    1. Reasons that Airbus interested in A3XX  A Revolution Adventure -- The first objective of this project is to fill the market gap by introducing a new type of aircraft. Airbus, with A3XX under the plan, is stepping into an area that Boeing has rarely touched, the very large aircraft (VLA) market. If Airbus well forecasts the future market, A3XX will be the flagship in a new airline revolution. Capturing more than half the VLA market with A3XX, Airbus would constitute an enormous financial success and achieve the ultimate objective-- the leader of commercial aviation industry.  Abundant Financial Resources and Developed Technologies -- Airbus possesses abundant funding resources and cutting-edge technologies which could substantially reduce the training cost. Airbus was prepared to receive around $4 billion development loans from the British, French, German and Spanish governments, repayable from sales revenue. Together with contributions from risk-sharing partners and its own shareholders, Airbus has no need to worry about its financial resources and thus can concentrate on the production and sale of A3XX. In addition, the well-developed aircraft technologies such as fly-by-wire technology, fight deck design, and performance characteristics that are common across the Airbus family pave the way for the A3XX’s development and potential market.  Favorable factors from Context Analysis -- Needs for travelling and cargo transportation are essential parameters which airlines have to take into consideration; hence, they are also vital determinants of demand for commercial aircrafts. According to Airbus’s Global Market Forecast (GMF), air transportation industry is expected to grow at 4.9% annually. This continuous growth demand of the flight market can offer Airbus Company a sound support to launch new types of planes. In…

    In fierce competition with Boeing, venture into VLA segment – as a rather neglected segment by Boeing – could pose as a strategic opportunity for Airbus which it could utilize to build a competitive advantage combined with its technological resources and capabilities. However, its assumptions of a drastic increase in VLAs demanded in next 20 years along with its ability to satisfy most of this are too optimistic. Provided that these assumptions (inc. breakeven points, initial order requirements) are normalized, A3XX is a project worthy to pursue for Airbus in order to exploit a neglected spot on the perceptional map – long-haul + big capacity. When we hold the market itself continues to grow as proposed in the case, this can be win-win case for Boeing as well, which can concentrate on its existing operations.…

    Based on an Airbus study, an average annual growth of 4.9% across the world would lead to a demand “for 14,661 new passenger aircraft and 703 new air freighters over the 20 year period through 2019”. Of the new passenger aircraft projected demand 727 would be for aircraft seating 400-500 passengers and 1,550 (1235 passenger planes, 315 cargo planes) aircraft seating 500 or more passengers. However, Boeing projected a demand for 600 VLA’s with 270 being cargo planes and 330 being passenger aircraft. Boeing’s study also predicted that the majority of the demand would not materialize for at least 10 years. An independent third party projected demand would fall in between the numbers Airbus and Boeing presented.…

    The history of the Philippines is believed to have begun with the arrival of the first humans using rafts or primitive boats, at least 67,000 years ago as the 2007 discovery of Callao Man showed.[1] The first recorded visit from the West is the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan, who sighted the island of Samar Island on March 16, 1521 and landed on Homonhon Island (now part of Guiuan, Eastern Samar province) the next day. Homonhon Island is southeast of Samar Island. Before Magellan arrived, Negrito tribes inhabited the isles, who were subsequently joined and largely supplanted by migrating groups of Austronesians. This population had stratified into hunter-gatherer tribes, warrior societies, petty plutocracies and maritime-oriented harbor principalities which eventually grew into kingdoms, rajahnates, principalities, confederations and sultanates. The Philippine islands were greatly influenced by Hindu religions, literature and philosophy from India in the early centuries of the Christian era.[3] States included the Indianized Rajahnate of Butuan and Cebu, the dynasty of Tondo, the august kingdoms ofMaysapan and Maynila, the Confederation of Madyaas, the sinified Country of Mai, as well as the Muslim Sultanates of Sulu andMaguindanao. These small maritime states flourished from the 1st millennium.[4][5] These kingdoms traded with what are now called China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.[6] The remainder of the settlements were independent Barangays allied with one of the larger states. Spanish colonization and settlement began with the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition on February 13, 1565 who established the first permanent settlement of San Miguel on the island of Cebu.[7] The expedition continued northward reaching the bay of Manila on the island of Luzon on June 24, 1571,[8] where they established a new town and thus began an era of Spanishcolonization that…

    Since without aircraft, airlines could not function, aircraft become a major resource for any airline company. For instance the airplanes we own or the in-flight magazine offered during flights. We started with 3 Beechcrafts 1900 that had 19 seats each. However, we decided to sell the three Beechcraft 1900 due the fact that the Beechcrafts 1900 were not up to date, they were 17 years old and bought second-hand. In addition, because of the fact that we are a mid-class airline and the Beechcraft 1900 are more appropriate for low budget flights.Therefore, we bought new planes, namely four Embraer Brasilia’s that have seats for 30 passengers and can fly more miles than the…

    When dealing with the SARS crisis in 2003, SIA took action not only in changing their long standing policy of not retrenching staff unless necessary, to laying off 414 local employees so as to cut cost after already having staff take a 11% pay cut and taking a 24 day unpaid leave per year. This was to ‘reduce staff costs and increase its (SIA) competitiveness in a rapidly changing industry,’ said Loh Meng See, the airline senior vice-president for human resources. With the financial year for 2003 starting off on a bad note, the further detrimental effects of the SARS crisis has forced Singapore Airlines to do what was necessary, to adapt to the environment and change in order to keep up and stay afloat.…
