Indian Airline Industry
The history of Indian Airline goes back to 1910 when the young Maharaja of Patiala, Bhupinder Singh sends his Chief Engineer to Europe for a study with orders to buy three planes, including a Bleriot monoplane and Farman biplanes, which arrive in the Punjab later that year.
The first commercial flight starts on February 18, 1911 when Henry Piquate, flayed a Humber Biaplane to carry mall from Allahabad to Naini Junction, six miles away.

    It was in 1919 when the first British airline was established, the Aircraft Transport and Travel. British Airways first scheduled flight was in August 25th 1919, and its route was Le Bourget - Honslow. The airport was the home of the airline. Later two other airlines were established, the Instone and the Handley Page. These companies had to face many difficulties and also had to face the competition of French airlines with lower fares. In 1976, Concorde started flying with British airways, and the company had a big fleet of planes. In the early 80’s, British Airways faced some serious economic problems but measures were taken and in 1987 the airline was privatised. It is Europe’s third- largest Airline.…

We even have heard stories, epics, and histories depicting the desire to fly liberally in the open sky. This longing led number of people to try to fly with manmade feathers engraved within them, the result of which was nothing but failure. With invent of successful flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina by Wright Brothers', the beginning of the aviation industry was marked. But the development of the aviation industry was first stimulated when United States' participated in World War I. In the early years, the public did not embrace airplane travel as an option perceiving that it was too dangerous. In 1927, when Charles Lindbergh successfully completed a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, it created massive interest in flying with the general public. This was the instigation point when a variety of air transport holding companies began which included Aviation Corporation. With United States' entry into World War II, commercial fleets and pilots were sent to Europe to participate in the war effort. The war also helped to generate support for research and development of aircraft, which extended beyond the war to commercial aviation.History of Airline Industry in NepalThe first airline Nepal Airlines Corporation was formed in July 1958 by the Nepalese government and a flag carrier.

    Indian Aviation sector in the post-liberalization period can be divided into two phases: 1992-99, when six major private airlines took to the sky and post-2000 – witnessing a new breed of airlines jostle for their share of the sky. In 1992-93 the entry of new players in Indian Civil Aviation Industry was facilitated because of change in environmental factors. Two of the most important changes were: deregulation for private sector and the relaxation in rules regarding fleet size. Banking on them, many players, backed by NRIs, jumped into the fray. A majority of these players had a start up project as little as Rs. 50-60 cr, for it was not mandatory for the operators to own the fleet. Additionally, these ventures had neither the experience nor concrete business models (considered essential for running an aviation company successfully). As a consequence, a large percentage of these companies collapsed. Out of six major airlines that took off (in all 17 airlines) only two survived. The remaining left behind huge liabilities to oil companies and the Airport Authority of India. In the second phase of post-2000, there are as many as 10 players that have already started operations in the domestic sector of the country. The moot question that remains now is: With new age carriers waiting to zoom in again, will history be repeated? Revolutionized by liberalization, the aviation sector in India has been marked by fast-paced changes in the past few years. From being an expensive service that only a few could afford, the sector has now graduated to being a fiercely competitive industry with the presence of a number of private and public airlines and several consumer-oriented offerings (Table 1 presents the market share of major domestic players from 1953 to 2006).…

    TEACHING NOTE AIR DECCAN: REVOLUTIONISING THE INDIAN SKIES DVR Seshadri and Jane Henry∗ CASE FACTS Civil Aviation in India, since its inception, has been a mode of transport mainly for the elite, and it implies that it is within the means of affordability of less than 1% of the population only. The launch of Air Deccan in the last two years has changed this paradigm forever. The singular driving force behind this audacious venture is Captain Gopinath. Over the years, there have been many low-cost airlines in service in the advanced countries. Many of them have succeeded despite the general downtown in the aviation industry post 9/11. Equally tenacious entrepreneurs, who saw the potential for a low-cost and 'no frills' airline, have launched many of these ventures. In what is peculiar to India, Captain Gopinath saw the market not in terms of those who were flying, who would want a low-cost airline, but instead as the more than one billion Indians, who had no possibility of flying ever in their lives in the legacy airlines, simply because there was no way they could ever afford the price. That Air Deccan could even think of launching a regular airline, given their very modest means, and more importantly, strong political support of the existing players, is a feat by itself. Its continued growth, month after month, is a saga of fortitude and tenacity. This case study describes the story of the launch of Air Deccan and the challenges ahead of it. It can be discussed in a course / module on 'Entrepreneurship.' It can also be used in a course on 'Strategy' to illustrate how a start-up with a strong value proposition could take on the well-established players in the industry, by 'frame-breaking' innovation. In addition to the usual approaches to cost containment adopted by low-cost airlines worldwide, Air Deccan has implemented several measures that are unique in the Indian context. This has resulted in steady increase in the market share of the airline, much to the…

    Just 1 per cent of the world’s population owns 40 per cent of the world’s wealth, while 60 per cent have to share just 1.9 per cent of it. Most workers have no employment security and billions earn less than a dollar a day. The pursuit of profit trumps the health of people and the future of the planet. Economic growth does not translate into common prosperity. Billions of workers have no say in their working conditions; many are threatened, intimidated, fired and in the worst cases thrown into prison or killed by hired gunmen when they demand their basic human rights of freedom of association, collective bargaining and industrial democracy.…

    Industrial Relations

    • 10 Pages

    The role of the government on industrial relations is very important as it sets the legal framework that industrial relations operates in. Appropriate industrial relations legislation should recognize the requirements of both employers and employee’s. Both the employee and the employer want to profit from each other but are also reliant on each other. This means that the equal bargaining power of employers and workers must be recognized (Peetz, David. 2006). Appropriate industrial relations laws should address any imbalance of power and give both groups an equal degree of control. Appropriate industrial relations should not only allow a mixture of both collective and individual bargaining but also facilitate employee participation in day to day workplace decisions. After all it’s the structure and framework of the employment relationship, which is governed by legislation that leads to good Industrial Relations.…
