Case Study FLYING GIANTS (FG) (An imaginary national airline in private sector in India) FG was formed in the wake of open sky policy of the government of India. In started operations in 1989. By 1994, FGs 13% flights were to neighboring countries. In the next six years, FG planned for 6% increase in annual growth. The growth is expected to come from acquiring sick airlines and second from strategic alliances with international airlines. Most airports in the FGs destinations are overcrowded. FG has two options, one to start using satellite airports, away from the main airports, lying neglected which can be rejuvenated at a cost. The other options is to build new airports designed for short takeoff and landing facility. This will need government approval as also large sums of money.

To maintain its market share and increase it, FG has to innovate in both ground and air service, including the followings:Easy ticketing Airport transfers Special lounges for business passengers with bar and snacks facilities Easy check-ins Fast and easy luggage retrievals Better connections to more destinations In-flight entertainment
