COMMERCIAL MODULE |
||
Operating in a fundamentally unstable environment, Commercial is the engine which drives the airline as a business. Industry leaders are usually firms which have good records for forecasting demand and cost conditions. Commercial augments the airline's value by matching ever-changing market demand with available resources while ensuring a satisfactory return on investment. Future capital requirements of the airline depend, in large measure on reasoned projections of market trends. |
|
FliteBase facilitates the development of required resource/demand synergies by monitoring environmental changes, by identifying competitive opportunities and threats, and by assisting i the implementation of strategy. Costly trial-and-error methods are avoided through the use of business simulation techniques. The Commercial Manager uses FliteBase to monitor market trends, to define timetables and fares, to signal resource demands to the remainder of the airline, and to report performance. |
