Debt Laden Air India Case Study
To be sure, it will not be easy for the government to privatize the debt-laden Air India. It will have to work with professionals and investment bankers to find ways and make the deal reasonably attractive for a prospective buyer. It will have to bring down the level of debt in the company. This can possibly be done by selling non-core assets. For example, one of its subsidiaries—the Hotel Corporation of India—runs hotels which can be sold to reduce debt.

    South West Airlines Case Study

    Southwest Airlines has been a cost leader in the airline industry with continuous growth and profits for the past 35 years. It has been the fourth largest domestic carrier with low priced routes and a no frills policy - free of in-flight meals and baggage transfers. The low cost fares, almost comparable to automobile transportation costs, have created both an unprecedented growth and new markets for this airline. Southwest was able to achieve this cost leadership by sticking to its strategy of exclusively selecting point-to-point high consumer demand routes as opposed to a traditional hub-and-spoke model of routing used by most large carriers. Also its routes operate between low traffic secondary airports to reduce the gate fee and congestion of the major airports. The airline only flies one type of aircraft, Boeing 737, to control maintenance, training and spare part costs. Southwest always emphasized caring for its employees by offering them company profit sharing, encouraging employee participation and creativity, and going with long-term union contracts. Southwest was the first to create an internet-based reservation system as opposed to using traditional travel agencies. Its reservation-less first come first serve seating allowed them to achieve a fast turnaround between the flight arrival and departure times, thus keeping the flights in the air for longer. Finally, Southwest executed aggressive fuel hedging to wither the continuous fuel price increases and thus lowering the operating fuel costs to be the lowest in the industry.…

    DEBATE - Ghana International Airlines can only be saved through divestiture

    Deducing from this, we realize that the Ghanaian Government had an upper hand with a higher portion of the shares and thus the higher say or voice when it comes to management decisions. Our only National Carrier - GIA (Accra) suspended operations on April 29, 2010 stranding passengers. Why? Because Astraeus Airlines pulled back its leased aircraft due to our unpaid debts. GIA never had its own air plane. The company was using a leased air plane. The owners of the leased air plane had to finally take it back after GIA didn’t prove to have the capacity of paying back anytime sooner. But, can our National Airline be saved only through divestiture? NO!…
