Abstract
This paper examines Delta Airlines's financial and marketing goals and notes how the financial objectives are closely linked to the marketing goals. The paper looks at how Delta focuses on the needs and wants of its customers, as well as how it has been financially affected by the September 11 terrorist attacks. The paper also discusses the areas that Delta intends to target for marketing purposes and where it faces the greatest competition.
From the Paper
"The company?s financial objectives and goals are closely linked to its marketing plan. Vicki Escarra, Chief Marketing Officer of Delta Airlines says that the company?s singular dedication to the needs and wants of consumers has allowed Delta to survive and thrive in the most difficult market environments (Morris, 2002). One event that shook Delta and the rest of the airlines was the terrorist activities of September 11th. Increased expenses due to security training, cockpit door reinforcement, and insurance costs dramatically altered the airline?s fixed overhead costs."

From the Paper
"In terms of growth and development after the formation of the new companies for Malaysia and Singapore, the Malaysia Airlines part of it has run into serious trouble, and was totally reorganized into a new structure of the group on 30th July, 2002. The aim was to preserve the existence of the national carrier through financial restructuring. This reorganization was finally accepted on 5th November, 2002 and applied on 6th November after approvals from the shareholders, the Securities Commission, the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and the Foreign Investment Committee. The process of reorganization separated the balance sheet and the operations and transferred the liabilities on the 73 planes with a supposed value of 5.109 billion Malaysian dollars and related liabilities of 6.966 billion dollars to a new company called Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad or PMB."

Abstract
This paper begins by suggesting that the formation of the European Union opened new opportunities for companies in the region to form bonds and expand their businesses. The paper looks at the effect the merger will have on airline ticket prices overall and the viability of the smaller, no-frills airlines. The writer also explores the effect on the market of the apparently contradictory actions of the EU commissioners at the time of the merger to assess the timing of the approval of the AirFrance/KLM merger and determine what the role of the regulatory bodies might have been in the final result for the air travel industry and its stakeholders.
From the Paper
"With the merger of Air France and KLM, Europe?s second and fourth largest carriers. Europe will be home to the world?s largest airline in terms of revenue. Historically, mergers of this kind have benefited shareholders; they have not benefited many other stakeholders including employees and smaller competitors. (Kim and Singal, 1993) With an avowed intention to become the largest airline in the world, low-coast carrier Ryanair stands to be one of the smaller companies hurt by this merger, as does another no-frills airline, easyJet. The merger was approved by the commissioners of the European Union prior to the very recent and substantial changes made in the way such mergers are viewed and approved, or not. In addition, the merger was approved on the heels of an Air France complaint about tax usage in indirect support of Ryanair?s hub at Charleroi Airport, serving Brussels."

Abstract
This paper examines how the airline industry is feeling several pressures, some having to do with the events in New York City on September 11, 2001, and some having to do with the sluggish global economy. It looks at how the U.S. sector of the global industry is suffering some effects of the war in Iraq and how the U.S. airline industry continues to struggle with some relatively persistent problems, such as patchwork regulation and labor disputes. It also explores how the emergence of the European Commission as a controlling force in the airline industry has caused problems for some airlines there in terms of regulatory issues. In particular, it attempts to show how Aer Lingus seems to have discovered a way to rise from the ashes of its own former management and the global situation.

From the Paper
"In addition to the events of 9/11, the U.S. airline industry was already blaming its problems on deregulation, which they claimed made problems for operations, but also for passengers. Before 1979, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) controlled which routes airlines flew and what ticket prices they could charge. The intention was to serve the public interest. Deregulation threw the U.S. airline industry, without benefit of government supports as much of its European counterpart enjoyed at the time, into a Darwinian ?survival of the fittest? mode. In addition, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOD) also permitted any airline that met minimal standards to fly on any domestic route. (Gowrisankaran, 2002)"

Abstract
This paper explores the extent to which US Airways was affected by the events of September 11 and the restructuring strategies it has begun to implement in an attempt to recover from bankruptcy and economic ruin. The reasons for the airline's economic decline are stated, and the measures implemented in order to improve liquidity, increase revenues, and reduce costs, while simultaneously taking advantage of competitive strengths are outlined, as well.
From the Paper
"One of the principal certified air carriers in the US for transport of passengers, property and mail is US Airways. They have a code sharing arrangement with nine other air carriers to operate under the joint trade name ?US Airways Express?. These airlines include Allegheny, piedmont, PSA and Potomac. This airline serves nearly 200 cities in the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean and is the 7th largest airline in the United States. The airline filed for bankruptcy protection on August 11th, 2002 and was the first among the airlines to seek bankruptcy protection. This was the first filing of bankruptcy protection by a major airline since the attacks of September 11th. Of course, the attack of September 11th has triggered a financial crisis in the entire industry."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of how Jet Blue Airways exists in the current aviation market. The paper explains its marketing strategy, its customer service policy, and the technological advantages it possesses over its competitors.
From the Paper
"With the turn of the century, the situation in the world commercial travel market has been steadily declining for the airlines. The airlines are making less profit and the passengers are also traveling much less. This has affected the airlines, as they still have to meet the high costs of repaying the purchase costs of the planes and the lease costs at the airports. Along with that they also have to meet a high cost for the labor contracts. During the period of 1990-2000, the wages had been rising at a high rate, faster than the rise in air travel rates. Thus the growth in expense for the airlines was faster than the rise in fares and most of the world?s airlines are deep in the red and are approaching bankruptcy-seeking protection. On top of all these woes, the events of 9/11 have added to their problems."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while many people contributed to the birth of aviation in America, most of them are known to the public. Henry Ford also made a significant contribution, and the paper pays tribute to this. The writer shows how Ford laid many of the building blocks required for commercial aviation as we know them today: communication links, runways, airports, and finally, the all-metal aircraft with the Ford Tri-motor. The Ford Tri-motor became one of the world?s first successful passenger airliners.
From the Paper
"The Ford Tri-motor planes were produced during the 1920?s and the 1930?s. At that time, they were for a wide variety purposes. William B. Stout, an engineer and also a very bold and daring salesman scouted and reviewed designs for aircraft engines. He, however, required funding and approached many of the leading businessmen like Ford and Edsel. He managed to collect $20,000 to start the aircraft project. The Stout Metal Airplane Company developed the first Tri-motor airplane in the early 1925. The first model was known as the 2-AT Pullman and was a single engine plane. Ford acquired the Stout Metal Airplane Company in August 1925 and subsequently designed the 3-AT, which was not a successful plane."

Abstract
A thorough business analysis of Southwest Airlines. It begins with a thorough company history, from its early start to recent times. It then provides a financial analysis of the company, including graphs and tables. The paper then provides a SWOT analysis of the company and examines its competitive advantages and disadvantages.
From the Paper
"In 1978, the airline deregulation act enabled airlines to set their own fares and enter or exit routes without government approval (Lam, 2003). The major airlines responded by dropping the unprofitable routes, in favor of the more profitable ones that were the long haul flights between big cities. Short haul flights still operated, but only as feeder flights to the major airports where the long haul flights departed from. In many cases, passengers had to fly short haul to a hub airport, then connect to another hub airport and take another flight to reach their final destination."
