Airline Insights is a blog that discusses Business strategies and innovations concerning the airline industry. We analyse every segment of the airline business model and the products to get a better understanding of its metrics.
Business strategy
Every airline has its own unique business strategy, sometimes they work, and sometimes they can end up in costly failures. We analyse past and present business models, highlighting new trends and technological advancements that improve strategies and product innovations.
The product offers
Full service and low-cost airlines differentiate themselves through product differentiation. What works for one airline’s market, doesn’t mean it can work for another airline. We look at trends in the market and highlight the innovative products and the failures.
Ancillary services
The low-cost airline revolution introduced ancillary services to increase overall revenues for the business. The principle business model of low-cost airlines was to unbundle air travel products. It’s been a major growth industry for airlines that we now have full-service airlines following in the footsteps of their main competition, low-cost carriers.
FinTech & technology
FinTech and technology has played an important role in the airline industry over the past decade. We now have airlines investing and even establishing FinTech schemes to source and fund innovative technologies to improve the airline business model and product offers. We look at the current innovations coming through the pipeline and analyse its projected benefits to the industry.
Aircraft news and technology
Aircraft manufacturers are constantly innovating their current products and launching new products to the airline industry. We look at the current and futures issues affecting future airline business models and the effects of innovation in the industry.
Airport infrastructure
Governments used to own and manage airports, with air travel growing year-on-year, the high costs of investing in infrastructure has forced governments to rescind management control through concessions. Today, we have a thriving airport industry with mega airports being constructed. The low-cost airline revolution has developed a new airport infrastructure through ex-military air bases. We look at the development of airline/airport partnerships and what the future holds.
