Case Study US-Airline Since the deregulation of the U.S. airline industry in 1978, a substantial number of new carriers emerged; particularly those following a low cost strategy. Given those airlines’ rapid growth and market success the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) already identified a so called `low cost airline service revolution’ back in 1997. Almost fifteen years after the drafting of the DOT report, the low cost airline service revolution has not only continued – reflected in an increase of the domestic passenger market share from about 13 percent in 1997 to about 28 percent in 2009 – but also led to a substantial rise in the competitive interaction between network carriers and low cost carriers. Against this background of a substantial and further increasing relevance of low cost carriers, the paper aims at developing a comprehensive perspective of the evolution of the domestic U.S. airline industry in recent years. We find that network carriers (NWCs) und low-cost carrier (LCCs) each entered about 1,200 non-stop routes between 1996 and 2009.
In 2003, WestJet added service to the new markets of Halifax, Windsor, Montreal, St. John’s, and Gander. As the Canadian airline market evolved, WestJet looked to continue its growth and found an opportunity to expand its routes into the United States. Transborder service commenced in the fall of 2004 to the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, and New York, and service to Palm Springs began in 2005. With its focus on safety, high-efficiency structure, motivated personnel, and customer service, WestJet, is now the second largest airline in Canada flying to 35 Canadian and U.S. destinations as well as offering charter operations sun-destinations in the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean. By 2016, WestJet intends to be one of the five most successful international airlines in the world.
To maximize aircraft utilization, we look for opportunities to operate our fleet in off-peak times when the aircraft would otherwise be idle, to serve markets that may not be as time sensitive or may be better served by evening flights. Through our network and competitive fares, we aim to stimulate demand from guests who would not otherwise travel or from guests who would select another airline. We estimate that when we enter a new market the net effect to that market is an overall increase in traffic. This means we are often able to create new demand. As our Boeing 737 fleet continues to expand and we begin introducing our new Bombardier Q400, we expect that we will be able to establish additional profitable routes in Canada, the U.S. and internationally.
For instance, investment in the domestic renewable energy industry and the weatherizing of 75 percent of federal buildings along with more than one million private homes around the country is planned.

The internet provides more communication, and allows firms to operate annually. Air travel achieves connectivity as larger aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 can carry more passengers and provide cheaper flights and global tourism. GIS/GPS satellites allow information to pass around the world. Rail increases more connectivity such as high speed rail link such as the TGV in France, and the Japan bullet train makes travel much faster. All these factors ‘shrinks’ the world and makes it more connected.
In the last couple of years, it has significantly increased its global presence. As it grows its business rapidly in different parts of the world, it also presents excellent global opportunities at the same time. Even though I excel in the technical skills that have helped me to reach where I am now, honestly speaking I need a moment to rediscover and rebuild myself to take that next significant leap in my career to senior management.
