- Description: Abstract: The deregulation of the airline industry was a landmark event and brought about various changes in the air transport market, both locally and internationally. One important after-effect of deregulation was the entry of low-cost carriers (LCCs), which increased competition in the market and offered passengers the freedom to choose among airlines and the option of lower airfares. Low-cost carriers have been very successful across the globe and the main reason for this lies in their simplified business model. These types of airlines try to keep costs as low as possible. One way of doing this is for LCCs to operate from secondary or alternative airports. This trend is observed in the United States of America as well as Europe. When LCCs fly from secondary airports in areas where there is more than one airport, the need arises to determine what drives passengers to select the secondary or alternative airport. In South Africa and more specifically, Gauteng, Lanseria International Airport is considered as an alternative airport and currently two LCCs operate from there... , M.Com. (Transport Economics)

- Description: Abstract: Sustainable development is a central topic of debate with regard to the social, economic and environmental activities of public and private organisations. The South African government has adopted a forward-looking policy in this area since the concept of sustainable development must be integrated into the activities of the various government departments and organisations. The aviation industry involves mass transport which is rapid, safe and reliable. To date, over the 20thcentury, the quality of air transport had seen a significant improvement, costs were reduced and demand kept on increasing. The social and economic advantages of air transport are extensive; however, its environmental costs are high. At the current rate of development, air transport is considered to be unsustainable in the long-term. Since, it is considered as a process based on innovations, which would ensure long-term sustainable airline. To this end, this study aimed at assessing the key indicators of sustainable development in the airline industry, using the South African airline industry as case study. In order to achieve this goal, the study adopted a two-fold approach noting that (1) critical appraisal of existing literature on sustainability practices within the airline sector (2) refining the identified flaws by means of quantitative research questionnaires survey... , M.Tech.
