Importance of Capital Investment for Airlines
Capital investment projects for an airline are the most important financial decisions and expenses made by airlines because capital investment projects involve a significant amount of money, the investment project duration is more than a year, and most often involves several years. If the airline makes a poor capital investment decision it can have a disastrous effect on the Airline and can even cause the Airline to bankrupt, as the Airline will lose a great sum of money. The 2004 financial Operational Highlights for the U. S Airline Industry indicate that the Return on Investment was as follows:
