Initially, I thought it would be very strange to sell advertising on an airplane, but now that I think about it, why not? You could never ask for a more captive audience. I feel that the airline industry in general is a commodity business that thinks like a luxury business. Why does there have to be so many people involved in the process? I was surprised to read this on Wikipedia, "Ryanair is the third largest airline in Europe in terms of passenger numbers[4] and the world's largest in terms of international passenger numbers[5]" I think that if this is that successful in Europe, it is inevitable that this type of airline will make it to the states, if there isn't one already. See the ideas post for my idea of a low cost airline. Joe Ryanair is very interesting.

I was surprised to read this on Wikipedia,
“Ryanair is the third largest airline in Europe in terms of passenger numbers[4] and the world’s largest in terms of international passenger numbers[5]”

I think that if this is that successful in Europe, it is inevitable that this type of airline will make it to the states, if there isn’t one already. See the ideas post for my idea of a low cost airline.

Here is the link to the article on an Indian low cost airline and how they reduced costs. This was the activity on strategic coherence we did in class. http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/fine-strokes/00/06/348472/ Hans,
