Интеграция авиакомпаний в динамично развивающуюся систему международных авиационных пассажирских перевозок

Abstract

Air transport is one of the most rapidly developing branches of a world economy. Experts from the Brookings Institution and George Mason University have estimated that consumers save some $19.4 billion per year thanks to the lower fares resulting from a competitive airline marketplace. The passenger traffic of Russian airlines has increased by 26.2% to 56.9 million passengers in 2010 breaking the 18-years record. Interaction within airline alliances became an essential condition of operating within the globalised market. Consolidation allows carriers to get rid of excessive competition, optimize the network, organizational structure and strengthen their position in the market.
