Spirit Airline: A Comparative Analysis
According to Spirit Airline said that customers embrace unbundling in exchange for low air fares and more choice. As noted, customers are learning to change their behavior as a result – fees imposed by airlines for checking in at the desk can be avoided by passengers who check in online. Airlines say that this also keeps their airports costs down, which in turn helps to keep fares low (Ancillary services and the travel agent: The opportunities ahead, 2012).

IdeaWorks also points out that baggage service has improved by around 50% since baggage fees became standard practice for US airlines in 2007/8. Ideaworks argues that when passengers are recompensing, they assume an enhanced service, which airlines deliver in return for the profits. In-flight

    In the early 1990s, the airline industry suffered a serious threat, caused by high fuel costs and a decline in air travel. At that time, only few airlines with low price of fare, such as Southwest airline, were able to make profit.(Hoover, 2010) Thus, the executives of Westjet decided to follow Southwest airline’s business model, which featured a low cost, high efficiency structure. To be highly efficient, Westjet limits itself to have less frequency of flight and services, compared to other competitors so it can pass the lower cost benefit to its users. Westjet used various methods to reduce costs. For instance, the company specialized in the Boeing 737 for the purpose of…

    Luxury Market

    • 10 Pages

    The recent growth in the luxury car market in India is much more than mere market dynamics in a particular car segment. It is a reflection of the changing lifestyle of the affluent class in the country. In India, the luxury car segment (Average Price 25-30 Lakh) has been growing at an average rate of 20% or above during recent years; it seems to be least affected by the global financial crisis. During worst recession period when world was facing low market demand trends, Indian luxury car segment grew at 23% to 6,671 vehicles according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) despite a 0.5% decline in passenger car sales, to 11.04 lakh vehicles (April-December 2008 Report). But financial year ended March 2010 has shown growth of automotive sector up by 25% to 15.26 lakh vehicles. This indicates optimistic sign of recovery of sector. While the Indian auto industry is expected to grow at 17% to 19% on an average, sales of luxury and super-luxury cars are expected to grow exponentially. Luxury car segment accounts only for 3-4% of total car sales in India. But what lures the international majors is the fact that this segment is growing at 25%-plus (2009 sales), much higher than 15-17% growth registered by the small passenger car segment over the past few years. This growth of luxury car sales is driven majorly by increased wealth-creation within average Indian population and the desire of individuals to join the millionaire-club by flaunting their wealth. Growth of Indian economy has been faster than other emerging economies during recent times. Globally, India had the highest growth-rate (22.7%) of millionaire population during the year 2007. India added 23,000 millionaires from 2006 to 2007, taking total figure to around 123,000 millionaires; wealth as measured in US Dollars (Merrill Lynch Cap Gemini Report). However, during recession, the country noticed a decline of 31.6% in…
