...Jet Blue Airways JetBlue Airways took to the skies in 2000 under a novel concept: bringing humanity back to air travel. Based at New York's Kennedy International Airport, JetBlue, a non-union airline, distinguished itself from other low-fare carriers such as Southwest Airlines by offering seat-back entertainment systems with live television, comfortable seats and blue corn chips. During the last six years, when traditional airlines were piling up more than $40 billion in losses, JetBlue grew to $1.7 billion in annual revenue and became increasingly popular with travelers. But now that fuel prices have pushed up expenses for all airlines, and older carriers have sharply cut their own labor costs, the advantage JetBlue enjoyed as a start-up is greatly reduced. JetBlue — too new to have built up excessive costs that can now be trimmed, is trying mightily to raise fares in a bid to restore profits after surging fuel prices caused it to lose $42.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. The trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy The airline industry is susceptible to upturns and downturns with the trends in the economy. A growing economy and booming business mean greater demand for air travel, and a slow-down in the economy means reduced demand, consequent unutilized capacity and intensified competition. The availability of venture capital and other capital sources have an impact on the number of new entrants...

...Case # 3 Jet Blue Airways Discuss the trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy Overall the US airline industry is a cut-throat business which is extremely competitive. The cliché ‘it’s a dog eat dog world’ applies perfectly here. Over the past few years the situation grew even worse due to the recession, increased unemployment, the weakened dollar exchange, and difficulty predicting how OPEC will behave month to month. The fluctuation in the oil market has a direct effect on ticket prices bought in bulk or reserved six to nine months in advance. Airline pay close attention to the oil Futures Market to make sure their purchases of fuel is hedged. Airline companies are divided into a few categories. Jet Blue is in the discount airline category, where lowering the fixed cost is an important factor. For a discount airline to offer cheaper price, services must be cut as well as the number of airports serviced. Only destinations with high volume are able to be serviced, thus a traveler may be forced to have multiple connections to reach their destination. Airplanes must be leased instead of bought to reduce the upfront cost. In-flight meals and unlimited beverages are curtailed or completely removed. The absence of complimentary cases of beer or soda cans adds to savings on gasoline as well as price per can which is factored into lowering the ticket price. Full service airlines such as Singapore and Lufthansa, cater to a...

...CRAFTING AND EXECUTING STRATEGY Professor Charles Woods Bus599 May Digby October 15, 2011 Discuss the trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy. The airline industry exists in an extremely competitive market; a market which has become even more competitive; given the current state of our economy. Airlines were faced with rising fuel costs; and decline in travel after the 9/11 attacks. This forced the airline industry to initiate cost cutting measures to be able to continue to operate. This was good news for discount airlines such as JetBlue Airways. JetBlue saw an increase in passengers; resulting in an increase in revenue. JetBlue’s strategy is to provide the passenger the ultimate air travel experience at an reasonable price. Jet Blue was able to become a leader in the airline industry by distinguishing itself from other low fare carriers by offering amenities such as; live television, leather seats and gourmet snacks. Passengers confidence in air travel was damaged greatly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. JetBlue was one of the few airlines that made a profit following the 9/11 attacks.

...Analysis of Jet Blue Airways BUS 599 October 19, 2010 Analysis of Jet Blue Airways JetBlue Airways Corporation is an American low cost airline. Since 2001, the U.S. airline industry has faced an unprecedented set of challenges. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the airline industry reported tremendous losses and several of the largest U.S. airlines filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection (Flouris, Walker, 2005). As a result, the airline industry has been more creative in their strategic marketing plans to remain financially viable. Many airlines have led the way with innovative ideas to retain, gain, and build their customer base. JetBlue Airlines has followed the path of most airlines but as one of the leading low cost air carriers, Jet Blue’s business strategy differentiates from most airlines. Trends in the U.S. Airline Industry and Impact on Strategy Trends in today’s U.S. airlines industry continue to show a drastic departure from business practices of previous years. With the constant increases in the price of conducting business, airlines are searching for ways to make or increase profit. Passengers are often charged for many amenities once offered free of charge by the airlines.

Our supply-demand model for domestic air traffic implies 14% growth in passengers as evidenced from firm aircraft orders and latest delivery schedules. With yield management becoming the singular strategy lever for Indian Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs), cost structures assume high importance and structural asymmetries will decide the competitive edge for the airlines. However, much of these asymmetries in cost structure are inherited from the fleet strategy adopted by various airlines, hence normally have a long-lasting impact on their balance sheets. High operating leverage proves fatal in a cyclical downturn where balance sheet strength is vital. At the comfort of hindsight, bulk orders have benefitted IndiGo with valuable incentives, which have given it the structural advantage of lower rentals, while single fleet focus and strong balance sheet have lent IndiGo asymmetrical advantages on maintenance costs, redelivery expenses and supplementary rentals...

...First Day on the Job Prepared by: Ana Milori Submitted to: Professor Catherine Klinger Strategic Human Resource Managament Strayer University February 26, 2012 Abstract Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation or aptitude, although it is clearly linked. Job design aims to enhance job satisfaction and performance. Methods include job rotation, enlargement, enrichment and re-engineering. Other influences on satisfaction include the management style and culture, employee involvement, empowerment and autonomous work position. Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations. The most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales where employees report their reactions to their jobs. Questions relate to rate of pay, work responsibilities, variety of tasks, promotional opportunities, the work itself and co-workers. Some questioners ask yes or no questions while others ask to rate satisfaction on 1-5 scale (where 1 represents "not at all satisfied" and 5 represents "extremely satisfied”). Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory, laid the foundation for job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek to satisfy five specific needs in...

...POSITION PAPER ON THE AIRPORTS SECTOR IN INDIA May 2009 Department of Economic Affairs Ministry of Finance Government of India AIRPORTS SECTOR EXISTING SCENARIO 1. The civil aviation traffic has seen an unprecedented traffic in the past few years on account of booming Indian economy, growing tourism industry, entry of low cost carriers in the private sector, liberalization of international bi-lateral agreements and liberalization of civil aviation policy. In future also the civil aviation traffic is expected to grow at the same pace despite current slowdown due to global recession. But airport infrastructure has not kept pace with the growth of the civil aviation traffic. This has resulted in congestion and inefficient services in major airports, limited landing slots, inadequate parking bays and congestion during peak hours for airlines. Development of quality infrastructure will have an impact on international competitiveness and economic growth. This requires faster development of civil aviation infrastructure on public private partnership mode. In tune with the requirement many initiatives have already been started in the 10th five year plan and they are expected to continue in the 11th plan also. 2. Of a total number of 454 airports and airstrips in India, 16 are designated as international airports. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) owns and operates 97 airports. A recent report by Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) states that over the next 12 years...
