The question can be is. How has the economy of the airline industry performed throughout the many decades it has been?

The contribution of the airline sector to the local and world economy is also another economic issue that should be noted. In UK, one of its contributions to the economy is its role in increasing jobs, whereas it was reported that aviation directly provided 180,000 jobs in the UK in 1998 - 0.8% of total employment. 40% of these jobs were in Greater London, where the industry accounted for 2.1% of all jobs (2002). This has increased over the years as attested by DfT. It reported that the aviation industry now directly supports around 200,000 jobs, and indirectly up to three times as many (2006).…

United Technologies Corporation (UTX) has 5 different major segments. These five segments can be broken down into three major industries.

In an already intensely competitive market, the ¡°inevitable¡± industry wide shakedown will have far-reaching effects on the industry's trend towards expanding domestic and international…

It is continuing to expand and has been intensely prosperous in the past 50 years due to the overall improvement in technology. The result has been a steady decline in costs and fares, which has stimulated traffic growth. This intensive traffic makes the expansion of economical development easier and it can be also considered as a crucial factor for the globalisation that is taking place in many other industries.…
Economic factors have been working in favour of the UK airline industry for a long time. Theincreasing strength of the pound against major global currencies is a boon for the UK airlineindustry. The inflationary and fluctuation tendencies of the dollar have worked to theadvantage of the UK airline industry (Keynote, 2010). However, the slowdown of thedomestic economic growth has affected the UK airline industry since it has reduced thepower of the people to use air as their preferred mode of travel. The recent global economicmeltdown hit the airline industry very hard. All major players in the UK airline industryreported massive losses during the global economic meltdown (Business Week, 2008).

In recent years, the European airline industry has exhibited impressively dynamics. The sector has gone through a drastic change on both the supply and the demand side. Unlikely in other industries, the driving forces governing the recent changes do not depend mainly on technological factors, but on developments in the legal, institutional, and cultural domains. Legal and institutional aspects have clearly affected the structure of the market, while cultural forces have influenced spatial mobility and its characteristics. On the supply side, we observe that only a few industries have faced changes as dramatic as those that have occurred in the European airline industry in the past 20 years. Over this time period, the industry has evolved from a system of longestablished state-owned carriers operating in a regulated market to a dynamic, freemarket industry. Before the deregulation, only one or two flag carriers operated the European routes, with airfares being regulated by state bilateral agreements. The process of deregulation and the subsequent process of privatization have induced important changes in the structure of the airline market. This chapter presents a concise analysis of the main characteristics and changes in the aviation sector, mainly from the supply side, which has followed the deregulation.1 The aim is to draw a new profile of the airline industry in terms of new airline business models and compare their characteristics in a way which has rarely been presented in the literature to date. Section 2.2 describes the deregulation of…
