Introduction
Air transport is a system that covers organizations, rules and stakeholders. Operations at
an airport system comprises of the industry brands and personnel. These exist in a dynamic and
highly competitive industry. In the Australian environment, the government provides regulations
that shape the management of the industry operations. Stakeholders in the industry include
brands, operators, government and customers. Low cost carriers (LCC) embrace strategies that
complement this airline structure for higher yields. On the other hand, the customer considers the
benefits that an airline offers. The success of an airliner depends on the business model adopted.
Job satisfaction in an organization sums lies within the airline operations management. The
organizational framework includes industry specifics and guidelines for the operators (Koustelios
& Belias, 2014). Creating safety and competiveness in the airline industry calls for effective
management strategies covered under rules and regulations. This discussion looks at the
challenges faced by airline industry players in the industry. Organizations observe these
regulations amidst trying to gain a competitive edge. In a free market system, there is need for
measures that prevent conflict of interest. Designated rules and regulations in the Australian
airline services focus on the commercial, social (sports, drones etc.) as well as military services.
These are international and local airlines.
Makers of the rules and regulations
The Australian regulatory system includes policies from the government, private sector
and international spheres. These are regulations and set guides on aircraft noises, navigation,
airline licensing, air services, airspace and transport security among others (Australian
Government, 2018). Presented under the division of Aviation and Airports these government
policies regulate the operation of airports and the aviation sector. The technical aviation sector

requires detailed agreements that govern the freedom of flying over the international airspace.
Consequently, the passenger delivery and repatriation process calls for stakeholder engagement
between the Australian Airservices and the airline service provides. Policies about service stops
open skies and liberalization contain international treaties. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority
(CASA) has a main concern in safety and promoting general aviation behaviors through
legislation (Federal Register of Legislation, 2018). This organ involves skilled workers in the
industry, specialists and stakeholders. CASA organizes conferences and training on safety. It also
supports airworthiness, flight-testing, quality manufacturing and inspection of airline and
equipment. Its policies cover aircrafts as well as engines, equipment and contracts. The Civil
Aviation Authority (2017) defines dangerous goods as those that place human health under risk.
Safety and environmental concerns are critical in the National policies.
On the other hand, the International Civil Aviation (ICAO) and the International Services
Commissions ( ISC) focuses on air navigation on a global scale (ICAO, 2018: International Air
Services Commission, 2018). From this, statistics indicate an increase in the rate of accidents
within scheduled commercial flights. ISC cases include reviews of airline routes, use of capacity
and airspace conditions. International rules and regulations hinder and control fatal accidents in
scheduled flights. ICAO partners comply with the regulations for a safer international aviation
environment. The standardization in the Aviation industry within Australia takes into
consideration fuel efficiency and the environmental release of greenhouse emissions. Rules also
contain information about the deregulation of airline structures in order to accommodate new
entrants. Among these regulations are policies on the cost, and domestication of flights. Industry
players adopt strategies such as low cost and lucrative carriers in order to tap into the markets.
The international market has an environment that depends on regulations for a multilateral
