for the European Commission (entitled Impact assessment of passenger protection in the event of airline insolvency), between 2000 and 2010 there were 96 insolvencies of European airlines operating scheduled services. Of these insolvencies, some were of small airlines, but some were of larger scheduled airlines and caused significant issues for passengers (Air Madrid, SkyEurope and Sterling). Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian market This trend has significantly affected the Italian market, where over the last eight years, a number of domestic air carriers have experienced insolvencies: ¾Minerva Airlines ¾Gandalf Airlines ¾Alpi Eagles ¾Volare Airlines ¾Air Europe ¾Alitalia ¾Myair ¾Livingston An overall, since 2003 the Italian air transport market has witnessed one insolvency per year. Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian Air Transport sector and the Italian bankruptcy legal framework. ¾A remedy like Chapter 11 in force in the US legal system does not exist in Italy, where since 1979 special bankruptcy procedures (Amministrazione Straordinaria) have been introduced to face the insolvency of large enterprises (Law. No. 95/1979, s.c. Prodi Law, Legislative Decree No. 270/1999, s.c. Prodi-bis, Law Decree No. 347/2003 enacted into Law No.
