Airline Industry
The airline industry provides transportation services for passengers as well as cargo through scheduled air routes. The aviation industry derives its revenues from regular ticket fees and freight charges. Other major parts of the aviation industry are air traffic control, private charter flights, airports and priority delivery services. Airlines require substantial capital to establish and maintain their services. Overheads include staff, fuel, airplanes, equipment, stocks of mechanical and electrical spare parts, airplane maintenance, airport handling services, licences, in-flight catering, staff training, aviation insurance, airport fees and other costs. |
