Airline flight reservation southwest

The story of Southwest's legal fight was turned into a children's book, Gumwrappers and Goggles by Winifred Barnum in 1983. In the story, TJ Love, a small jet, is taken to court by two larger jets to keep him from their hangar, and then to try and stop him from flying at all. Taken to court, TJ Love's right to fly is upheld after an impassioned plea from The Lawyer. While no company names are mentioned in the book, TJ Love's colors are those of Southwest Airlines, and the two other jets are colored in Braniff and Continental's colors. The Lawyer is designed to resemble Herb Kelleher. The book was adapted into a stage musical, Show your Spirit, sponsored by Southwest Airlines, and played only in towns serviced by the airline.[8] Southwest Airlines founder Herb Kelleher studied California-based Pacific Southwest Airlines extensively and used many of the airline's ideas to form the corporate culture at Southwest, and even on early flights used the same "Long Legs And Short Nights" theme for stewardesses on board typical Southwest Airlines flights. In early 1971, Air Southwest changed its name to Southwest Airlines, and the first flight was on June 18, 1971. Its first flights were from Love Field in Dallas to Houston and San Antonio,[9] short hops with no-frills service and a simple fare structure, features that became the basis for Southwest's popularity and rapid growth in the coming years. The rest of 1971 and 1972 saw operating losses. One of the four aircraft was sold to Frontier Airlines and the proceeds used to make payroll and cover other expenses. Southwest continued to operate a schedule predicated on four aircraft but using only three, and in so doing the "ten minute turn" was born, and was the standard ground time for many years.[10] Southwest turned its first annual profit in 1973, and has done so every year since — a record unmatched by any other commercial airline.[11] Southwest has used financial techniques such as fuel hedging to bolster its profitability and counteract many of the fiscal disadvantages of operating an airline. To lock in the low historical prices Southwest believed were occurring at that time, Southwest used a mixture of swaps and call options to secure fuel in future years while paying prices they believed were low. The company also stated that with this new strategy, it faced substantial risks if the oil prices continued to go down, but they did not. Previously, Southwest had been more interested in reducing volatility of oil prices. Now, they hoped to reap large gains from oil price appreciation. According an annual report, here is the company's fuel hedge for forward years ("approximate" per barrel basis, as of mid-January): 2007 is 95% hedged at $50/barrel; 2008 is 65% hedged at $49/barrel; 2009 is over 50% hedged at $51/barrel; 2010 is over 25% hedged at $63/barrel; 2011 is over is 15% hedged at $64/barrel; 2012 is 15% hedged at $63/barrel. These are well below market rates, which Southwest factors into its low operating costs. However, this below-market oil cost will not continue forever; executives have said that Southwest faces increased exposure to the raw oil market every year. This is not a good sign for the airline, which is also facing tough competition from US legacy carriers that have lowered costs through bankruptcy. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly has decided to slow the airlines' growth as a response to this cost. At present, Southwest has enjoyed much positive press (and a strong financial boost) from its energy trading skills. However, while most analysts agree that volatility hedges can be beneficial, speculative hedges are not widely supported as a continuing strategy for profits. The early 2000s hedges may in retrospect be an anomalous, lucky event and also a claim to fame for Southwest Airlines' reputation as a financially adept company. When airline deregulation came in 1978, Southwest began planning to offer interstate service from Love Field. This caused a number of interest groups affiliated with Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport, including the city of Fort Worth, to push the Wright Amendment through Congress to restrict such flights.[17] Under the restrictions of the amendment, Southwest, and all other airlines, were barred from operating, or even ticketing passengers on flights from Love Field to destinations beyond the states immediately surrounding Texas. In effect, to travel through Love Field, a passenger and luggage would have to deplane and fly on a separate ticket, on a separate aircraft. The Wright Amendment's restrictions didn't apply to aircraft configured with 56 or fewer seats. In 2000, Legend Airlines attempted to operate long distance business-class flights using older DC-9s with 56 seats, but did not have the resources to survive American's legal and marketing attacks, and quickly ceased operations. Southwest has not used the 56 seat loophole, even with its market strength at Love Field and the availability of more modern regional jets such as the CRJ-700/900 and the Embraer ERJ 145 family. In 1997, Southwest's effort began to pay off with the Shelby Amendment, which added the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas to the list of permissible destination states. Southwest now offers service between Dallas Love Field and Jackson, MS, via a connection at Houston, which it couldn't do prior to the enactment of the Shelby Amendment. Since late 2004, Southwest has actively sought the full repeal of the Wright Amendment restrictions. In late 2005, Missouri was added to the list of permissible destination states via a transportation appropriations bill. New service from Love Field to St. Louis and Kansas City quickly started in December 2005. Southwest started selling tickets under the new law on October 19, 2006. Highlights of the agreement are the immediate elimination of through-ticketing prohibitions, and unrestricted flights to domestic destinations eight years after the legislation takes effect. This agreement was a resounding victory for Southwest Airlines because nationwide service became possible, and the law defined the maximum number of gates at Love Field. Southwest controls all of the Love Field gates except for the two each that American and Continental control. The future of the Legend Airlines terminal for use by commercial airlines is in doubt because of the limit on number of gates. Despite the restrictions on its home base, Southwest proceeded to build a successful business on an unusual model: flying multiple short, quick trips into the secondary (more efficient and less costly) airports of major cities, using primarily only one aircraft type, the Boeing 737. As part of its effort to control costs, Southwest tries to use secondary airports which generally have lower costs and may, or may not be, more convenient to travelers than the major airports to the same destinations. For example, Southwest flies to Midway Airport in Chicago, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and West Palm Beach in South Florida, Love Field in Dallas, Hobby Airport in Houston, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, New Hampshire, and T. F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island, instead of O'Hare International Airport, Miami International Airport, DFW International, IAH Intercontinental in Houston, and Logan International Airport in Boston, respectively. Southwest also serves the New York Metropolitan area at Long Island MacArthur Airport. Southwest makes exceptions to the philosophy of serving secondary airports by flying into some larger airports in major cities, such as Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Orlando International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Philadelphia International, Denver International Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International and Pittsburgh International. In the Baltimore-Washington market, Southwest has limited flights into one major airport (Washington Dulles International Airport) while maintaining their east-coast focus city at the region's other major airport, Baltimore-Washington International Airport. In the Los Angeles market Southwest flies to both the major city airport, Los Angeles International (LAX), and to three of the four secondary airports, Burbank-Bob Hope Airport, John Wayne Airport, and LA/Ontario International Airport (it does not serve Long Beach Airport). With the restoration of service out of San Francisco International Airport on August 26, 2007, Southwest now serves all three airports in the San Francisco Bay Area; the other two being Oakland International Airport and San Jose International Airport. On February 9, 2007, Southwest Airlines announced internally that it was planning to restart operations at San Francisco International Airport, a station the airline closed in 2001.[25] Southwest CEO Gary Kelly has stated that the airline plans to commence service at SFO beginning in the "early fall" of 2007. On May 11, 2007, in an e-mail to Rapid Rewards members, Southwest announced that service to and from San Francisco would begin August 26th with eight daily nonstops to San Diego, seven to Las Vegas and three to Chicago's Midway Airport. The success and profitability of Southwest's business model led to a common trend being named after the company: The Southwest Effect. Since Southwest's original mission in Texas was to make it less expensive than driving between two points (in the early 1970s, during the first major energy cost crisis in the U.S.), it developed a template for entering markets at rates that allowed the airline to be profitable, yet only on the basis of lean operations and high aircraft use. The key concept to the Southwest Effect is that when a low-fare carrier (or any aggressive and innovative company) enters a market, the market itself changes, and usually grows dramatically. For example, when fares drop by 50% from their historical averages, the number of new customers in that market may not just double, but actually quadruple, or more. Southwest has been a major inspiration to other low-cost airlines, and its business model has been repeated many times around the world. Europe's easyJet and Ryanair as well as Canada's WestJet, are some of the best known airlines to follow Southwest's business strategy in that continent (though easyJet operates two different aircraft models today). Other airlines with a business model based on Southwest's system include New Zealand's Freedom Air, Malaysia's AirAsia (the first and biggest LCC in Asia), Qantas's Jetstar (although Jetstar now operates two aircraft types) and Thailand's Nok Air. Southwest Airlines has mostly pursued a strategy of internal growth, rather than by acquisition of other airlines as commonly occurs. However, in addition to acquisition of Morris Air Transport (see above), Southwest did acquire competitor Muse Air in 1985, which operated McDonnell Douglas MD-80s. Muse Air was renamed TranStar Airlines. ATA Airlines, one of Southwest Airlines' main competitors in the Chicago market, historically operated out of Midway Airport alongside Southwest. ATA declared bankruptcy, and in 2004, Southwest injected capital into ATA that (among other things) would have resulted in Southwest's 27.5% ownership stake in ATA upon their exit from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In late 2005, ATA secured $100 million in additional financing from the firm of Matlin Patterson, and Southwest's original deal with ATA was modified such that Southwest no longer retained the 27.5% stake (or any other financial interest) in ATA. The codeshare arrangement, however, continues to remain in place and has expanded, with some internal controversy, to include all of ATA's 17 destinations and all of Southwest's 63 destinations. In 2006, Southwest's pilot union approved a codeshare sideletter to their contract with limitations on the growth of this and other codeshare agreements. While these restrictions today are minor, outsourcing remains a growing concern in the unions current contract negotiations. During 2006, Southwest Airlines began marketing ATA only flights. ATA's dependence on the Southwest network continued to grow in 2006, and today ATA offers over 70 flights a week to Hawaii from Southwest's hubs in PHX, LAS, LAX, and OAK. Additional connecting service is available to many other cities across the United States. Plans have been announced for ATA to offer exclusive international service for Southwest by 2010. Southwest today has taken over all ground operations for ATA at MDW, OAK, PHX, LAX, and LAS. These contracts provide that Southwest ramp personnel will now handle all ground operations (loading of aircraft, ground servicing, etc.) for ATA. The details of these contracts have not been made public but represent Southwest's and ATA's growing mutually beneficial codeshare relationship. Presently, there is no plan to open the ATA/Southwest codeshare to ATA's sister carriers; North American Airlines or World Airways, even though they are co-owned by the same corporate entity created from ATA Holdings. On November 8, 2007, Global Aero Logistics, parent company of ATA, formally announced to Southwest Airlines that its code-share passengers would be flying upon North American Airlines crewed aircraft for a portion of the 2007 Christmas season. Beginning in February 2005, ATA was run by John Denison, Southwest's former Chief Financial Officer. Effective January 1, 2007, Denison turned things over to Subodh Karnik, who is now President and Chief Executive Officer. Denison remains ATA's Chairman and Chairman of Global Aero Logistics Inc., the new name of ATA Holdings. Tickets cannot be purchased through common online venues like Orbitz or Travelocity; a minority are booked through travel agents. Most of Southwest's tickets are issued directly by the airline over the phone or online at the company's website which features Web-only fare discounts. Unlike other major airlines, Southwest allows passengers to change reservations without additional cost. While this provides flexibility to customers, Southwest does not allow same-day standby travel on a different flight (usually a free service at other airlines) without upgrading to maximum fare. Customers are not assigned seats; rather, they are assigned to one of three "boarding groups" depending on their check-in time (earlier check-ins get to board earlier), and are left to choose their own seats on the plane, which helps the airline to board passengers faster. At the May 2006 shareholders meeting, Southwest management announced a study of potentially adopting an assigned-seating system in 2008, as part of a reservations-technology overhaul now under way. As of November 8, 2007 Southwest has implemented an update to their Boarding Procedure in which passengers are now assigned their Boarding letter (A, B or C) along with a number which provides them a specific place in line (Example: A32). The idea behind this is to allow customers to not have to wait in line and spend their time relaxing or catching up on work. They have also introduced Business Select fares, which adds a guaranteed "A" group boarding pass, extra Rapid Rewards credit, and a drink. As a result of the boarding policy, several independent companies have offered automatic check-in services for Southwest. These companies take customer's orders for check-in ahead of the 24 hour mark (when the airline makes a flight available for online check-in) and transmit the necessary data for check-in to Southwest as soon as the airline opens up online check-in for a particular flight. The result of this service is that people using it generally get the first boarding group (known as the "A" boarding group). These early check-in sites include Seat-Sniper.com and CheckinSooner.com. Southwest has not embraced this practice and in fact sued one company (boardfirst.com) in federal district court in Dallas for impermissible commercial use of its website and succeeded in getting the company shut down in October 2007. Southwest maintained excellent customer satisfaction ratings; in 2006, according to the Department of Transportation December year end operating statistics, Southwest ranked number one (lowest number of complaints) of all U.S. airlines for customer complaints, with 0.18 per 100,000 customers enplaned. Southwest Airlines has consistently received the fewest ratio of complaints per passengers boarded of all major U.S. carriers that have been reporting statistics to the Department of Transportation (DOT) since September 1987, which is when the DOT began tracking Customer Satisfaction statistics and publishing its Air Travel Consumer Report. In February 2006, Southwest instituted capacity controls to redeeming its free tickets. This means that the airline limits the seats offered to frequent travelers using free certificates on each flight, whereas previously if there was a seat available, one could use the award, provided the passenger was not flying on one of the five blackout dates. In early 2006, Southwest expanded its codeshare agreement with ATA Airlines and now allows redemption of award tickets on Hawaii flights at the rate of two awards per round trip flight. Southwest and ATA stress that reward availability to Hawaii will be very limited. Travelers can also earn twice the normal number of credits when they purchase airfare on Hawaii-bound flights. Instead of a lawsuit, the CEOs for both companies staged an arm wrestling match. Held at the now demolished Dallas Sportatorium (the famed wrestling facility) and set for two out of three rounds, the loser of each round was to pay $5,000 to the charity of their choice, with the winner gaining the use of the trademarked phrase. A promotional video was created showing the CEOs "training" for the bout (with CEO Herb Kelleher being helped up during a sit up where a cigarette and glass of whiskey (Wild Turkey 101) was waiting) and distributed among the employees and as a video press release along with the video of the match itself. Herb Kelleher lost the match for Southwest, with Stevens Aviation winning the rights to the phrase. Kurt Herwald, CEO of Stevens Aviation, immediately granted the use of "Just Plane Smart" to Southwest Airlines. The net result was both companies having use of the trademark, $15,000 going to charity and a healthy dose of goodwill publicity for both companies. The President of Southwest is Colleen Barrett, who has been with the company since day one. Southwest's CFO is Laura Wright. In July 2007, it was announced that Herb Kelleher will resign his position as Chairman effective May 2008. Colleen Barrett will leave her post on the Board of Directors and Corporate Secretary in May 2008 and President in July 2008. Both will remain active employees of Southwest Airlines. The American version of the reality show Airline showcased Southwest Airlines passengers and employees in daily mishaps and life at some of Southwest's major airports (BWI, MDW, LAX, & HOU). The show premiered January 5, 2004 on the A&E Network, but was canceled after 70 episodes on December 15, 2005. Southwest is the world's largest operator of the 737. Their current active fleet is over 500 aircraft. In terms of total 737 production (all models in history), deliveries of new aircraft from Boeing to Southwest accounts for approximately 9% of total production. Southwest has one of the largest fleets in North America. Southwest's original primary livery was beige and red, with orange on the tail end, and pinstripes of white separating each section of color. The word Southwest appears in white on the beige portion of the tail. (Although, on the original three 737-200s, from June of 1971, on the left side of the plane, the word Southwest was placed along the upper rear portion of the fuselage, with the word Airlines painted on the tail where Southwest is today N21SW. On the right side, the word Southwest was in the same place as today, but also had the word Airlines painted on the upper rear portion of the fuselage.N20SW. Southwest introduced the Canyon Blue Fleet in 2001, its first primary livery change in its 30-year history. Spirit One was the first plane painted in the color scheme. The new livery replaces the primary beige color with canyon blue and changes the Southwest text and pinstripes to gold. The pinstripe along the plane is drawn in a more curved pattern instead of the straight horizontal line separating the colors in the original. The original livery is gradually being phased out, but three aircraft will remain in the original livery to commemorate Southwest's original three cities. As of November 16, 2007, Southwest has nearly completed updating the fleet.[16] The first aircraft to be painted in the "Shamu" scheme was N334SW (1988), a 737-300, and it was later followed by N507SW (Shamu II) and N501SW (Shamu III), both 737-500s. Subsequent to the retirement of Southwest's 737-200s, the 737-500s began to stay within a smaller geographic area formerly operated by the 737-200s, and as such, Sea World was no longer getting the optimal national exposure from these two aircraft. Two 737-700 aircraft, N713SW and N715SW, were repainted as the new Shamu aircraft, and both N501SW and N507SW were eventually repainted in Canyon Blue colors. All three current Shamu aircraft are no longer referred to as Shamu I, II, or III. The artwork on the nose of each aircraft simply states "Shamu". The overhead bins of these aircraft display ads for Sea World, except towards the front and back of the airplane, where the bins get smaller and are no longer uniform.

Triple Crown One: (1997) Livery dedicated to the employees of Southwest, in recognition of Southwest receiving five Triple Crown airline industry awards (best on-time record, best baggage handling, and fewest customer complaints). The overhead bins in Triple Crown One one are inscribed with the names of all employees that worked for Southwest at the time, in honor of their part in winning the award.(N647SW) Southwest received both the 5,000th 737 produced (February 13, 2006) (N230WN) and the 2,000th "Next Generation" 737 produced (July 27, 2006) (N248WN). The 2,000th "Next Generation" 737 is marked as such in its livery, though the 5,000th 737 is not similarly marked. All special planes prior to Spirit One originally wore the standard beige, red and orange livery colors on the vertical stabilizer and rudder. Subsequent special editions—Maryland One and Slam Dunk One, so far—feature tails with the canyon blue color scheme, and all earlier specials, with the exception of Triple Crown One have been repainted to match. On December 8, 2005, Southwest Airlines Flight 1248 skidded off a runway upon landing at Chicago Midway International Airport in heavy snow conditions. A six-year old boy died in a car struck by the plane after the plane skidded into a street. Passengers on board the aircraft and on the ground reported several minor injuries. The aircraft involved, N471WN, became N286WN after repairs. For 2007, the eighth year in a row, Business Ethics magazine lists Southwest Airlines in its “100 Best Corporate Citizens,” a list that ranks public companies based on their corporate service to various stakeholder groups. Southwest is one of only 11 repeat winners that have made the list all eight years According to Institutional Investor magazine, Southwest Airlines ranked number one in the Consumer category among all airlines as the “Most Shareholder Friendly Company” based on the effectiveness of Southwest’s governance and investor relations as part of their overall efforts to maximize share holder value.

Indian reservation is a land managed by a Native American tribe under the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. Reservations were established when White Americans and American Indians signed treaties, which involved the transfer of land; land was also forcibly taken from the American Indians, who had lived in the Americas for thousands of years. Because the land is federal territory and Native Americans have limited national sovereignty, laws on tribal lands vary from the surrounding area. These laws can permit legal casinos on reservations, which attract tourists. There are about 300 Indian reservations in the United States, meaning not all of the country's 550-plus recognized tribes have a reservation — some tribes have more than one reservation, others have none. In addition, because of past land sales and allotments, discussed below, some reservations are severely fragmented. Each piece of tribal, trust, and privately held land is a separate enclave. This random mixing of private and public real estate can create significant administrative difficulties. There are twelve Indian reservations that are larger than the state of Rhode Island (776,960 acres; 3,144 km²) and nine reservations larger than Delaware (1,316,480 acres; 5,327 km²). Reservations are unevenly distributed throughout the country with some states having none. The tribal council, not the local or federal government, has jurisdiction over reservations. Different reservations have different systems of government, which may or may not replicate the forms of government found outside the reservation. Some Indian reservations were laid out by the federal government, others were outlined by the states. In 1851, the United States Congress passed the Indian Appropriations Act which authorized the creation of Native American reservations in modern day Oklahoma. Relations between settlers and natives had grown increasingly worse as the settlers encroached on territory and natural resources in the West. Grant pursued a stated "Peace Policy" as a possible solution to the conflict. The policy included a reorganization of the Indian Service, with the goal of relocating various tribes from their ancestral homes to parcels of lands established specifically for their inhabitation. The policy called for the replacement of government officials by religious men, nominated by churches, to oversee the Indian agencies on reservations in order to teach Christianity to the native tribes. The Quakers were especially active in this policy on reservations. The "civilization" policy was aimed at eventually preparing the tribes for citizenship. The policy was controversial from the start. Reservations were generally established by executive order. In many cases, white settlers objected to the size of land parcels, which were subsequently reduced. A report submitted to Congress in 1868 found widespread corruption among the federal Indian agencies and generally poor conditions among the relocated tribes. Many tribes ignored the relocation orders at first and were forced onto their new limited land parcels. In many cases, the policy required the continuing support of the United States Army in the West to restrict the movements of various tribes. The pursuit of tribes in order to force them back onto reservations led to a number of Indian Wars. The most well known conflict was the Sioux War on the northern Great Plains, between 1876 and 1881, which included the Battle of Little Bighorn. Other famous wars in this regard included the Nez Perce War. By the late 1870s, the policy established by Grant was regarded as a failure, primarily because it had resulted in some of the bloodiest wars between Native Americans and the United States. By 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes began phasing out the policy, and by 1882 all religious organizations had relinquished their authority to the federal Indian agency. In 1887, Congress undertook a significant change in reservation policy by the passage of the Dawes Act, or General Allotment (Severalty) Act. The act ended the general policy of granting land parcels to tribes as-a-whole by granting small parcels of land to individual tribe members. In some cases, for example the Umatilla Indian Reservation, after the individual parcels were granted out of reservation land, the reservation area was reduced by giving the excess land to white settlers. The individual allotment policy continued until 1934, when it was terminated by the Indian Reorganization Act. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, also known as the Howard-Wheeler Act, was sometimes called the Indian New Deal. It laid out new rights for Native Americans, reversed some of the earlier privatization of their common holdings, and encouraged self-government and land management by tribes. The act slowed the assignment of tribal lands to individual members, and reduced the assignment of 'extra' holdings to nonmembers. For the following twenty years, the U.S. government invested in infrastructure, health care, and education on the reservations, and over two million acres (8,000 km²) of land were returned to various tribes. The Indian Reorganization Act also provided for termination and relocation of certain tribes. This eventually resulted in the legal dismantling of 61 tribal nations. Some Indian reservations offer a quality of lifе that is among the poorest people found in the world. Life qualities in some reservations are comparable to the quality of life in the developing world. Shannon County, South Dakota, home of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, is routinely described as one of the poorest counties in the nation. In 1979, the Seminole tribe in Florida opened a high-stakes bingo operation on its reservation in Florida. The state attempted to close the operation down but was stopped in the courts. In the 1980s, the case of California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians established the right of reservations to operate other forms of gambling operations. In 1988, Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act which recognized the right of Indian tribes to establish gambling and gaming facilities on their reservations as long as the states in which they are located have some form of legalized gambling. Today, many Indian Casinos are used as tourist attractions to draw visitors and revenue to reservations.

Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. However, there are several gliding mammals which are able to glide from tree to tree using fleshy membranes between their limbs; some can travel hundreds of meters in this way with very little loss in height. Flying tree frogs use greatly enlarged webbed feet for a similar purpose, and there are flying lizards which employ their unusually wide, flattened rib-cages to the same end. Certain snakes also use a flattened rib-cage to fly, with a back and forth motion much the same as they use on the ground. Flying fish can glide using enlarged wing-like fins, and have been observed soaring for hundreds of meters using the updraft on the leading edges of waves. It is thought that this ability was chosen by natural selection because it was an effective means of escape from underwater predators. Most birds fly (see bird flight), with some exceptions. The largest birds, the ostrich and the emu, are earthbound, as were the now-extinct dodos, while the non-flying penguins have adapted their wings for use under water. Most small flightless birds are native to small islands, and lead a lifestyle where flight would confer little advantage. The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal in the world; its terminal velocity exceeds 370 km/h (199 mph) in a dive.

An airline provides air transport services for passengers or freight, generally with a recognized operating certificate or license. Airlines lease or own their aircraft with which to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for mutual benefit. Airlines vary from those with a single airplane carrying mail or cargo, through full-service international airlines operating many hundreds of airplanes. Airline services can be categorized as being intercontinental, intracontinental, or domestic and may be operated as scheduled services or charters. Tony Jannus conducted the United States' first scheduled commercial airline flight on 1 January 1914 for the St. Petersburg-routes, which would, through time and mergers, evolve into Delta Air Lines, Braniff Airways, American Airlines, United Airlines (originally a division of Boeing), Trans World Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and Eastern Air Lines, to name a few. At the same time, Juan Trippe began a crusade to create an air network that would link America to the world, and he achieved this goal through his airline, Pan American World Airways, with a fleet of flying boats that linked Los Angeles to Shanghai and Boston to London. Pan Am was the only U.S. airline to go international before the 1940s. KLM, the oldest carrier still operating under its original name, was founded in 1919. The first flight (operated on behalf of KLM by Aircraft Transport and Travel) transported two English passengers to Schiphol, Amsterdam from London in 1920. Like other major European airlines of the time (see France and the UK below), KLM's early growth depended heavily on the needs to service links with far-flung colonial possessions (Dutch Indies). It is only after the loss of the Dutch Empire that KLM found itself based at a small country with few potential passengers, depending heavily on transfer traffic, and was one of the first to introduce the hub-system to facilitate easy connections. France began an air mail service to Morocco in 1919 that was bought out in 1927, renamed Aéropostale, and injected with capital to become a major international carrier. In 1933, Aéropostale went bankrupt, was nationalized and merged with several other airlines into what became Air France. In Finland, the charter establishing Aero O/Y (now Finnair, one of the oldest still-operating airlines in the world) was signed in the city of Helsinki on 12 September 1923. Junkers F 13 D-335 became the first aircraft of the company, when Aero took delivery of it on 14 March 1924. The first flight was between Helsinki and Tallinn, capital of Estonia, and it took place on 20 March 1924, one week later. Germany's Lufthansa began in 1926. Lufthansa, unlike most other airlines at the time, became a major investor in airlines outside of Europe, providing capital to Varig and Avianca. German airliners built by Junkers, Dornier, and Fokker were the most advanced in the world at the time. The peak of German air travel came in the mid-1930s, when Nazi propaganda ministers approved the start of commercial zeppelin service: the big airships were a symbol of industrial might, but the fact that they used flammable hydrogen gas raised safety concerns that culminated with the Hindenburg disaster of 1937. The reason they used hydrogen instead of the not-flammable helium gas was a United States military embargo on helium. The British company Aircraft Transport and Travel commenced a London to Paris service on 25 August 1919, this was the world's first regular international flight. The United Kingdom's flag carrier during this period was Imperial Airways, which became BOAC (British Overseas Airlines Co.) in 1939. Imperial Airways used huge Handley-Page biplanes for routes between London, the Middle East, and India: images of Imperial aircraft in the middle of the Rub'al Khali, being maintained by Bedouins, are among the most famous pictures from the heyday of the British Empire. The first country in Asia to embrace air transport was the Philippines. Philippine Airlines was founded on February 26, 1941, making it Asia's oldest carrier still operating under its current name. The airline was started by a group of businessmen led by Andres Soriano, hailed as one of the Philippines' leading industrialists at the time. The airline’s first flight was made on March 15, 1941 with a single Beech Model 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily services between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio, later to expand with larger aircraft such as the DC-3 and Vickers Viscount. Notably Philippine Airlines leased Japan Airlines their first aircraft, a DC-3 named "Kinsei". On July 31, 1946, a chartered Philippine Airlines DC-4 ferried 40 American servicemen to Oakland,California from Nielson Airport in Makati City with stops in Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Atoll and Honolulu, Hawaii, making PAL the first Asian airline to cross the Pacific Ocean. A regular service between Manila and San Francisco was started in December. It was during this year that the airline was designated as the Philippines flag carrier. Another airline company to begin early operations was Air India, which had its beginning as Tata Airlines in 1932, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group) by India's leading industrialist JRD Tata. On October 15, 1932, J. R. D. Tata himself flew a single engined De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi to Bombay via Ahmedabad. The aircraft continued to Madras via Bellary piloted by Royal Air Force pilot Nevill Vincent. Following the end of World War II, regular commercial service was restored in India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on 29 July 1946 under the name Air India. After the Independence of India, 49% of the airline was acquired by the Government of India. In return, the airline was granted status to operate international services from India as the designated flag carrier under the name Air India International. Neighbouring countries also soon embraced air transport, notably with Cathay Pacific founded in 1946, Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines in 1947 (as Malayan Airways), Garuda Indonesia in 1949 and Japan Airlines founded in 1951. With the outbreak of World War Two, the airline presence in Asia came to a relative halt, with many new flag carriers donating their aircraft for military aid and other uses. World War II, like World War I, brought new life to the airline industry. Many airlines in the Allied countries were flush from lease contracts to the military, and foresaw a future explosive demand for civil air transport, for both passengers and cargo. They were eager to invest in the newly emerging flagships of air travel such as the Boeing Stratocruiser, Lockheed Constellation, and Douglas DC-6. Most of these new aircraft were based on American bombers such as the B-29, which had spearheaded research into new technologies such as pressurization. Most offered increased efficiency from both added speed and greater payload. The next big boost for the airlines would come in the 1970s, when the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and Lockheed L-1011 inaugurated widebody ("jumbo jet") service, which is still the standard in international travel. The Tupolev Tu-144 and its Western counterpart, Concorde, made supersonic travel a reality. In 1972, Airbus began producing Europe's most commercially successful line of airliners to date. The added efficiencies for these aircraft were often not in speed, but in passenger capacity, payload, and range. As the business cycle returned to normalcy, major airlines dominated their routes through aggressive pricing and additional capacity offerings, often swamping new startups. Only America West Airlines (which has since merged with US Airways) remained a significant survivor from this new entrant era, as dozens, even hundreds, have gone under. In many ways, the biggest winner in the deregulated environment was the air passenger. Indeed, the U.S. witnessed an explosive growth in demand for air travel, as many millions who had never or rarely flown before became regular fliers, even joining frequent flyer loyalty programs and receiving free flights and other benefits from their flying. New services and higher frequencies meant that business fliers could fly to another city, do business, and return the same day, for almost any point in the country. Air travel's advantages put intercity bus lines under pressure, and most have withered away. Thus the last 50 years of the airline industry have varied from reasonably profitable, to devastatingly depressed. As the first major market to deregulate the industry in 1978, U.S. airlines have experienced more turbulence than almost any other country or region. Today, almost every single legacy carrier except for American Airlines have operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy provisions or have gone out of business. Many countries have national airlines that the government owns and operates. Fully private airlines are subject to a great deal of government regulation for economic, political, and safety concerns. For instance, the government often intervenes to halt airline labor actions in order to protect the free flow of people, communications, and goods between different regions without compromising safety. The United States, Australia, and to a lesser extent Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Japan have "deregulated" their airlines. In the past, these governments dictated airfares, route networks, and other operational requirements for each airline. Since deregulation, airlines have been largely free to negotiate their own operating arrangements with different airports, enter and exit routes easily, and to levy airfares and supply flights according to market demand. The entry barriers for new airlines are lower in a deregulated market, and so the U.S. has seen hundreds of airlines start up (sometimes for only a brief operating period). This has produced far greater competition than before deregulation in most markets, and average fares tend to drop 20% or more. The added competition, together with pricing freedom, means that new entrants often take market share with highly reduced rates that, to a limited degree, full service airlines must match. This is a major constraint on profitability for established carriers, which tend to have a higher cost base. Groups such as the International Civil Aviation Organization establish worldwide standards for safety and other vital concerns. Most international air traffic is regulated by bilateral agreements between countries, which designate specific carriers to operate on specific routes. The model of such an agreement was the Bermuda Agreement between the US and UK following World War II, which designated airports to be used for transatlantic flights and gave each government the authority to nominate carriers to operate routes. Bilateral agreements are based on the "freedoms of the air," a group of generalized traffic rights ranging from the freedom to overfly a country to the freedom to provide domestic flights within a country (a very rarely granted right known as cabotage). Most agreements permit airlines to fly from their home country to designated airports in the other country: some also extend the freedom to provide continuing service to a third country, or to another destination in the other country while carrying passengers from overseas. In the 1990s, "open skies" agreements became more common. These agreements take many of these regulatory powers from state governments and open up international routes to further competition. Open skies agreements have met some criticism, particularly within the European Union, whose airlines would be at a comparative disadvantage with the United States' because of cabotage restrictions. One argument is that positive externalities, such as higher growth due to global mobility, outweigh the microeconomic losses and justify continuing government intervention. A historically high level of government intervention in the airline industry can be seen as part of a wider political consensus on strategic forms of transport, such as highways and railways, both of which receive public funding in most parts of the world. Profitability is likely to improve in the future as privatization continues and more competitive low-cost carriers proliferate. Because of the complications in scheduling flights and maintaining profitability, airlines have many loopholes that can be used by the knowledgeable traveler. Many of these airfare secrets are becoming more and more known to the general public, so airlines are forced to make constant adjustments. Most airlines use differentiated pricing, a form of price discrimination, in order to sell air services at varying prices simultaneously to different segments. Factors influencing the price include the days remaining until departure, the booked load factor, the forecast of total demand by price point, competitive pricing in force, and variations by day of week of departure and by time of day. Carriers often accomplish this by dividing each cabin of the aircraft (first, business and economy) into a number of travel classes for pricing purposes. A complicating factor is that of origin-destination control ("O&D control"). Someone purchasing a ticket from Melbourne to Sydney (as an example) for $200 (AUD) is competing with someone else who wants to fly Melbourne to Los Angeles through Sydney on the same flight, and who is willing to pay $1400 (AUD). Should the airline prefer the $1400 passenger, or the $200 passenger plus a possible Sydney-Los Angeles passenger willing to pay $1300? Airlines have to make hundreds of thousands of similar pricing decisions daily. The advent of advanced computerized reservations systems in the late 1970s, most notably Sabre, allowed airlines to easily perform cost-benefit analyses on different pricing structures, leading to almost perfect price discrimination in some cases (that is, filling each seat on an aircraft at the highest price that can be charged without driving the consumer elsewhere). Price discrimination is considered an anti-business practice, and is defined as price discriminations definition: different prices for identical products. Technically this is the total of the specific action of the other airline, without violating laws. The archaic airlines, with hub-systems and unprofitable pricing structures, have legally defined this term as an attack on business, although this act is not outside of law. The low cost carriers (LCC's) are new on the scene and did not have the contacts or resources to outlaw this definition of a purely legal business practice (in which they chose to participate) as a monopolistic practice to those with the aforementioned archaic pricing structure. The national carriers have yet to define how discrimination is an intenionally harmful and volitionally detrimental act upon their business by a competitor. Laws protecting business can be applied, or those who have the greatest impact may insinuate without proof that they are treated unfairly, and can thus use their legal status as the defendant to limit LCC's manuevaribility within the market. An example is that they demand taxes from the US government for specific airports, for which the National's receive exemption or subsidy for either a)seniority/grandfathering treatment, or b)legal status as financially on the brink (i.e. pre-bankruptcy). The intense nature of airfare pricing has led to the term "fare war" to describe efforts by airlines to undercut other airlines on competitive routes. Through computers, new airfares can be published quickly and efficiently to the airlines' sales channels. For this purpose the airlines use the Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO), who distribute latest fares for more than 500 airlines to Computer Reservation Systems across the world. Full-service airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs in order to establish and maintain air services: labor, fuel, airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks, airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, catering, training, aviation insurance and other costs. Thus all but a small percentage of the income from ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers. Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Airline fuel is untaxed, however, due to a series of treaties existing between countries. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes, and surcharges they have little or no control over, and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for enforcing government regulations. If airlines carry passengers without proper documentation on an international flight, they are responsible for returning them back to the originating country. In contrast, Southwest Airlines has been the most profitable of airline companies since 1970. Indeed, some sources have calculated Southwest to be the best performing stock over the period, outperforming Microsoft and many other high performing companies. The chief reasons for this are their product consistency and cost control. The widespread entrance of a new breed of low cost airlines beginning at the turn of the century has accelerated the demand that full service carriers control costs. Many of these low cost companies emulate Southwest Airlines in various respects, and like Southwest, they are able to eke out a consistent profit throughout all phases of the business cycle. As a result, a shakeout of airlines is occurring in the U.S. and elsewhere. United Airlines, US Airways (twice), Delta Air Lines, and Northwest Airlines have all declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and American has barely avoided doing so. Alitalia, Scandinavian Airlines System, SABENA, Swissair, Japan Air System, Viasa, Air Canada, Ansett Australia, and others have flirted with or declared bankruptcy since 1995, as low cost entrants enter their home markets as well. Some argue that it would be far better for the industry as a whole if a wave of actual closures were to reduce the number of "undead" airlines competing with healthy airlines while being artificially protected from creditors via bankruptcy law. On the other hand, some have pointed out that the reduction in capacity would be short lived given that there would be large quantities of relatively new aircraft that bankruptcies would want to get rid of and would re-enter the market either as increased fleets for the survivors or the basis of cheap planes for new startups. Airline financing is quite complex, since airlines are highly leveraged operations. Not only must they purchase (or lease) new airliner bodies and engines regularly, they must make major long-term fleet decisions with the goal of meeting the demands of their markets while producing a fleet that is relatively economical to operate and maintain. Compare Southwest Airlines and their reliance on a single airplane type (the Boeing 737 and derivatives), with the now defunct Eastern Air Lines which operated 17 different aircraft types, each with varying pilot, engine, maintenance, and support needs. A second financial issue is that of hedging oil and fuel purchases, which are usually second only to labor in its relative cost to the company. However, with the current high fuel prices it has become the largest cost to an airline. While hedging instruments can be expensive, they can easily pay for themselves many times over in periods of increasing fuel costs, such as in the 2000-2005 period. In view of the congestion apparent at many international airports, the ownership of slots at certain airports (the right to take-off or land an aircraft at a particular time of day or night) has become a significant tradable asset for many airlines. Clearly take-off slots at popular times of the day can be critical in attracting the more profitable business traveler to a given airline's flight and in establishing a competitive advantage against a competing airline. If a particular city has two or more airports, market forces will tend to attract the less profitable routes, or those on which competition is weakest, to the less congested airport, where slots are likely to be more available and therefore cheaper. Other factors, such as surface transport facilities and onward connections, will also affect the relative appeal of different airports and some long distance flights may need to operate from the one with the longest runway. Code sharing is the most common type of airline partnership; it involves one airline selling tickets for another airline's flights under its own airline code. An early example of this was Japan Airlines' code sharing partnership with Aeroflot in the 1960s on flights from Tokyo to Moscow: Aeroflot operated the flights using Aeroflot aircraft, but JAL sold tickets for the flights as if they were JAL flights. This practice allows airlines to expand their operations, at least on paper, into parts of the world where they cannot afford to establish bases or purchase aircraft. Another example was the Austrian- Sabena partnership on the Vienna-Brussels-New York JFK route during the late 60's, using a Sabena Boeing 707 with Austrian colors. Since airline reservation requests are often made by city-pair (such as "show me flights from Chicago to Düsseldorf"), an airline who is able to code share with another airline for a variety of routes might be able to be listed as indeed offering a Chicago-Düsseldorf flight. The passenger is advised however, that Airline 1 operates the flight from say Chicago to Amsterdam, and Airline 2 operates the continuing flight (on a different airplane, sometimes from another terminal) to Düsseldorf. Thus the primary rationale for code sharing is to expand one's service offerings in city-pair terms so as to increase sales. Often the companies combine IT operations, buy fuel, or purchase airplanes as a bloc in order to achieve higher bargaining power. However, the alliances have been most successful at purchasing invisible supplies and services, such as fuel. Airlines usually prefer to purchase items visible to their passengers to differentiate themselves from local competitors. If an airline's main domestic competitor flies Boeing airliners, then the airline may prefer to use Airbus aircraft regardless of what the rest of the alliance chooses. Each operator of a scheduled or charter flight uses a airline call sign when communicating with airports or air traffic control centers. Most of these call-signs are derived from the airline's trade name, but for reasons of history, marketing, or the need to reduce ambiguity in spoken English (so that pilots do not mistakenly make navigational decisions based on instructions issued to a different aircraft), some airlines and air forces use call-signs less obviously connected with their trading name. For example, British Airways uses a Speedbird call-sign, named after the logo of its predecessor, BOAC while America West used Cactus reflecting that company's home in the state of Arizona and to differentiate itself from numerous other airlines using America and West in their call signs. The industry is cyclical. Four or five years of poor performance precede five or six years of improved performance. But profitability in the good years is generally low, in the range of 2-3% net profit after interest and tax. In times of profit, airlines lease new generations of airplanes and upgrade services in response to higher demand. Since 1980, the industry has not earned back the cost of capital during the best of times. Conversely, in bad times losses can be dramatically worse.

Indian reservation is a country, which is handled by a native American trunk under United States the ministry of the Interior the office of the Indian affairs. Reservations were manufactured, when white Americans and American Indian signed contracts, which referred the transmission of the country; Country was taken also by force by the Indians, who had in the America for thousands years used. Because the country is federal territory and native Americans limited national sovereignty, laws on master countries of the environment vary. These laws can make certified casinos possible on reservations, which attract tourists. There are approximately 300 Indian reservations in the United States and mean that the whole 550-plus of the country of trunks does not have a reservation recognized - some trunks, more than one reservation to have others have none. Additionally because of the last land sales and the dispatchings, down discussed, some reservations are strictly splintered. Each piece of trunk -, trust, and country privately held is a different enclave. This occasional mixing of the private and general real estates can cause important administrative difficulties. There are twelve Indian reservations, which are larger, as the condition of Rhode island (776,960 mornings; km² 3.144) and nine reservations more largely than Delaware (1.316.480 mornings; km² 5.327). Reservations are unequally distributed in the country with some conditions, which do not have. The master advice -, not local or Federal Government, has jurisdiction over reservations. Different reservations could repeat different systems of government, those possibly not the forms of the government or not be able found outside of the reservation. Some Indian reservations by the Federal Government, other one outlined by the conditions ausgebritten. 1851 led United States the congress the Indian regulations act, which authorized the creation of the native American reservations on the modern day Oklahoma. Relations between Siedleren and natives had increasingly more badly grown, while the Siedleren on area and nature resources intervened in the west. Grant exercised an indicated "policy of peace" as possible solution to the conflict. The policy closed a reorganization Indian services, with which a goal of the storage of the different trunks of their ancestral houses to the packages of the countries in, which were specifically manufactured for it inhabitation. The policy required the re-installation of the government officials by pious men, appointed by churches, in order to supervise the Indian agencies on reservations, around Christianity to inform the native trunks. The Quaeker was particularly active in this politics on reservations. The "civilization" politics was finally aimed at the trunks preparing for nationality. The policy was from the outset disputed. Reservations were manufactured generally by implementing regulation. In many cases white Siedleren objected to the size of the land packages, which were reduced afterwards. A report handed widespread corruption under the Indian federal agencies and generally bad conditions under the shifted trunks at the congress in 1868 appeared. Many trunks ignored the shift of orders first and were on its new limited land packages of obligation. In many cases the policy required the continuing support United States of the army in the west limiting the movements of the different trunks. The pursuit of the trunks, for it back on reservations to force led to a number of Indian wars. The far away most well-known conflict was the Sioux war on the Nordprairien, between 1876 and 1881, which included the battle of the small Bighorn. Other famous wars in this regard included the Nez Perce war. The policy, which was manufactured by grant, was regarded by the late 1870s as a loss, mainly because she had resulted in some the bloodiest wars between native Americans and the United States. Up to the 1877 president Rutherford B. Hayes began to complete the policy and by 1882 their authorization for the Indian federal agency had retired all pious organizations. 1887 accepted itself congress an important change in the reservation politics by the passage of the Dawes act or general dispatching (Severalty) act. The act terminated the general policy of the granting land packages to the trunks, which are like in complete to the individual master members by granting small packages of the country. In some cases, e.g. the Umatilla became Indian reservation, after the individual packages from reservation country were granted out, that reservation range by giving the white Siedleren of the surplus country reduced. The individual dispatching politics continued until 1934, when it was terminated by the Indian reorganization act. Sometimes the Indian reorganization act of 1934, alias the Howard Howard Wheelertat, the Indian new agreement were called. It britt new rights for native Americans out, main headers somewhat from the earlier privatisation of its general getting thing up and moved Self government and land management by trunks on. The act slowed the instruction down of the master of countries for the individual members and reduced the instruction ' of the additional expenses ' of getting thing on non-members. For the following twenty years the United States government, which were invested in the infrastructure, were returned the health care and the training on the reservations and over to two million morning (km² 8,000) country to the different trunks. The Indian reorganization act made available also for terminator point and shift of certain trunks. This finally resulted in certified diminishing from 61 master nations. Some Indian reservations offer a quality of lif? belongs to the poorest people, which are found in the world. Life qualities in some reservations are comparable with the quality of life in the developing world. Shannon county, South Dakota, house of the Kiefer edge Indian reservation, is described by routine as one of the worst counties in the nation. 1979 tie the Seminole, the trunk up in Florida opened, (no meaning) enterprise on its reservation in Florida on. The condition tried to close the enterprise however in the courts was stopped. In the eighties the box California V. Cabazon of the volume of the mission Indian manufactured the right of reservations to let other forms of the playing enterprises run. 1988 led congress Indian play regulating act, which right Indian trunks recognized, which a playing to manufacture and play service on their reservations so long, as the conditions, in which they are, have any form of legalisierten playing. Today many Indian casinos are used as routistic attraction, in order to draw visitors and incomes for the reservations.

Blows are the only mammals, which are capable of the applicable flight. However there are some gleitene mammals, which are, to slide from tree to tree with fleshy diaphragms between its members; some can travel hundreds of measuring instruments in this kind with very little loss in the height. The largely increased fly tree frog use webbed feet for a similar purpose, and there are fly lizards, which use their unusually broad, flatpressed rib frameworks to the same end. Certain queues use also a flatpressed rib framework, around, with a moving back and forth fly many the same, which they use from the reason. Fly fish can do a using slide increase Fluegel-wie fins and for hundreds of measuring instruments with the Updraft on the prominent edges of the waves observed high-flying thing were. It is thought that this ability was selected by natural allotters, because it was an effective way out of the underwater carnivores. Most birds fly (you see to bird flight), with something exceptions. The largest birds, the Ostrich and emu, are earthbound, like the now-become extinct Dodos, while the Nichtfliegen Penguins adapted its wings for use under water. Most small flightless birds are native to the small islands and lead a life-style, in the flight little advantage would confer. The foreign falcon is the fastest animal in the world; its terminal speed exceeds 370 km/h (199 MPH) in dipping.

An airline provides air transport services for passengers or goods, with a generally recognized certificate or permit. Airlines aircraft lease their own with which to provide such services and be able to form partnerships and alliances with other airlines for mutual benefit. Airlines differ from those with a single plane mail or cargo carried, through a full service international airlines operating several hundred more planes. Airline services can be categorized as intercontinental, intracontinental, domestic and can act as regular services or maps. Tony Jannus conducted by the United States, the first commercial airline, which is scheduled flight from 1 January 1914 to St. Petersburg routes, which will run throughout the years, and mergers, is developing into Delta Air Lines, Braniff Airways, American Airlines, United Airlines ( originally a division of Boeing), Trans World Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Eastern Air Lines, to name a few. At the same time, Juan Trippe launched a crusade to create an air network that would link the Americas to the world, and that this objective is achieved with the airline, Pan American World Airways, with a fleet of vessels flying linked Los Angeles and Shanghai Boston in London. Pan Am was the only airline of the United States to go before the 1940 international. KLM, the oldest airline continues to operate under its original name, was founded in 1919. The first flight (acting on behalf of KLM Aircraft Transport and Travel) moved two English passengers to Schiphol, from London to Amsterdam in 1920. Like the other major airlines by the time (see France and the United Kingdom below), KLM, early development depends largely on the requirements for servicing ties with extensive colonial possessions (Dutch Indies). It is only after the loss of empire that the Dutch KLM was based in a small country with few potential passengers, largely depending on the transfer of traffic, and was one of the first to introduce the hub-system to facilitate connections easy. France has launched an air courier service in Morocco in 1919, which was bought by in 1927, renamed Aéropostale and injected with capital to become a major international carrier. In 1933, Aéropostale went bankrupt, was nationalized and merged with several other airlines, what happened to Air France. In Finland, the charter establishing Aero O / U (now Finnair, one of the oldest companies operating in the world-even), which was signed in the city of Helsinki, on September 12, 1923. Junkers F 13 D-335 was the first aircraft of the company, when Aero was delivered on March 14, 1924. The first flight was between Helsinki and Tallinn, the Estonian capital, and this took place on March 20, 1924, one week later. Lufthansa of Germany began in 1926. Lufthansa, unlike most other airlines at the time, became a major investor in airlines outside of Europe, which provides capital to Varig and Avianca. German planes built by Junkers, Dornier, and Fokker were the most advanced in the world at that time. The apex of the German air travel came in mid-1930 - when Nazi propaganda ministers approved the start of commercial zeppelin service: the great airships was a symbol of industrial might, but the fact that they used flammable hydrogen gas has raised concerns about safety culminated with the Hindenburg disaster of 1937. The reason we used hydrogen instead of the non-flammable helium gas United States was a military embargo on helium. British Aircraft Transport and Travel began in London, in Paris, a service on 25 August 1919, it was the world's first scheduled international flights. The United Kingdom's flag carrier during this period were Imperial Airways, which became BOAC (British Overseas Airlines CO), in 1939. Imperial Airways used huge Handley-Page biplanes for routes between London, the Middle East and India: Imperial images of aircraft in the middle of Rub'al Khali, maintained by Bedouins, are among the most famous images from the heyday of the British Empire. The first country in Asia to embrace air travel to the Philippines. Philippine Airlines was founded on Feb. 26, 1941, making it the oldest carrier Asia continues to operate under the current name. The airline was started by a group of businessmen headed by Andres Soriano, hailed as one of the Philippines, leading industrialists at the time. The airline made its first flight on March 15, 1941 with a single model Beech 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily service between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio can later be expanded to larger aircraft such as the DC -- 3 and Vickers Viscount. Mostly Philippine Airlines Japan Airlines leased the aircraft is the first of a DC-3 named "Kinsei". On July 31, 1946, a chartered Philippine Airlines DC-4 ferried 40 U.S. servicemen in Oakland, California Nielson, the airport in Makati City with stops in Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Atoll in Honolulu, Hawaii, PAL, making the first airline Asia to cross the Pacific Ocean. A regular service between Manila and San Francisco, was started in December. It was during that year, the airline appointed as the Philippines flag carrier. Another airline to begin early operations were Air India, which had the authority to Tata Airlines in 1932, a division of Tata Sons Ltd (now Tata Group) from India's leading industrialist JRD Tata. On October 15, 1932, JRD Tata himself flew a single engine De Havilland Puss Moth carry air mail (postal mail Imperial Airways) from Karachi to Bombay via Ahmedabad. The aircraft continued to Madras via Bellary piloted by Royal Air Force pilot Nevill Vincent. After the end of the Second World War, the regular commercial service returned to India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on July 29, 1946 under the name Air India. After Independence of India, 49% of the airline was acquired by the Government of India. In return, the airline was granted the status to operate international services from India, as the designated national carrier under the name Air India International. Neighbouring countries, and was quickly embraced air transport, mainly by Cathay Pacific was founded in 1946, Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines in 1947 (as Malayan Airways), Garuda Indonesia in 1949, Japan Airlines was founded in 1951. With the outbreak of the Second World War, the airline presence in Asia came to a relative halt, with many new flag carriers donate their aircraft for military assistance and other uses. Second World War, as the First World War, has brought new life to the airline industry. Many airlines and the allied countries flush from lease contracts for the military, which foresaw a future explosive demand for civil air transport for both passengers and cargo. We were willing to invest in the newly emerging pioneer in air travel, as the Stratocruiser Boeing, Lockheed Constellation, and Douglas DC-6. Most of these new aircraft based on American bombers such as the B-29, which was cutting edge research into new technologies, such as pressure. Most offered both an increase in efficiency and greater speed, the payload. The next big boost for the airlines will come to the 1970's, when the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and Lockheed L-1011 launched widebody ( "jumbo") service, which is still the standard in international Travel. The Tupolev Tu-144 and Western counterpart Concorde, supersonic travel a reality. In 1972, it began production of Airbus Europe the most successful commercial airliners to date. The added performances of these aircraft are often not in time but passenger capacity, cargo, and the spectrum. As the business cycle returned to normalcy, large companies dominate their routes through aggressive pricing and additional capacity offerings, often swamping new startups. Only America West Airlines (which has since merged with American Airways), which remained a significant survivor of that era newcomer, as dozens, even hundreds, have gone down. In many ways, the biggest winner in the deregulated environment was to air passengers. Indeed, the United States has seen an explosion in demand for air travel, as many millions who had never or rarely been flown before regular fliers, even frequent flyer programmes included dedication and receiving free flights and other benefits from the flight. New services and higher frequencies meant it could fly business fliers to another city, do business, and to return the same day, almost every point in the country. Air travel has advantages that coaches lines under pressure, and most have withered away. Thus, the last 50 years in the airline industry ranged from profitable enough, with devastating depressed. As the first major market to deregulate the industry in 1978, airlines from the United States have experienced more turbulence than almost any other country or region. Today, almost every single agency outside bequest from the American Airlines have operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy provisions or have left the market. Many countries have national airlines that the government owns and operates. Fully private airline companies are subject to an extreme governmental regulation on the economic, political, and safety concerns. For example, the government often intervenes to halt airline labor action in order to protect the free movement of people, communications and goods across regions without jeopardizing safety. The United States, Australia, and to a lesser extent Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Japan have "deregulated" their airlines. In the past, these governments dictated airfares, the route network, and other operational requirements for each airline. Since deregulation, airlines are largely free to negotiate their own arrangements operate to different airports, the entry and exit routes easily, and require flights airfares and supply depending on market demand. The entry barriers for new airlines are lower deregulated market, and thus the United States has seen hundreds of airlines launch (sometimes only for a short period of operation). This is much higher than it did before the liberation of competition in most markets, average fares and tend to drop 20% or more. The added competition, coupled with the freedom to set rates, means that newcomers often take market share with exceptionally low interest rates that, to a limited extent, the full service airlines have to match. This is the biggest obstacle to profitability established carriers, which tend to have higher costs. Groups such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation global standards for safety and other important issues. Most international air transport is governed by bilateral agreements between countries, which designate specific carriers to operate on specific routes. The model for such an agreement Bermuda was the agreement between the USA and the UK following World War II, which has been designated airports to be used for transatlantic flights, and each government has the power to appoint carriers to operate routes. Bilateral agreements are based on the "freedoms of the air", a group of generalized rights movement, ranging from the freedom to overfly a country with the freedom to provide domestic flights within a country (very rarely granted the right known as cabotage). Most agreements permit airlines to fly from their homes to designate other airports in the country: even extend the freedom to provide services is continuing in a third country, or to another destination in another country while transporting passengers from the abroad. In the 1990's, "open skies" agreements have become more frequent. These agreements take many of these regulatory powers from state governments and to open up international routes to competition. Agreements open skies have met some criticism, particularly within the European Union, whose airlines will be at a comparative disadvantage with the United States, given the limitations of cabotage. One argument is that the positive externalities, such as higher due to the global increase in mobility, recoup the losses of microeconomic and justifying continued government intervention. A historically high level of government intervention in the airline industry can be seen as part of a broader political consensus on strategic forms of transport, such as highways and railways, both of which receive public funding in most parts of the world. Profitability is likely to improve in the future as it continues its privatisation and more competitive low-cost carriers proliferate. Due to complications in scheduling flights and maintaining profitability, airlines are many loopholes that can be used with familiar clientele. Many of these air tickets secrets have become increasingly familiar to the general public, the airlines are required to make continuous adjustments. Most airlines make use of differential pricing, a form of price discrimination, in order to sell air services at various prices at different market segments. Factors affecting the price include the days left before departure, accounting load factor, the forecast of total demand from the price point, competitive pricing in force, and variations of the week from the day of departure and by the time of days. Carriers often achieved by dividing each of the aircraft cabin (first, business and economy) to certain categories of travel for billing purposes. One complicating factor is that the origin-destination control ( "O & D"). Someone buys a ticket from Melbourne to Sydney (as an example) for $ 200 (AUD) is competing with someone else who wants to fly Melbourne to Los Angeles via Sydney for the same flight, and who are willing to pay $ 1,400 (AUD) . The airline would have to prefer $ 1400 200-1300; Airlines will have to make hundreds of thousands of similar pricing decisions daily. The advent of advanced computer systems bookings at the end of 1970, mainly Sabre, which easily allowed airlines to perform cost-benefit analyses in a different pricing structures, leading to price discrimination almost perfect in some cases (ie, for the filling each seat on an aircraft or a higher price may be charged to the consumer without driving elsewhere). Price discrimination is considered an anti-business practices, and is defined as price discriminations definition: different prices for identical products. Technically this is the sum of the operation in other airlines, without violating laws. Η αρχαικη αεροπορικες εταιρειες, με hub-συστηματα και ασυμφορη δομων τιμολογησης, ο ορος αυτος που οριζονται νομικα ως επιθεση στις επιχειρησεις, αν και αυτη η πραξη δεν ειναι εξω απο το νομο. Οι αερομεταφορεις χαμηλου κοστους (LCC της), σχετικα με τη νεα σκηνη και δεν ειχε τις επαφες η ποροι θα κηρυτταν τον ορισμο αυτο μια καθαρα νομικη επιχειρηματικες πρακτικες (με την οποια επελεξαν να συμμετεχουν) σε μια μονοπωλιακη πρακτικη σε εκεινους με την προαναφερθεισα αρχαικη δομη τιμολογησης . Οι εθνικοι αερομεταφορεις εχουν ακομη να καθορισουν τον τροπο με τον οποιο οι διακρισεις ειναι μια intenionally επιβλαβη και επιζημια volitionally ενεργει κατοπιν επιχειρηματικων τους απο εναν ανταγωνιστη. Νομοθεσιων προστασια του επιχειρηματικου μπορει να εφαρμοστει, η εκεινων που εχουν τη μεγαλυτερη επιδραση μπορει υπονοουμενα χωρις αποδειξη οτι εχουν αδικηθει, και μπορει επομενως να χρησιμοποιουν το νομικο καθεστως τους, οπως ο εναγομενος να περιορισει LCC manuevaribility της εντος της αγορας. Ενα παραδειγμα ειναι οτι η ζητηση των φορων απο την κυβερνηση των ΗΠΑ για συγκεκριμενους αερολιμενες, για το οποιο η Εθνικη λαβετε την απαλλαγη η επιδοτηση για ειτε α) αρχαιοτητα / κεκτημενων θεραπεια, η β) το νομικο καθεστως του ως οικονομικα στο χειλος (δηλαδη προ της πτωχευσης). Ο εντονος χαρακτηρας των αεροπορικων τιμων οδηγησε σε ο ορος "εισιτηριο πολεμος" για να περιγραψει τις προσπαθειες για να υπονομευθει απο τις αεροπορικες εταιρειες των αλλων αεροπορικων εταιρειων στις ανταγωνιστικες διαδρομες. Μεσω ηλεκτρονικων υπολογιστων, νεα αεροπορικα εισιτηρια μπορουν να δημοσιευονται γρηγορα και αποτελεσματικα στις αεροπορικες εταιριες πωλησεων καναλια. Για το σκοπο αυτο, οι αεροπορικες εταιρειες χρησιμοποιουν οι αεροπορικες εταιρειες Δασμολογικες Publishing Company (ATPCO), που διανεμουν τελευταιες ναυλων για περισσοτερες απο 500 αεροπορικες εταιρειες να Computer Reservation Systems σε ολο τον κοσμο. Full-service αεροπορικες εταιρειες εχουν ενα υψηλο επιπεδο των σταθερων και των λειτουργικων δαπανων, προκειμενου να καθιερωθει και να διατηρηθει αεροπορικων υπηρεσιων: αθλο, τα καυσιμα, τα αεροπλανα, κινητηρες, ανταλλακτικα και εξαρτηματα, υπηρεσιων και δικτυων, εξοπλισμου αεροδρομιο, το αεροδρομιο υπηρεσιων, οι πωλησεις της διανομης, της τροφοδοσιας , την καταρτιση, την ασφαλιση και τα λοιπα εξοδα. Ετσι ολα, αλλα ενα μικρο ποσοστο των εσοδων απο πωλησεις εισιτηριων καταβαλλεται σε μια ευρεια ποικιλια των εξωτερικων παροχων η εσωτερικη κεντρα κοστους. Επιπλεον, η βιομηχανια ειναι δομημενο με τετοιο τροπο ωστε οι αεροπορικες εταιρειες συχνα λειτουργουν ως φορος συλλεκτες. Airline ειναι αφορολογητα καυσιμα, ομως, οφειλεται σε μια σειρα συνθηκων που υφιστανται μεταξυ των χωρων. Οι τιμες των εισιτηριων περιλαμβανει μια σειρα απο τελη, φορους και προσαυξησεις που εχουν μικρη η και χωρις τον ελεγχο του, και οι οποιες περασαν μεσα σε διαφορους φορεις. Αεροπορικες εταιρειες ειναι επισης υπευθυνο για την εφαρμογη των κυβερνητικων κανονισμων. Εαν οι αεροπορικες εταιρειες μεταφερουν επιβατες χωρις την καταλληλη τεκμηριωση για μια διεθνη πτηση, ειναι υπευθυνος για την επιστροφη τους στην χωρα καταγωγης. Σε αντιθεση, Southwest Airlines εχει τις πιο κερδοφορες αεροπορικες εταιρειες απο το 1970. Μαλιστα, ορισμενες πηγες, εχουν υπολογιστει Southwest να τις καλυτερες επιδοσεις των αποθεματων κατα την περιοδο, οι επιδοσεις της Microsoft και πολλες αλλες εταιριες υψηλης αποδοσης. Ο πρωτος λογοι για αυτο ειναι το προιον τους, τη συνοχη και ελεγχου του κοστους. Η ευρεια εισοδο μιας νεας γενιας του αεροπορικες εταιρειες χαμηλου κοστους που αρχιζει απο το τελος του προηγουμενου αιωνα, επιταχυνθηκε η ζητηση υπηρεσιων που πληρες κοστος του ελεγχου των αερομεταφορεων. Πολλες απο αυτες τις χαμηλου κοστους εταιρειες μιμηθουν Southwest Airlines διαφορες αποψεις και, οπως Southwest, ειναι σε θεση να eke ενα συνεπες κερδους σε ολες τις φασεις του οικονομικου κυκλου. Ως αποτελεσμα, ενα shakeout των αεροπορικων εταιριων που συμβαινουν στις ΗΠΑ και αλλου. United Airlines, US Airways (δυο φορες), η Delta Air Lines και Northwest Airlines εχουν δηλωθει ολα Κεφαλαιο 11 πτωχευση, και η American ελαχιστα εχει αποφευχθει κατι τετοιο. Alitalia, η Scandinavian Airlines System, SABENA, η Swissair, Japan Air System, Viasa, Air Canada, Ansett Αυστραλια, και αλλοι εχουν flirted με η κηρυξει πτωχευση απο το 1995, οπως χαμηλου κοστους νεοεισερχομενους αρχιζει εγχωριες αγορες τους ως καλα. Ορισμενοι υποστηριζουν οτι θα ηταν πολυ καλυτερο για την βιομηχανια στο συνολο της, εαν ενα κυμα πραγματικο κλεισιμο ηταν να μειωσει τον αριθμο των "ζομπι" αεροπορικες εταιρειες που ανταγωνιζονται με υγιεις εταιρειες ενω προστατευονται απο τους πιστωτες τεχνητα μεσω του πτωχευτικου δικαιου. Απο την αλλη πλευρα, ορισμενοι επισημαναν οτι η μειωση της παραγωγικης ικανοτητας θα ηταν βραχυβιος δεδομενο οτι θα υπαρξουν μεγαλες ποσοτητες σχετικα νεα αεροσκαφη που πτωχευσεις θα θελουν να ξεφορτωθουν το ξανα και θα εισελθουν στην αγορα, ειτε ως αυξημενη στολων για την επιζωντων η βαση για νεα αεροσκαφη φθηνα ξεκινηματα. Airline χρηματοδοτησης ειναι αρκετα περιπλοκη, δεδομενου οτι οι αεροπορικες εταιρειες ειναι εξαιρετικα μοχλευση επιχειρησεις. Οχι μονο θα πρεπει να αγορασουν (η μισθωση) νεο επιβατηγο αεροπλανο τακτικα οργανα και μηχανες, θα πρεπει να καταβαλει σημαντικες μακροπροθεσμες αποφασεις του στολου με στοχο την πληρη καλυψη των αναγκων των αγορων τους, ενω την παραγωγη ενος στολου που ειναι σχετικα οικονομικοτερη λειτουργια και συντηρηση του. Συγκρινετε Southwest Airlines και η εξαρτηση τους απο ενα ενιαιο αεροπλανο τυπου (το Boeing 737 και παραγωγα), με την πλεον παρωχημενο Ανατολικη Air Lines, που λειτουργουσε 17 διαφορετικους τυπους αεροσκαφων, το καθενα με διαφορετικο πιλοτικα, τον κινητηρα, τη συντηρηση και υποστηριξη των αναγκων . Ενα δευτερο θεμα ειναι οτι χρηματοδοτικης αντισταθμισης κινδυνων αγορες πετρελαιου και καυσιμων, η οποια συνηθως ειναι η δευτερη μετα το εργατικο και το σχετικο κοστος για την εταιρεια. Ωστοσο, με τις τρεχουσες υψηλες τιμες των καυσιμων εχει καταστει το μεγαλυτερο κοστος για μια αεροπορικη εταιρεια. Ενω αντισταθμιστικων μεσων μπορει να ειναι δαπανηρη, μπορουν ανετα να πληρωσουν για τους εαυτους τους πολλες φορες και σε περιοδους ανω αυξηση του κοστους καυσιμων, οπως στην περιοδο 2000-2005. Λογω του συνωστισμου εμφανης σε πολλους διεθνεις αερολιμενες, η κυριοτητα του διαθεσιμου χρονου χρησης σε ορισμενα αεροδρομια (δεξια απο την απογειωση ενος αεροσκαφους η γη σε μια συγκεκριμενη χρονικη στιγμη της ημερας η της νυχτας) εχει καταστει ενα σημαντικο πλεονεκτημα για εμπορευσιμες πολλες αεροπορικες εταιρειες. Σαφως απογειωση χρονοθυριδες σε δημοφιλη φορες την ημερα μπορει να ειναι κρισιμης σημασιας για την προσελκυση των πιο επικερδεις επιχειρηματικες δραστηριοτητες ταξιδιωτη σε μια συγκεκριμενη αεροπορικη εταιρεια της πτησης και για την εγκαθιδρυση ενος ανταγωνιστικου πλεονεκτηματος εναντι ενος ανταγωνιστη αερομεταφορεα. Αν μια συγκεκριμενη πολη εχει δυο η περισσοτερα αεροδρομια, οι δυναμεις της αγορας θα τεινουν να προσελκυουν το λιγοτερο επικερδη δρομολογια, η για εκεινες για τις οποιες ο ανταγωνισμος ειναι πιο αδυναμος, με την λιγοτερη συμφορηση, το αεροδρομιο, οπου slots ειναι πιθανο να ειναι πιο διαθεσιμα και επομενως φθηνοτερα. Αλλοι παραγοντες, οπως οι χερσαιες μεταφορες εγκαταστασεις και περαιτερω συνδεσεις, θα επηρεασουν επισης τη σχετικη εφεση των διαφορων αεροδρομιων και ορισμενες πτησεις μεγαλων αποστασεων μπορει να χρειαζεται να λειτουργουν απο το ενα με το μακρυτερο διαδρομο. Κωδικος μοιρασμα ειναι ο πιο κοινος τυπος αεροπορικης συμπραξης · προκειται για μια αεροπορικη εταιρεια πωλησης εισιτηριων για αλλη αεροπορικη εταιρεια των πτησεων της αεροπορικης εταιριας, με δικο τους κωδικα. Ενα πρωιμο παραδειγμα αυτο ηταν Japan Airlines' code sharing συνεργασια με την Aeroflot στη δεκαετια του 1960 στις πτησεις απο το Τοκιο στη Μοσχα: Η Aeroflot λειτουργησε η πτησεις με αεροσκαφη της Aeroflot, αλλα JAL πωλουνται εισιτηρια για τις πτησεις ως εαν επροκειτο για πτησεις JAL. Η πρακτικη αυτη επιτρεπει στις αεροπορικες εταιριες να επεκτεινουν τις δραστηριοτητες τους, τουλαχιστον στα χαρτια, σε μερη του κοσμου οπου δεν μπορει να καθορισει τις βασεις η αγορα αεροσκαφων. Ενα αλλο παραδειγμα ηταν η αυστριακη-Sabena εταιρικης σχεσης για την Βιεννη-Βρυξελλες-JFK της Νεας Υορκης κατα τη διαρκεια της διαδρομης τα τελη του 60, Sabena, χρησιμοποιωντας ενα Boeing 707 με την αυστριακη χρωματα. Δεδομενου οτι η αεροπορικη εταιρεια της κρατησης αιτηματα διατυπωνονται συχνα απο το ζευγος πολεων (οπως το "δειξε μου πτησεις απο το Σικαγο στο Ντυσελντορφ"), μια αεροπορικη εταιρεια που ειναι σε θεση να μοιραστει με κωδικο αλλη αεροπορικη εταιρεια για μια ποικιλια διαδρομων μπορει να ειναι σε θεση να προσφερουν πραγματι αναφερονται ως Chicago Düsseldorf-μια πτηση. Ο επιβατης Συνισταται ωστοσο, οτι Airline 1 εφαρμοζει η πτηση απο το Σικαγο να πω Αμστερνταμ, και 2 Airline λειτουργει η συνεχιση της πτησης (με διαφορετικο αεροπλανο, που μερικες φορες απο αλλο τερματικο) στο Ντυσελντορφ. Ετσι, ο πρωταρχικος λογικη για πτησεις με κοινο κωδικο για να αναπτυχθει μια ειναι η παροχη των προσφερομενων υπηρεσιων στο ζευγος πολεων ορους, ετσι ωστε να αυξησουν τις πωλησεις. Συχνα οι εταιρειες συνδυαζουν IT επιχειρησεις, αγοραζουν καυσιμα, η αγορα αεροπλανων ως μπλοκ, προκειμενου να επιτευχθουν υψηλοτερες διαπραγματευτικη δυναμη. Ωστοσο, οι συμμαχιες εχουν πλεον επιτυχημενες στην αγοραστικη αορατο προμηθειων και υπηρεσιων, οπως τα καυσιμα. Αεροπορικες εταιρειες που συνηθως προτιμουν να αγορασουν αντικειμενα ορατα στους επιβατες τους να διαφοροποιηθουν απο τους τοπικους ανταγωνιστες. Εαν μια αεροπορικη εταιρεια της κυριας εγχωριο ανταγωνιστη μυγες αεροσκαφη της Boeing, τοτε η αεροπορικη εταιρεια μπορει να προτιμουν να χρησιμοποιουν αεροσκαφη της Airbus, ανεξαρτητα απο το ποιο ειναι το υπολοιπο της συμμαχιας επιλεγει. Καθε φορεας εκμεταλλευσης μιας η προγραμματισμενη πτηση τσαρτερ χρησιμοποιει μια αεροπορικη εταιρεια κλησεως κατα την επικοινωνια τους με τους αερολιμενες η τα κεντρα ελεγχου εναεριας κυκλοφοριας. Τα περισσοτερα απο αυτα τα σημεια ειναι call-προερχονται απο την αεροπορικη εταιρεια η εμπορικη ονομασια, αλλα για λογους ιστοριας, το μαρκετινγκ, η η αναγκη να μειωθει η αμφισημια στην μιλησει αγγλικα (ετσι ωστε οι πιλοτοι δεν κανω λαθος τη αποφασεις πλοηγησης με βαση τις οδηγιες που εχουν δοθει σε διαφορετικο αεροσκαφος) , ορισμενες αεροπορικες εταιρειες και τις αεροπορικες δυναμεις χρηση call-σημαδια λιγοτερο προφανως συνδεονται με την εμπορικη επωνυμια. Για παραδειγμα, η British Airways χρησιμοποιει μια προσκληση-Speedbird υπογραψει, το ονομα του απο το λογοτυπο του προκατοχου του, ενω BOAC America West χρησιμοποιουνται Cactus αντικατοπτριζοντας εν λογω εταιρια η το σπιτι του στην πολιτεια Αριζονα και να διαφοροποιηθει απο πολλες αλλες αεροπορικες εταιριες που χρησιμοποιουν την Αμερικη και τη Δυση και την κληση σημαδια. Η βιομηχανια ειναι συγκυριακη. Τεσσερα η πεντε χρονια της κακης αποδοσης προηγηθει πεντε η εξι χρονια βελτιωσε τις επιδοσεις. Αποδοτικοτητα, αλλα και η καλη χρονια ειναι γενικα χαμηλη, της ταξεως του 2-3% τα καθαρα κερδη μετα απο τοκους και φορους. Στην εποχη του κερδους, οι αεροπορικες εταιρειες μισθωσης νεες γενιες των αεροσκαφων και για την αναβαθμιση των υπηρεσιων σε απαντηση υψηλοτερη ζητηση. Απο το 1980, ο κλαδος δεν εχει κερδισει ξανα το κοστος του κεφαλαιου κατα τις καλυτερες στιγμες της. Αντιθετα, σε περιοδους υφεσης οι απωλειες μπορει να επιδεινωθει δραματικα.
