I propose that this type of
business model will deploy Airbus A320 in its operation due to its carrying
capacity and ability to stay for long while airborne. This carrier has a varying flexibility and
versatility which makes it suitable for different routings and long
overhaul. This business model allows for
the connectivity from one airport to another. Aircraft will carry passengers
from one point to another, but will make stopovers through a designated
location. This way, it will collect passengers from many places and different
geographical locations. This will enable it to attain density economies of
scale and a possibility of attaining spatial economies. The business model will
allow travelers in A320 to have an access to entertainment and meals along the
way. This will maximize the revenue that
the airline will attain. Travelers will view this as a comfortable airline with
fully flexible tickets and high-frequency flights. Creation of customer’s value will be enhanced
through the services that are offered in the carriers and the relatively high
number of flights made on a daily basis. Airbus A320 will result in high
revenue due to its relatively high loading capacity, its mechanical reliability
and low operational costs , which allows it to stay more airborne with short
ground time.
These business models I proposed herein
are aimed at increasing efficiency, profitability and long-term sustainability
of the airline. Customers will be attained through value created by these two
types of carriers and the ease of service acquisition attained. The low-cost
carriers will enable the airline to be competitive. Hub carriers will enable
long-distance travelers to use the airline with much ease and comfortability.
Adoption of these models will enable the airline to be competitive, which is
imperative in its sustainability.
