TACA Airlines was founded in 1931 by Lowell Yerex. When it first began operations, TACA would fly single-engine Stinson planes. The sole idea of TACAs founder was to establish an airline for each Latin-American country. But despite this idea, only TACA International survived out of all the franchise airlines that were created. In 1945, Yerex left the company and TACA was forced to move its headquarters to El Salvador, where the company was able to modernize and expand. Between the 1940s to the 1990s, TACA bought out a majority of shares of flag carrier airlines of Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, and began operations under the name Grupo TACA. TACA was later organized as an international company, setting its headquarters in San Salvador under the name TACA International Airlines. During the 1940s and 1960s, TACA Airlines began to acquire turboprop airliners such as the DC-3 and the Vickers Viscount to be able to expand its routes around the Americas.
When examining the major impact of an airline, one should take into account the airline’s history. Air North -the Yukon’s airline has been around for 36 years and dates back to the 1970’s. Air North is a regional based carrier that provides service within the Yukon (the westernmost and smallest of Canada’s three federal territories) between the Yukon and British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories and Alaska (Fly Air North, 2013). These services also include scheduled passenger service, charter services for passenger and/or cargo and cargo and ground handling services (Fly Air North, 2013). The charter passenger service is provided throughout Canada and the United States. The Yukon’s airline is headquartered in Whitehorse, Yukon. It is the largest airline in the Yukon and is one of only five Canadian carriers that provide a year round scheduled domestic air service with jet equipment (Fly Air North, 2013). The airline also has over two hundred full-time and part-time employees in the Yukon and also operates a base in Vancouver, which employs over sixty people. Air North is one of the largest private sector employers in the Yukon (Fly Air North, 2013). Interestingly enough, is that one of fifteen Yukoners hold an equity or employment stake in Air North, Yukon’s Airline (Fly Air North, 2013).
In today's competitive marketplace, all firms are seeking ways to improve their overall performance. One such method of improvement, recently adopted by many firms, is benchmarking. Benchmarking is a technique used to evaluate internal business processes. "In this analysis, managers determine the firm's critical processes and outputs, baseline those processes, then compare the performance of each process against a standard outside the industry" (Bounds, Yorks, Adams, & Ranney 1994). To effectively improve a business process to world-class quality, managers must find a firm that is recognized as a global leader, not just the industry standard. Successful benchmarking requires tailor-made solutions, not just blind copying of another organization. Measurement and interpretation of data collected is the key to creating business process solutions.
The results of airline deregulation speak for themselves. Since the government got out of the airline business, not only has there been a drop in prices and an increase in routes, there has also been a remarkable increase in airline service and safety. Airline deregulation should be seen as the crowning jewel of a federal de-regulatory emphasis. Prices are down: Airline ticket prices have fallen 40% since 1978. Flights are up: The number of annual departures is up from 5 million in 1978 to 8.2 million in 1997. Flights are safer: Before deregulation, there was one fatal accident per 830,000 flights, now the rate is one per 1.4 million flights. So what's the problem?

Canada benefits from international trade in a number of ways. Admittedly, Canada’s soil and weather conditions are not suitable to produce goods such as banana, tea, coffee or spices that its citizens commonly consume. But, it does not mean that Canada should import only those goods that cannot be produced within the country. There are many other strong arguments going beyond the banana or tea examples for active participation in world trade. When two countries join together to trade, each can specialise in production of those goods that it can produce at lower cost than the other using less resources and export the surplus to the other country. Since resources are limited, they can together produce more goods and services in this process and

The low cost airlines targets customers that are seeking no frills connectivity between cities at low ticket prices.

One of the characteristics of service offered by AirAsia is intangibility. Services intangibility is inevitable and sometimes could be a challenge for every service provider. According to Pride & Ferrell (2011) intangibility of services can be defined as the characteristic that the service is not physical and cannot be perceived by the senses. For instance like AirAsia which provides flight services, it is impossible for the customers to touch the flight as it is a journey to specific destinations. They might be able to touch the plane, but in the context of services, the customers do not own the physical tools or equipment used to deliver the service but are only entitled to get the service which is the flight service.
