The airline industry is a very important segment of the transport sector. This commercial activity allows passengers to carry a few hours and on routes that are negotiated. It began to be used by the rich businessmen, politicians and by individuals.
Air transport is used in other important sectors such as health or major accounts that use a device that is purchased or leased. The airline industry brings together companies and also individuals who use the aircraft as a professional tool, by having a private fleet, with skilled operators.
But this activity is strongly dependent on the resilience of the global economy. Thus, this sector has suffered from depression for years and the events of September 11th, 2001.
The year 2008 marked the beginning of a sharp decline in growth with the financial crisis, which should get better in 2010 with strong growth and an estimated global need for 6800 new aircraft, which is more than 600 aircrafts per year. This is twice the level of the last ten years.
A pioneer in the development of air transport, Airbus is sharing the market with seven major manufacturers such as Cessna, Bombardier, Embraer, Gulfstream and Raytheon Aircraft. The sector is promising, but will all the companies make it to the place? What direction will the aviation market take?
The stakes in this sector are set to meet demand (reduce the time, and expectations in equipment and innovation etc.) while gaining market share in a market where competition is fierce. Success lies in the strategic issues adopted by the operators.
To lead the aviation sector analysis, we present a diagnostic macro environmental sector, followed by a micro environmental analysis to highlight the intensity of competition. Finally, we will study the strategic positions and winning strategies of airlines, to make recommendations for future policy.
