THE STRATEGIC DIAGNOSIS:
EMIRATES AIRLINES
Nowadays, we cannot imagine the world without the airline industry, because of its fast services and huge benefits, which offers for many other industries and societies. Also, its role is critical in term of creating the new global economy. According to the U.S.
department of transport, this industry is divided into four categories:
1. International: Airlines which provide services from continent to another.
2. National: within a country
3. Regional: within the geographical region. They focus on short hauls flights.
4. Cargo: airlines that provides goods transportation
Today, the airline industry is one of the most important industries, because it is supporting the internationalization and globalization objectives for many businesses around the globe. This need
creates big pressure on the plains producers and all other suppliers of airline companies. Also, it drives them to increase investments, inventions and innovations to satisfy their partners’ expectations by delivering their satisfaction.

The “New York Times” mentioned: “Emirates’ growing reach, from its Dubai hub, is unnerving rivals like Lufthansa and Air France”. In this paper, I am analyzing the competition between Emirates Airlines and Air France; Air France is one of the sky team’s founders, which
is a carrier network of 19 international carriers and for this reason, I decided to analyze the competition between Air France and Emirates Airline with its independent growing strategy, because the carrier network companies cooperate on a substantial level and there is no real competition between them.
