Download or read book WOW and SkyTeam Cargo An In depth Analysis of Strategic Alliances for Air Cargo Carriers and The Impact on Cargo Airlines Operations and Success written by Florian Smeritschnig and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the airline industry, the formation of highly integrated strategic alliances started during the 1990’s. Thereby, Star Alliance became the first global player when passenger airlines faced deregulation, and wanted to support their growth and expansion in international markets. For cargo companies, this type of integration came around later, namely in the beginning of 2000. As a result of the increased co-operation, major alliances were formed with the launch of SkyTeam Cargo and WOW. In the dawn of the new century, these alliances should lay the cornerstone for the achievement of a long term success through synergy effects, and higher competitiveness in terms of the individual and the group. A decade later, WOW and SkyTeam Cargo have evolved in different directions but, not all members or ex-members are pleased about the results. Strategic alliances in air transport have been studied widely but, most of the recent publications only cover the passenger side in this business. There are a lot of information and statements about the benefits that alliances can bring to ist members. But, the review of the literature shows that research is very sparse when it comes down to the evaluation of the actual impact of alliance integration on air cargo carriers’ standing. The objective of this book is to analyze and interpret the impact of a strategic alliance on cargo airlines’ revenue-tonne-kilometres key figures (provided by Airline Business 1998-2010), and market share developments. The author’s aim is on the one hand, to answer the question if air cargo operators did profit from alliance integration, and on the other hand, to give the reasons for this development. Besides, the book gives an overview about the market’s environment, the characteristics of air freight, and the history of WOW and SkyTeam Cargo. Further, the additional questions are discussed in detail: • How did carriers react to the challenges and opportunities in the market? • What are the main benefits or disadvantages for alliance members? • What major challenges do (prospective) members face in an alliance? • What are the core arrangements and prerequisites for alliance integration? • Is there a common success, are there stability factors and why do alliances fail? • What alternatives are there to alliance formation

Book excerpt: "This paper began with a brief history of the development of the airplane and the airline industry in the United States and Europe. Use of aircraft for mail delivery and passenger travel was discussed as well as political environments and stages of development which led to the emergence of airlines themselves. As airlines developed and international travel became common, international political considerations of this activity were examined. This activity impacted the development of use of strategic alliances in the airline industry. Market-based economics were discussed, and the permitted level of cooperative effort among the airlines was examined from a historical and current point of view. To determine the impact of strategic alliances in the air transport industry, a detailed examination of the structure and operational aspects of two member airlines in a newly formed alliance was conducted using historical and current information from industry sources in English and French. Each member airline, Delta Air Lines, and Air France, was examined with comparative reasoning in order to evaluate their operations in a standardized fashion. The analysis chapter, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategic alliances the member airlines had formed, was conducted using objective, industry-wide criteria. This analysis led to a conclusion that strategic alliances in the air transport industry are beneficial and essential to provide an Anywhere to Everywhere service to customers."--Abstract

Download or read book Air Cargo in Mainland China and Hong Kong written by Anming Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air traffic and the aviation industry have grown rapidly on the Chinese mainland in the two and a half decades since China's open door policy. Accession to the WTO will further stimulate trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), intensifying the demand for air cargo services. It will also open up the Chinese economy to foreign participation in the transportation and logistics sectors, making these sectors more competitive and efficient. This book provides a systematic and comprehensive study of China's air cargo industry as well as its policy evolution. It covers the sources and destinations of air cargo in mainland China and Hong Kong: whence it comes and where it goes to. The major hubs of the transportation network - Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou - are discussed one by one. The virtual aspects of the network at these hubs in terms of IT applications, preparedness, and needs are examined and compared. Though the subject matter of this book is air cargo, there is considerable coverage of the aviation industry and policy on the mainland and Hong Kong. Changes have been happening so fast there are few books and publications that cover them systematically and comprehensively. Readership includes business executives in airfreight companies, airports and airlines, logistics specialists, aviation university lecturers and students.

Download or read book The Geographies of Air Transport written by Dr Lucy Budd and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making a detailed contribution to geographies of air transport and aeromobility, this book examines the practices and processes that produce particular patterns of air transport provision both regionally and globally. In so doing, it updates the seminal contributions of Eva Taylor (1945), Kenneth Sealy (1957), Brian Graham (1995) and others to the study of air transport geography. Leading scholars in the field offer a unique insight into the key developments that have occurred in the field and the implications that these developments have had for geography, geographers, and global patterns of past, present and future air transport. Although globalization and liberalization processes have greatly expanded the demand for air transport over the last two decades, the industry has experienced several major setbacks due to economic, security, and environmental concerns. Many of these impacts have been much more pronounced in some regions, such as North America and Europe while others, such as Asia-Pacific have not been as adversely affected. Accordingly, there is a clear need to examine these recent economic and geopolitical changes from a geographical perspective given the differentiated pattern of effects from global processes. Addressing this need, this volume opens with thematic chapters covering key topics such as the historical geographies, socio-cultural mobilities, environmental externalities, urban geographies, and sustainability of the global air transport industry, followed by regional analysis of the industry in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Greater Middle East and Africa as well as North America and Europe.
