Description:

Winning Airlines: Productivity and Cost Competitiveness of the World's Major Airlines examines the supply side of air transport services, where airline management has considerable control. This volume focuses on fundamental issues related to productivity, input prices, exchange rate dynamics, global sourcing of airline labor, maintenance and other services, and unit cost competitiveness of the airlines. It also examines underlying trends in the airline industry and provides systematic analysis of airline productivity and cost competitiveness using the latest available data. Winning Airlines: Productivity and Cost Competitiveness of the World's Major Airlines aims to accomplish four major goals: to provide a review of trends in international air transport's regulatory and business environments; to provide practical insights into the key issues determining airline cost and productivity performance; to improve existing methodologies for comparing the productivity and cost competitiveness of various airlines; and to identify aspects of airline strategy, planning and operations where airlines management and public policy makers should focus their efforts to enhance competitiveness in the globalizing airline markets.
