2010: the year of big changes in the airline industry
A in-depth look at the airlines that ceased to exist or were born
The airline industry has seen a lot of changes in 2010. Several companies didn't stand up to the challenges of the ongoing economic crisis. Growing bigger seems to be the way out. Three major mergers took place last year, including the birth of the world's largest airline – United Continental Holdings.
An insight on the past year's changes has been published on WhichAirline.com. Focusing on notable bankruptcies and mergers, the article gives a deeper look on what was behind them. Money is not always the case for an airline to stop operations as we have seen with Viva Macau. This time it was a political decision. All the three big mergers last year were marriages of convenience. AirTran + Southwest Airlines or British Airways and Iberia are good examples. Cutting costs is the way to survive in today's world.
Past year was full of both expected and unexpected shifts. WhichAirline project manager, Jiri Parimucha, says to that: „We have seen a lot of interesting to happen in 2010. We even had an argument regarding the choice of companies the article will cover. They were just too many and mentioning all was impossible.“
