...the market for low price short haul flights that would suit leisure and business customers. It was based on the premise that airline flights were price elastic, if you reduce the price, more people would fly. This was certainly the case for the airline. Easyjet made the choice in pursing a differentiation strategy. While, British Airways differentiated upwards during 1990’s - offering premium services (including lounges, best customer service, in-flight meals) which commanded premium prices. Easyjet differentiated downwards - taking out unnecessary services, just providing a basic A to B airline service with a smile, and thus offered flights at lower prices. Customers valued the lower prices, and the airline market expanded in the quantity of passengers as a result of this new product offering. Easyjet was particularly successful because it had tight reign on costs and overheads. It could make savings where other airlines could not. For example: i) Easyjet maximised the utilization of assets - with faster turnaround on flights ii) it only flew its aircraft point to point, with no connecting flights - thus it did not incur the costly ticketing procedures associated with flight connections iii) it had no ticketing (paperless office) - customers used e-mail reference numbers to board flights. All these aspects helped to keep its costs to the minimum. Easyjet had effective branding. The brand was developed quickly and it soon obtained recognition for...

...passengers and 492 million tons of goods. Of the 11 million passengers who climb aboard one of 8,984 trains each day, about 550,000 have reserved accommodations. Their journeys can start in any part of India and end in any other part, with travel times as long as 48 hours and distances up to several thousand kilometers. The challenge is to provide a reservation system that can support such a huge scale of operations — regardless of whether it's measured by kilometers, passenger numbers, routing complexity, or simply the sheer scale of India. The main challenges in front of the Indian railways are: • Provide a reservation system that efficiently serves more than half a million people each day • Ensure maximum uptime so reservation/ticketing/enquiry application is available 24x7 • Create a Web site that can accommodate more than one million hits per day • Punctuality of...

Southwest Airlines revolutionized the airline industry with what is known as the Southwest Effect: low cost fares, point-to-point service, “10 minute turnaround” and an enjoyable friendly atmosphere. After the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Southwest adopted a polity that irregardless of the profitability of expansion opportunities, the company wanted to commit to a manageable annual growth rate of about 10-15%. The following questions and discussion will address the historical challenges of Southwest airlines, the direction the company contemplated in 2002, and a brief look at the challenges of today. 1).
