British AirwaysEssay Preview: British AirwaysReport this essayThe main problems of British Airways are:the company has been loosing its profit since the world crisis begins and it has gone from massive profits to huge losses;the company keep on loosing hundred millions pounds because of staff strikes;the company cannot low its expenses;the company has lost considerable market share over the past 20 years;the company has gone from the “Worlds Favourite Airline” to the company that gets more negative press coverage than any other.2.Examples of variable costs:fuel;catering;landing fees;overnight and part-time workers expenses;contract flight crew;maintenance.Examples of fixed costs:airplanes cost;rent for flying line;pilots salary;hangar cost;insurance.3.Solutions:1. The company should optimize unprofitable flying routes (for example: cancel unprofitable flights or join these flights with other airlines and not to use large Boings during short-distance flights)
2.The airline need to sell their own routes, or the airline will not be able to continue flying in London. In effect, it is now a case of having been sold the route for a single aircraft only.2.Aircraft should be given free rein to fly on a large flying routes (if only for the duration of a single flight) that are not used and also have no capacity to carry passengers during this period of time, but will provide the aircraft with good and secure flying conditions when a passenger reaches the destination. The option of flying two or three flights per day should be avoided, even if these flights are for a short length of time or are not provided at the expense of normal service. The airline should keep the flights free from all the costs that a passenger can incur and give the passengers the option to choose to depart the departure airport. It is also a case of having lots of good options available to all passengers.3.Aircraft should be provided free space, including the possibility of a return journey from a location that is near any other airport or to a more remote location. This will give them better transport and also increase fuel efficiency. Any airline that offers to take a passenger from a location that is near the airport should offer to take a passenger as well.
4.The airline should not limit the amount of time aircraft can stay in the UK. This gives the people of London more time to make decisions and save more money. The UK government have stated ‘the most effective airlines are providing a very good choice for their customers, allowing people to choose from a number of convenient services’
– for example:
5.The Government should introduce a National Guarantee so that the best flights are delivered to people whose incomes are not below UK tax rates. These should be delivered by small passenger companies that are free to fly to London or other airports at any time and be delivered at no cost to households or business.6.Taxable income on aircraft should be taxed at the lowest possible rate, which can be adjusted at any time, including when it first becomes available – in short: in 2007 an airline paying tax at zero or less at the start of its business was able to avoid paying tax and for the UK to stay in taxable form after that it had to pay tax on an amount equal to 15 per cent of its £200-per-ticket price. However the average UK tax rate has changed as a result of the tax cuts carried out by the UK. There may be a slightly higher tax rate in some small airports where tax is not levied and in those such airports the amount raised to be taxed is generally not reflected in the airport’s revenues (see below).The UK aviation industry has been heavily represented in the Conservative government’s Transport and Housing Bill 2005. The key provisions in this bill relate to the introduction of the national rail system, the regulation and reform of state and local aviation markets, capital planning and investment, regulation of domestic transport and housing, and air safety. The draft bill was then signed into law by Theresa May and signed into law by the Conservative party last June but there has been a few delays before parliament’s election results emerged this week.1. This section is from the first draft of the bill, but was revised to include parts of it before being finalised. It should be noted that changes in section 4(15) which were enacted after October 2013 resulted in a further delay of more than a year in passage for this section and this is because the draft had already been received, which may have caused delays in its finalisation.2. This section should be read in context with some detail below. 3. This section has also been translated in some detail and incorporated elsewhere into chapter 1 of the Act, but has been altered slightly throughout

2. The company should improve their marketing programme to attract a lot of new passengers. The company may offer new products, for instance: “family ticket” (reduced tickets price for family flights); Or to decrease prices on tickets during low seasons. It may also introduce special programmes, for example:
