Analysis

Advantage of aviation industry

Visit many tourist places by air transport. Aviation provides the only worldwide transportation network, which makes it

essential for global business and tourism. Air transpiration alleviates poverty and helps to improve living standards by

facilitating tourism. Air transport improves quality of life by broadening people’s leisure and

cultural experiences. It provides a wider choice of holiday destinations around the world and an affordable means to visit distance tourism place.

Air transport contributes to sustainable development not only by facilitating tourism and trade.

It generates economic growth, provides jobs, increase revenues from taxes as well as facilitates the delivery of emergency humanitarian aid relief and swift delivery of medical supplies anywhere on the earth.

Thomas Cook, is the World Wide travel agency arranging tour packages to people. This is one advantage to the airline industry.

Most of the airlines are flying to the tourist place like Switzerland, Goa, UK, France, Japan, Spain, Dubai, etc.

Due to growth in tourism, there has been an increase in number of the international and domestic passenger. The estimated growth of domestic passenger segment is at 50% per annum and the growth for international passenger is 25% (p.a).

Tourisms places

Low cost airline.

The advantage of low cost flights also include the fact that you would be able to cover more

ground and therefore helps you to be more productive. Besides, flying is fun and everybody

Should experience it at one time or other and the low cost flights offer you just the right

opportunity to do so. It saves you precious time

This is one advantage that many find irresistible. Time is a very precious commodity today, and

if you can fly for just a small increase of time compared to a train journey, then it is definitely

worthwhile. It is extremely convenient

One of the most important of the advantages of low cost flights is the convenience of travelling.

you do not need to worry anymore about long and tiresome journeys by bus, train or car. This

would invariably involve countless days on road, living out of a suitcase and staying in

uncomfortable hotels. The flight does away with all this inconvenience. It saves money

Many people compare only the flight ticket cost to the gasoline bill or bus ticket cost (or any

other form of travel you choose). the difference would still be quite a lot, and therefore are

happy that by choosing alternative modes of travel they are saving some money. But is it so

really. Non stop service

a low cost airline, provides non-stop service from small airports to almost all Major airports

nonstop. Meal Service

Commercial airlines offer limited refreshments, often just peanuts or a beverage on domestic

flights. Budget airlines offer the same fare but for a price. With Transportation Safety

Administration restrictions, the days of brown bagging on a flight are over.

Market share:

In 2010, the private carriers accounted for around 75% share of

the domestic aviation market.

STUDENT CONCESSION FORM FOR DOMESTIC TRAVEL The ‘Form’ shall be accepted only if it is verified and attested

by the Principal/Head of the Educational establishment. The attested Form should be verified by the Air lines (IC)

office, nearest to the Educational Establishment before issuance of the ticket. In case an Educational Establishments located at a place where Air lines do not have an office but an approved Travel Agent is available, the approved Travel agent may verify this form and issue tickets.

Flights/Routes with high seat factor may be placed under Embargo for travel under ‘Student Discount’. On such Routes/Flights only those students shall be permitted to avail of students discount who are traveling between Place of study and Home Town.

Low cost airlines.

Job opportunity.

Since deregulation in 1978, the airline industry has hired twice as many new employees as were hired. Previous 35 year combined. This ever changing industry requires thousands of new employees monthly.

Over of the year experience in the aviation sector, Airline specialists have developed sophisticated systems and models for the assessment of candidates for various positions in cabin crew, flight crew, ground crew etc, either or in various recruitment phases.

A successful airline required inter and intra personal relationship

Every airline workforce into separate departments

1) Commercial pilot 12) Maintence controller.

2) Co-pilot. 13) Licensed aircraft maintence engineering.

3) Air cargo pilot. 14) Quality control manager.

4) Expat cabin crew. 15) Cargo officer.

5) Air traffic controller. 16) Guest service agents.

6) Cabin safety instructor. 17) Ground staff.

7) In flight manager.

8) In flight base manager.

9) Cabin service instructor.

10) Cabin crew.

11) Training instructor.

Advantage to employee: Travel Camaraderie. Absence of monotony. Appreciation. Personal development and other benefits.

Benefits to employee: Personal and family travel passes. Health insurance. Life insurance. Vision care insurance. Dental insurance. Sick pay. Paid vocation. Profit sharing. Retirement program.

Additional benefits: Full or part time employment. Wide pay range. Flexible schedule. Multiple days off. Job shares. Leave of absence. Personal adventure and excitement.

Modernization of airports

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is undertaking the development and modernization of all 35 non-metro airports in the country simultaneously and work is due to be completed by March 2010.

Wholly owned subsidiaries of AAI are being created for the development and operation of these airports. According to the AAI, it has already awarded work orders for terminal buildings at 13 airports, and for airside development, including runway, taxiway, apron, fire station, control tower and isolation bay, at 19 airports.

Two greenfield airports at Bangalore and Hyderabad are being developed .The first phase is planned to be finished by end-2008.

The other two metro airports - Chennai, Kolkata -- may soon be on the modernization path. At least 10 non-metro airports are being developed as strategic airports serving the region or respective states, and at least a few more non-metro airports are being positioned strategically as regional hub airports or nodes providing better connectivity to overall airport network and feeding international network through hub/metro airports.

With these developments in aviation infrastructure, we may also see some airports making money not purely on passenger traffic, but also by means of cargo, logistics, and real estate projects being developed adjacent to airports.

Domestic passenger movement across airports is likely to grow at a 20-25 per cent till 2010, and passenger traffic is expected to increase to around 120 million by 2010. Hence modernization, privatization and development of airports in the form of greenfield and/or brownfield airports is the need of the hour.

Modernization of airport

Indira Gandhi International Airport has become India's and South Asia's largest and most important aviation hub, with a current capacity of handling more than 46 million passengers and aimed at handling more than 100 million passengers by 2030.

There is also a separate Technical Area for VVIP passengers. IGI Airport is the home of several Indian airlines including Air India, Air India

Regional, Indian Airlines, IndiGo, JetLite, SpiceJet. Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, GoAir use IGI Airport as their secondary hub. Approximately 80 airlines serve this airport. There are Six operational terminals making up this airport, they are the following:

Terminal 1 Domestic This cater to Indian Airlines domestic flights only. bigger luggage reclaim area, It is

currently used by GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet Terminal 2 -immigration and emigration counters have been implemented, new

seats have been brought in, new baggage belts, more business lounges, eateries, and duty free shops had also been added

Terminal 3-the world’s eighth largest passenger terminal handle 34 million passengers annually. This terminal has 168 check-in counters, 78 aerobridges at 48 contact stands, 30 parking bays, 72 immigration counters, 15 X-ray screening areas, for less waiting times, duty-free shops, and other features. Over 90% of passengers will use this terminal.

Analysis

Disadvantage of aviation industry

Spoilage

CABIN SPOILAGE Loss of revenue occurring due to passengers No-Show or

cancel late on full flights.

DISCOUNT SPOILAGE Loss of revenue resulting from turning away discount

customers because discount seats were not available at the time of booking, subsequently the flight departs with a significant number of empty seats.

HIGHER YIELD SPILL The loss of revenue resulting from turning away late high

yield demand because too many lower yield seats were sold early.

DIFFERENTIAL PRICING An airline seat can be viewed by a purchaser as a single

commodity, the desire is to purchase at the lowest price.

Spoilage

Aircraft is expensive

Expensive aircrafts Gulfstream G550: $59.9 million Boeing business jet: $55.5 million Bombardier Global Express XRS: $47.7 million Gulfstream V-SP: $45 million Assault Falcon 7X: $41 million Most expensive aircraft in the world is airbus a380. At an investment of $13 billion, this double-decker aircraft took more than

seven years. The Airbus A380 have become the most expensive airline tickets in the

world. While the world’s largest passenger plane is readied for its inaugural

flight, Singapore Airlines are making a killing by selling tickets on eBay. Sold to an Australian man for over $100,000 USD

The aircrafts like airbus, Boeing. Now a days aircrafts are coming with various facilities and service. Lots of people can travel in one aircraft. But problem with the aircraft is too expensive. So aviation industry facing monetary problem.

High fuel price

Rising fuel costs hit airlines hard. Fuel expenses are expected to total $61.2 billion this year, compared to $41.2 billion in 2007, according to the Air Transport Association.

A few years ago, fuel was 20 percent of an airline's cost. It's now up to 70 percent for carriers.

Its utilizes a lot of resources to do its thing fuel, rubber, metal, etc hence getting too expensive.

As fuel price have climbed, the inverse relationship between fuel prices and airline stock price has been demonstrated moreover, the rising fuel price have led to increase in the air fares.

Airlines will eventually charge fees for other luxuries and perks, like window seats, aisle seats, seats in exit rows and snacks.

Airlines may reduce the frequency of flights in the routes severely impairing India’s well developed airline network. As destinations begin to lose connectivity, passengers will either respond by reducing their frequency of air travel or choose to travel by train or buses

It is like running several airlines non-stop 24/7. Generally Airlines too are a 24-hour business. The airline industry is under extreme pressure

If they keep raising their fees to passengers then the passenger per plane ratios drop off, meaning flight are unprofitable.

High fuel price

Infrastructure

The Outlook The aviation industry in India is improving everyday. The future is bright enough as

per the experts worldwide. Here's am outlook about India aviation industry, the looking crisis, and the global response.

With the global economic recovery on the horizon, the aviation industry in India is poised for a spectacular takeoff. Unprecedented changes are anticipated in the aviation sector as the domestic passenger segment is expected to register annual growth rates of over 50% . Even the international passenger segment is slated to grow at 25% annually as per industry forecasts

The looming crisis the current situation in the industry continues to alarm policy makers, regulators

and industry leaders alike. Adding to the woes of the industry is the abysmal airport infrastructure visible in the

acute shortage of parking bays, takeoff / landing slots& air traffic control facilities Shortage of pilots, engineering, all department staffs, The recent hike in the price of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) has further added to the

anguish of the airlines as it has the potential to take the industry on a downward spiral that can prove fatal.

The industry has embarked on a cost-cutting spree and that too with a vengeance.

Cockpit

A300 A380

Cockpit information A300

The cockpit of A300 aircraft offer up a modernized approach to jetliner flight.

The two-member crew that was introduced with the A300 series has now become an industry standard arrangement.

The cockpit is dominated by no fewer than six CRT displays that provide real-time and crucial systems monitoring and work together to decrease pilot workload overall.

The cockpit can also be fitted with a communications system that allows the crew to verify with corresponding ground engineers on needed maintenance issues.

An auto land capability is also integrated in the cockpit programming to assist crews in bad-weather landings

A380 The growing numbers of pilots already

qualified on Airbus fly-by-wire aircraft will feel right at home in the A380 flight deck.

The new 525-seat Airbus airliner uses the same cockpit philosophy and operating procedures as the A320 and A330/A340 Families, while also benefiting from advances in technology for displays, flight management systems and navigation.

The A380 cockpit has eight identical large interactive displays on the main instrument panel, with cursor control provided through a track-ball.

The displays provide a much larger screen area with clearer presentations.

they are augmented by a HUD (head-up display) that increases pilot situational awareness, particularly during the approach and landing phases.
