Introduction
The competition in the airline's industry has increased consistently. This can be
attributed to various reasons some of them are the increase in the number of new entrants in
the organisation. Customer satisfaction has been a significant concern since time, and thus,
various methods are implemented to gain maximum customer satisfaction. The higher level
of customer experience and satisfaction ensures the success of the organisation in the airline's
industry. It is not only the hardware elements which makes the customers happy and
satisfied; instead, there are other factors which matters simultaneously. There are various
airlines and the organisations which have been indulging into practices so that they can gain
more customer attention. Some of the airlines which have been on the list at the top are ANA
All Nippon Airways, Asiana Airways, EVA Air, Hainan Airlines, Japan Airlines, Qatar
Airways and so on. The rankings done are based on the status of the cabin staff and the
hospitality they serve.
The customers love the airlines and the services based on the varied factors, and thus
the organisation needs to take the overall care of the customer. The risk and safety
management also counts as one of the critical factors which are taken care of by the airlines
and the organisations operating in the same industry. It has been observed that the ratings are
given based on the timing, travelling, in-flight experience, comfortable in travelling,
punctuality and so on. Competitors can make use of the methodologies which is implemented
by the other organisations and thus it is tough to maintain the uniqueness and the distinctness
in the aviation features. Technologies are being updated continuously, and therefore the
aviation industry needs to make use of the advanced features so that they can gain the
maximum benefits.

Methods
American Airlines is recognised as one of the largest airlines which serves fifty countries all
around the world. It takes care of all the services which the aviation sector demands like the
maintenance of the services, handling of the baggage, and other related business (Saleem,
Zahra & Yaseen, 2017). The development of the airlines have been taking place over time
and has been reorganised as a company. The various integrated system has been
reincorporated and renamed in the aviation industry of the company. American Airlines has
also gone into the phase of struggling in terms of restructuring of the features and the
capacities of the company. This was due to the result of the increase in the financial status of
the aviation industry.
The restructuring was done in the field of employment of the new staff members,
employee layoffs, a decrease in the routes of the flights, an increase in the punctuality, and so
on. It has also become the first significant airline who had made a partnership with the
environmental protection agency for developing the environment-friendly strategies and the
methodologies to be implemented and used for the business operations (Grégoire, Salle &
Tripp, 2015). The size of American Airlines is one of the largest in terms of fleet size. It
holds both the domestic and international flight services along with the subsidiaries.
American Airlines is known for its loyalty flyer program, which earns the mileage credits,
which can further be redeemed for travelling free with the American airlines.
This helps in creating a strong brand reputation and also attracts the customers.
American Airlines also has links and partnerships with various international organisations
and agencies for consistent business operations and sustainability (Borenstein, 2017). It
travels to more than one thousand destinations which are approximately more than a hundred
countries. The relationships and the strong alliances with the other agencies and the

companies help in the enhancement of the flight frequencies, which in turn makes the
company gain more turnover. This has also made him rank 74 in 2019 in the American
region. The extensive operational network of American airlines has helped in increasing the
maximum advantage. This is measured with the help of revenue passenger miles, also known
as RPM and the available seat miles known as the ASM (Williams, 2017). American airlines
get one of the most extensive schedules for passengers in the world. There were more than a
hundred million mainline flights and more than fifty million regional flights. The reputation
of American airlines is also satisfactory in terms of entertainment.
The onboard entertainment of the American airlines is highly popularised and is also
appreciated by the customers and the clients. This ensures that the company is gaining
customer support and loyalty for its brand. Thus, American airlines can learn more publicity.
Majority of the market share in the United States is of the American airlines, and thus, it
gives fierce competition to the major airline companies and the international agencies.
However, the limited number of suppliers of the aircraft engines and the parts suppliers acts
as a challenge. Many mechanical vulnerabilities are thus exposed to American airlines.
Defects in the designing lead to the inadequacy in the performance. This hurts the company
and its successful growth and overall development. Thus, this aviation company needs to
increase the number of suppliers for the airline's suppliers and the parts of the aeroplanes.
Moreover, it does not have the unfunded pension benefits which they contribute the minimum
amount of funding requirements of the pension funding equity act of 2004 (Borenstein,
2017). There are certain obligations which need to be followed by the company so that the
position of the liquidity is not adversely affected.
The Low-Cost Carrier which the LCC competition is increasing the market at a
continuous pace which has a direct effect on the revenues earned by the airline's company.

The companies have the advantage of affiliate marketing, and they use these techniques,
which helps in variating the prices and the features according to the competition and the
economic status of the aviation industry (Saleem, Zahra & Yaseen, 2017). The American
airlines gain the benefit with the help of advertisement techniques luring a large number of
audiences. It also attracts the small business companies so that they can easily reach to the
customers. For this, the company needs to spend a lot of time in the online sector so that more
comfortable features for the customers can be provisioned to them. The company also has
many opportunities in terms of international tourism and the enhancement of air freight. The
growing security concerns are also taken care of by the American airlines abiding by the
environmental laws and the helpful interventions of the government agencies.
Fin Air is the airline company which is operating in the European regions and has
been ranked 32 in the year 2019. Finn Air is the national airline company in Finland and is
the sixth oldest company in the world. It gives provision for the regular and the seasonal
services of Europe, North America and Asia. The establishment of the company was with the
help of the small circle of the financiers (Etemad-Sajadi, Way & Bohrer, 2016). Innovation
across airlines have increased, leading to the development of air travel ecosystems. It is also
regarded as one of the comprehensive airlines which have always made efforts and given the
exact time of the real travel data. It empowers the industry and the overall insights of the
aviation industry. The decision making capability of the company has also improved since
time.
It is also one of the trusted global networks of the aviation industries for the growing
data. The data experts in the company have always lead to consistent evolution for the
innovations and the leading products and the services of the company. The company has also
flown its first push for change flight which is the biofuel flight. This has been one of the

Assessment Task: Case Study on Qatar Airways
8
significant initiatives which have the goal of decreasing the carbon emission to the minimum.
A biofuel mix of 12 per cent has been used while taking this initiative which has successfully
helped in the total reduction of the carbon emissions for two flights by approx.
(Wattanacharoensil et al., 2017). 32 tonnes. This has gained the attention of the customers in
terms of experiencing favourable times and the conditions. The decrease in the emissions
from the travel will be of the great benefit to the economy as well as the industry.
These types of initiatives taken put pressure on other aviation companies and also
increases the level of competition in the industry. So these types of changes have always been
noticed in the Finn Air aviation company. Finn Air has been evaluated as the world's safest
airline by the German Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC) in the year 2019.
The safety index of the company is the highest, which is 93.91 per cent. More than four
billion passengers travel by the Finn Air traffic airlines and thus it is the safest form of traffic
(Ahmadpour, Robert & Lindgaard, 2016). The safety index of the Finn Air aviation company
is calculated on the basis of the three categories which are namely accidents and the incidents
taking place in the aviation since the last thirty years; the environment of the business
operations and the infrastructural status of the company including the factors of service like
the ages since the fleet has been used (Thomson, 2018).
The following factors are further compared with the yearly revenue of the kilometres
travelled by the passengers. Finn air has been renewing the entire cabin of the airlines with
the introduction of the new and unique feature of Premium Economy cabin class for the long-
haul fleet. The following investments are made by the company so that the customers
experience the best and are satisfied with the features given to them. There will also be a
renewal of the seats, the carpets, the interior design of the cabins, new classes, and the
premium economic modifications (Petcu, 2017). Due to its exclusive features, the Finn Air

aviation company has also been awarded the Five Star Global Airline rating in the year 2019
by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX). This rating has been given the
score based on the feedback by the passengers and its official verification.
Thorough renovations are taking place in the aviation company to be the leading
competitor in the operating industry. The extension in the flights is also taking place with the
addition of more destinations across the world. For instance, the network has been extended
in Norway and has thus become one of the worlds largest regional carrier. Finnair has also
extended its alliances with the west coast of the united states and its airline companies. This
will thus help the company in reaching more and more places and conducting business
operations in a more significant manner (Law, 2017). The introduction of the new features
like the offering of a light economy class fair, including the provision of hand baggage has
gained the attention of the customers. It also helps them in convenient purchasing of the
tickets and availing the other features in advanced.
Qatar Airways are one of the youngest international airlines, which is serving six
continents. This is possible due to the immense support of the customers and their valuable
feedbacks which had helped the company in developing and growing consistently. More than
a hundred destinations are connected with the fleet of the latest-generation aircraft. The
services which are provided are unique and new in the context and also involves all the types
of haul segments like the short, medium and the long haul segments. The Qatar airways have
a wide range of network coverage throughout the world, increasing the probability in
reaching more and more number of destinations (Samuel-Azran & Assaf, 2018). They are
committed to the services which they provide to their customers so that the customers often
travel with the Qatar airlines. They prioritise the journey and the features which makes the

Assessment Task: Case Study on Qatar Airways
10
journey more comfortable and convenient. Qatar Airways has also gained various awards and
has become one of the elite groups of an aviation company in the world.
The goal of the company is to make it the airline of choice so that more and more
customers are attracted to it. This would help the company in gaining the motivation to offer
more to its customers. Qatar Airways has been successful in go-to-market strategies for its
products and services. The contemporaneous firms have been integrated with the help of the
mergers and the various acquisitions. Several technologies have been adopted and
incorporated by the Qatar airways for streamlining the business operations in a better manner
so that the reliability of the supply chain is maintained (O’Connell & Bueno, 2018). Qatar
airways have always been successful in providing a high level of satisfaction to its customers.
It dedicates the features to the development of the relationship and the management system so
that more and more customers are in contact with the company and there is a high level of
equity with the potentiality and the capability of the customers.
Qatar airways have been successful in entering the new markets and holding a strong
position throughout. The Qatar airways have expanded in such a manner which has helped in
high gaming amount of revenues and diversifying the risk of the economic cycle in the
market. Qatar Airways has got a reliable and robust base of the suppliers of the raw materials
so that no further hindrance is observed in the process of conducting the business operations.
Stable free cash flow is one of the important and the strong factor which helps the company
to expand in the right direction (Chiambaretto & Wassmer, 2019). The company make sure
that a employs a skilled and competent workforce so that no disturbance is caused to the
customers. For this, various learning and training programs are provisioned to the employees.
This further helps in gaining good returns on capital expenditure with the help of the creation
of the new streams of revenue. However, most of the times, the long-term growth of the

Assessment Task: Case Study on Qatar Airways
11
Qatar airways are affected due to the changes in the inventory system. Sometimes, due to the
inefficiency in the financial planning the current and the liquid asset ratios are affecting
which in turn affects the entire business operations. However, there are many opportunities
for the Qatar Airways by which it can stabilise its business operations with the help of the
adjacent product segments. The new policies of the environmental regulations will eventually
help the company in evolving in a better manner and gaining the advantage of the majority of
the market share. The evolving trends in the choice of the customers and their behaviours will
help the company to gain the major market share and earn more revenues (Cookson, 2017).
The advancement of the technologies have always been beneficial for the company in terms
of the development of the major features and the varied categories so that the value oriented
propositions can be gained. moreover, the core competencies in the field of the aviation
industry can provide benefits to the company and it can put more efforts to gain the highest
position in the market. Thus, the features of the Qatar airways has been able to gain the
number one position in the year 2019 in the Middle Eastern region. The critical factors can be
acknowledged by the company in the real time so that further issues and the complications
are not aroused in the process of growing and gaining sustainability in the long run (Prince &
Simon, 2017).
Cathay pacific airways is one of the major aviation companies which have been
operating in the Asia region since time. The company makes sure that the customers
experience best and are satisfied at the highest level so they prioritise their features and its
development like the factors promoting comfort and convenience for the customers. It
believes in the long term differentiation of the competitors in terms of the products and the
services so that the customers make the best choice. The staff members are also dedicated
towards the provision of the best of the services and helps in changing their perceptions in the

Assessment Task: Case Study on Qatar Airways
12
positive way. The trainings given to the staff members and the investments done for them
shows the significance given to the customers and for their services (Loukopoulos et al.,
2016). Cathay pacific has adopted a new identity in the field of the aviation corporation and
thus has an economic appeal. The fleet of the company has also been expanded with the
conservative management systems. The company has also become one of the world’s first
airline of flying non stop transpolar flight to the north pole. The cargo services of the
company has also been developed since the evolution of the airline company and it also
contributes to more than thirty per cent of the revenue which is collected which makes the
company more competitive. The innovation has always been in high demand in the aviation
industry and thus the airline companies focus on the same. The quality of the services are
maintained by the company which has helped it being the highly reputed companies in the
country (Cookson, 2017). The employees which are interested in the aviation industry has
helped the company in developing its community services. Two of the major loyalty
programmes which have been launched by the company are The Marco Polo Club and the
Asia Miles club which has helped the company in becoming one of the Asia miles members.
One of the primary missions of the company is the safety and the efficiency of the flights.
The features are developed in such a manner which defines the strong passion of the
company. Cathay pacific has got the diverse culture which employs many individuals through
several stages of the selection process to ensure that they do not fail in any of the core works
and affect the other business operations. The flying potential is assessed and the company
gains the reputation of being the best airlines in the company. They are covering more than
one hundred destinations and have more than one hundred and fifty aircrafts which helps in
strengthening the growing operations and becoming one of the premier international aviation
hubs (Steven et al., 2016).

Cathay Pacific airways has the strong brand equity and is also capable of giving the
customers the best of the experiences. The presence of the airlines across the regions have
lead to the increase in the synergies of the business operations. A large number of the fleet
and the mix of the various aircrafts helps it in becoming one of the major aviation companies
with the utmost utilisation of the fleet on the basis of the demands and the conditions. The
aviation industry is growing and the potential for entering and establishing a position in the
market will be a great opportunity for the Cathay pacific airways. The emerging market
conditions will act as the driver of the growth of the company (Helmreich & Merritt, 2017).
The improvement in the technological fields and the aspects will help the company to take
the necessary and the important steps which can further improve the operations and reduce
the costs. Expansion in the air freight sector of the company will be great boost in its growth
and development. The company makes sure that the threats are eliminated and they are
gaining the ability enough to face the challenges. Focus on the financial status and the
investments are necessary so that high leverages can be avoided. All the factors limiting the
scope of the future expansion must be considered and eliminated so that the sustainability is
maintained. The initiatives of the reduction of the costs must be avoided as it can lead to the
development of the unpleasant measures without yielding the accepted benefits. The sound
strategy of the Cathay pacific airlines have always helped it in gaining the success. The
availability of the strong network and the links has helped it in distinguishing its network in
the best way possible which further strengthens the commercial plan of the company will
well designed and well organised. The customer preference have always been prioritised by
the company and the significant researches have been done with the support of the digital
capabilities and the utilisation of the data analytics. The dedicated focus of the Cathay pacific
airways have made it possible to create the best experiences for the customers which is
comfortable and convenient (Eaton, 2017). The idea of the customer engagement is focused

14
on which ensures that the communication is strong among the customers and the business
operators. Safety and security is one of the major concerns of the Cathay pacific airways
which also ensures that the customers are getting the desired and the expected level of the
services in the airline systems. The Cathay airlines focuses on the values and the productivity
which is thus yielded fostering continuous development and improvisation. The distinctness
in the services and the products are maintained so that they are ahead of their competitors and
their brand is recognised in the unique way.
Results
The comparison of the different companies shows that all the companies are distinct
providers of their products and the services. In order to ensure the same, the companies
adopts various methods and the strategies which are implemented in accordance with the
industry standards and the customer preferences. These methods and the strategies are
implemented by recognising various factors of the aviation industry. The rankings which
have been done showcases the capabilities of the companies and their continuous evolvement
in the sector of growth and development (Cookson, 2017). The different aviation industries in
the different regions of Europe, Asia, Middle Eastern region and the United States are
successfully operating throughout the world with many destinations and the heavy fleet. All
the companies are focusing on the features and the distinctive attributes so that they can gain
the competitive advantage over others and maintain their brand reputation. The customer
preferences and the choices are very important to consider because the ultimate choice is
theirs, so it is very important to keep the customers happy and engaged with their company.
Strong alliances can help in the enhancement of the productivity and the efficiency of the
companies and make them foster in the operating industry. Various steps have already been
taken by the different companies on the basis of the economic and the environmental

Assessment Task: Case Study on Qatar Airways
15
standards and this has also proved beneficial for them in the long run. The companies are
making efficient use of the opportunities and are evolving accordingly. The related threats are
eliminated so that future issues and the complexities are not aroused. The commitment of the
companies in the aviation industry is very important as the lack of this would lead to
immense failure. The steps and the strategies implemented can be changed accordingly but
initially it must be implemented with the view of maintaining sustainability. Financial issues
must be handled for getting the larger revenues and profits (Cookson, 2017). The companies
has always considered the safety and the security issues as the priority and this has been
advantageous to them in terms of gaining the customer trust and interest. The maintenance of
the strong alliances and the relations with the other organisations have also been helpful for
growing and expanding the business operations in the international area.
Discussion
The HR focus have been high of these companies. The selection process of the employees for
the different functions and the core purposes are very long. This is to ensure that the company
is hiring the best of the employees who are skilled and competent enough to perform the
functions and does not lead to the failure of the works adversely affecting the business
operations (Badr et al., 2015). The companies also organise the training and the learning
programmes for the employees in order to ensure that they do not lack any significant skills
which could restrain the customer for travelling with that particular airlines company. The
smooth functioning of the airlines is very important in accordance with the necessary
strategies and the methodologies. The hiring of the better employees also helps in building
healthy relations with the customers and with the other airlines so that the idea of the
economy is adequately gained.

Asian Airlines continue to be the best airlines in the world as it has also received the award
from the Skytrax world airline which shows that it is one of the most overwhelming airlines
which the majority of the customers have chosen. The obvious winner is the Qatar airways
which has been considered as one of the best airlines companies because of the cleanest cabin
crew and the best economy class which it provides to the customers. The consumer surveys
and the feedbacks help in gaining the rankings and the lists in the same. the survey has
represented more than hundred nationalities from all over the world. It has also been named
as the Oscars of the aviation industry. The rankings established by the Skytrax has been very
useful and is of utmost importance (Cookson, 2017). However, some evidence have also been
gained that the American airlines are also improving in some or the other by developing and
growing its features. It is probably giving the tough competition to the Qatar airways in terms
of the features which enhances the customer satisfaction level. The best business class feature
and facility is provided by the Qatar airways due to their dedication and the efforts for the
constant evolution. The financial status of the company and the investments made have also
been appreciable and thus there is no doubt that the company cannot attain the position of one
of the best aviation companies. The trainees and the employees which are hired area also
skilled and competent and thus are dedicated to the customers so that they remain engaged
with the company (Taneja, 2017). Moreover, further trainings and the learning programs are
also given to the employees so that no issue is aroused in future while they are performing
their core functions. safety and security issues are also highly prioritised by the company and
thus entrusts the customers. The customers feel secure while travelling with the company.
The various feedbacks given by the customers have shown that they have trust and faith on
the products and the services of the Asian airlines which has finally concluded as the best and
the most effective airlines.

Conclusion
It is thus concluded that there are many airlines in the aviation industry which are working
well enough and are also holding higher ranks in the list. This is because of their practices
and the methodologies which they are using on the consistent basis for developing and
growing into the best of the airlines companies in the aviation industries. Many studies have
carried out about successful airline business in the 19th, following by risk and safety
management in the 20th after 911 terror in 2001 and economic crisis in the world in 2007.
Last 10 years, scholars have been focused on what matters for customers' satisfaction in the
aviation industry. It has been rated with various aspects while traveling, like an airport
experience, an in-flight experience, a seat comfortableness, punctuality, etc.
Beside hardware products that can be copied from any competitors in any time, so it is very
difficult to have distinctive quality, software products that generated by human resources
would be the key for the aviation organizations to achieve their business successfully. For
airline business, flight attendants are facing their customers the longest time among the
frontline operators.
