Porter five forces of AirAsia

Rivalry among existing competitor
Air Asia offers flights with lower price that other companies, but there are some companies that also offer service by the same price such as Malindo Air and Firefly and also these companies provide service with the same level of Air Asia so, in this case rivalry among existing competitor is high.

Threat of substitutes
We can define substitutes as a product or service that can be replaced with original product and give more satisfaction to customers. In airline industry these substitutes exist, For example if someone wants to go to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur can choose bus or train. As we know the bus is the cheapest transportation so customer prefers bus. But if we assume that customer wants to go to Australia airline is a good choice and by access internet customers will compare prices and choose the more reasonable for themselves in such a case threat of substitutes is moderate to Air Asia

Power of buyer
Success of industry can influenced by buyer. So, which companies offer better service to their customers , they are winner of the competition. Air Asia has lower price with better services than others, so it can be a good choice for customer. Power of buyer is a quite high to Air Asia.

Power of supplier
Every industry has some suppliers these suppliers have their own effect on the industry for airlines. There are only two options Boeing and Airbus. All airline company have the same situation. Both of them provide almost same standards aircraft and hence switching to Air Asia is low. Moreover Air Asia place order form Airbus to expend its routs to international routes so power of supplier may be reduced as Airbus's profit may be influenced by Air Asia . Generally power of supplier is a quit moderate to Air Asia
Threat of entrants
Setting up airline industry needs a high capital so it has high barriers, for example purchase aircraft, set up services, hire staff and….

As one of the mission statements of AirTran focuses on the service quality and the safety of the customers, AirTran is trying to create brand loyalty and increase customer satisfaction.

    Power of Suppliers

    Another force is power of suppliers. Power of the suppliers is important as it will affect the industry. In airline industry, the power of suppliers is quite high since there are only two major suppliers which are Airbus and Boeing hence there are not many choices to airline industry. Nevertheless, the global economic crisis has limited the new entrant and also reducing the upgrade of planes in the immediate future. However, both suppliers provide almost same standard aircraft and hence the switching to Air Asia is low. The supplier of airline companies is the fuel supplier, food supplier, merchandise supplier and aircraft supplier. Other supplier like foods supplier and fuel supplier, the term of the supply must be based on the market condition. Hence, the supplier cannot increase too much of its price or risk losing long term business with the aircraft companies. Besides that, Airasia has high switching costs. Most of Airasia’s aircraft are Airbus models. Previously, the company used Boeing models, which they lease it and the company had since phased out most of the models and replace with Airbus. If Airasia is to switch to Boeing again, then the cost will be high. This is because training cost for employees to suit the aircraft features must be provided. Furthermore, the technology used by Airbus is the most advanced, thus Airasia must rely to the Airbus’ engineers to do maintenance of the aircrafts and seek advices. if the Airbus does not to cooperate with Air Asia, Air Asia will not have no suppliers to do the maintenance.nThus, bargaining power of suppliers is…

    INDUSTRY BACKGROUND Airline Industry The airline industry is very competitive with existing airlines having to compete with each other as well as with new entrants from time to time. For every success such as Singapore Airlines and Southwest Airlines, there are plenty of failures such as Pan Am, TWA, Swissair, Sabena, Ansett, People Express, Go, Buzz and so on. Major Characteristics There are three major characteristics of the airline industry namely its product nature, its expenditure structure and its market entry conditions. Airlines’ product is homogeneous or undifferentiated, causing significant competition in markets, which are free from regulations and economic barriers. High capital and operating expenditure is another important characteristic of the airline industry. Aircrafts, airlines’ major capital expenditure, are very costly to acquire. For operating expenditures, aviation fuel and labour make up the two major costs in the industry. Another important…

    • 7 Pages

    Air Asia needs no introduction in ASEAN, where it is the leading low-cost carrier, connecting people and places across 132 routes, 40 of which are offered by no other airline. In 2010, the Group, which includes affiliates Air Asia Thailand and Air Asia Indonesia, reinforced its leadership position with two remarkable milestones: flying its 100 millionth guest and breaking the RM1 billion(ringgit) profit barrier. From an airline with two aircraft plying six routes in Malaysia in January 2002, Air Asia has soared in the last nine years to cover 65 destinations in 18 countries. Today, employing more than 8,000 staff and with a market capitalisation of just over RM7.06 billion (as at 31 December 2010), it is the only Truly ASEAN airline, serving the region's 600 million population from 10 hubs in three countries- Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia.

    AirAsia is a Malaysian low-cost airline headquartered in Kuala Lumpur. It has been named as the world's best low-cost airline and a pioneer of low-cost travel in Asia. AirAsia group operates scheduled domestic and international flights to 78 destinations spanning 25 countries. Its main hub is the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Recently, AirAsia Group is buying another 100 Airbus planes for US$9.4bil as it steps up its expansion in the core markets of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia and pushes ahead into the new markets of Japan and the Philippines. However, the entering of Malindo Air in the Malaysian’s aviation industry as a new low-cost airline might be a threat to AirAsia. Now, the entry of Malindo Air would enhance competition with other low-cost carrier that operates in Malaysia especially Air Asia. Before the entry of Malindo Air, Malaysian’s aviation sector is monopolised by Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia. Now the market needs to be shared by the three airlines thus will increase in excess capacity which could lead the airlines having loss. Thus, is it appropriate AirAsia’s decision to purchase another 100 planes when the market may be turning?…

    I choose Air Asia Company. Air Asia is a Malaysian low-cost airline and the headquartered is near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Air Asia was established in 1994 and began operation on 18th November 1996. It was founded by a government-owned conglomerate DRB-Hicom. Its hubs are in Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2. AirAsia is very first budget or low cost carrier (LCC). It is co-founded in Malaysia by two prominent entrepreneurs, Mr. Tony Fernandes and Mr. Kamaruddin Meranun, which have spotted business opportunity arising from the inexistence of the much needed affordable air travel service in Asia. Mr. Fernandes and Mr. Meranun acquired the then loss-making full carrier AirAsia in 2001 from a government-owned company and transformed it into a profitable LCC. Current AirAsia imitates the low-cost airline business model first introduced by Southwest Airlines Co (Southwest), the pioneer of LCC business.…
