A note on optimization modelling of piecewise linear delay costing in the airline industry
We present a mathematical model in an integer programming (I.P. framework for non linear delay costing in the airline industry. We prove the correctness of the model mathematically. Time is discretized into intervals of, for example, 15 minutes. We assume that the cost increases with increase in the number of intervals of delay in a piecewise linear manner. Computational results with data obtained from Sydney airport (Australia) show that the integer programming non linear cost model runs much slower than the linear cost model; hence fast heuristics need to be developed to implement non linear costing, which is more accurate than linear costing. We present a greedy heuristic that produces a solution only slightly worse than the ones produced by the I.P. models, but in much shorter time.

The Evolution of Virgin Australia from a Low Cost Carrier to a Full Service Airline Implications for the Tourism Industry
This chapter explores the evolution of Virgin Blue, a low cost carrier that commenced operations in Australia in 2000, through a process that saw it emerge as a full service airline by 2012. The path of evolution is analyzed with the aid of several strategic marketing concepts including strategic windows and repositioning. Given the contemporary nature of the area of study, the research employs historical narrative and case study methodology. From a tourism industry perspective, the discussion highlights the usefulness of the strategic management approach including the use of strategic windows and demonstrates that firms are able to successfully reinvent themselves to respond to new market opportunities. The results also highlight the need for destination marketing organizations to be alert to changes in airline operations that may fundamentally alter their value proposition in some of the target markets that they are operating in. In the case of Virgin, the airline evolved from a low cost airline to a full service airline and in the process lost some customers who were pursing low cost holiday options but gained customers who were less price sensitive.

Management and Employment Relations Strategies in the Airline Industry: Perspectives on Asia, Australia and the Middle East
This chapter discusses the variety of approaches to the management of people in airlines from the Asia Pacific Middle East region in the face of increasing deregulation. We identify key differences between the institutional environment for airlines in the US versus those in Asia Pacific nations and discuss their competitive implications. Then we describe the competitive and employment relations strategies of seven airlines (both incumbents and new entrants) from four countries. We note that incumbent airlines show little change to their basic employment paradigm, despite major restructuring efforts. New entrants show more variety, both in their approach to union relationships and their approach to relations with employees. However, we find that none of these airlines fully matches the model of Southwest Airlines, one of the world's most successful airlines, and suggest that there may be unexploited opportunities to turn employment relationships into a source of advantage.

Financial Risk Exposures in the Airline Industry: Evidence from Australia and New Zealand
Important financial risks facing the airline industry include interest rate, currency and fuel price risk. This paper estimates the exposure to these risks within the airline industry of Australia and New Zealand, using both linear and non linear specifications, for a variety of horizon lengths. Evidence for exposure, both symmetric and asymmetric, tends to strengthen as the return horizon is lengthened. Exposure to these financial risks is largely unchanged by the terrorist attacks and the collapse of a major competitor in September 2001.

Turbulence ahead: sustaining the airline industry Ansett airlines, Australia
This paper explores the notions of vulnerability and sustainability management within the aviation sector of the global tourism industry in relation to human resource management. It acknowledges that the tourism industry is beset by both external and internal challenges which continuously threaten its competitiveness and viability, and that its aviation sector is particularly vulnerable to both external and internal pressures, at global, regional, local, and organisational levels. Specifically, it examines t11e effects of the hwnan resource management processes and practices of an Australian airline, Ansett Australia, on its inability to survive within a national and global industry enviromnent. Conclusions may be drawn for similar airlines in different countries in Europe and/or Australasia.
