Southwest Airlines has come from an underdog to being one of the best airlines in the industry. This reputation translates from its strategic management of resources. The Co-founder and former CEO, Herb Kelleher, established a unique corporate culture that leads to high customer satisfaction, employees’ morale, and one of the most profitable airlines in the industry (Jackson et al., 2012). The corporate culture concentrates on empowerment the workforce. It shows through Southwest Airlines core values that “happy employees lead to happy customers, which create happy shareholders” (Jackson et al., 2012). Since its first grand opening in 1971, Southwest Airlines has shown steady growth, and now carries more passengers than any other low-cost carrier in the world (Wharton, 2010). To expand the business operations, Southwest Airlines took over AirTran in 2010 as a strategy to gain more market share for the Southeast region and international flights. However, the acquisition of AirTran brought upcoming challenges both internally and externally for Southwest Airlines. In this case analysis, the objectives are focusing on the change process post the merger with AirTran, and evaluating alternatives to address the impacts of the merger.

Thus it is truly stated that aviation forms a vital core infrastructure area without which a country economy is handicapped.

However, profit maximization in the aerospace industry does not exist but the real concern is survival. With the performance of highly educated engineers who work from contract to contract and not on the beginning to the final design or the construction. Aerospace companies focus more on the sales and contracts rather than the profits. The personal compensation and personal command of the managers is closely tied to the sales of the products rather than the profit levels.

Since the 1980s the situation in the civil aviation industry has changed dramatically, and although the government still retains some form of in-direct control over the aviation sector and the ‘former’ national airlines in specific, issues related to economization and efficiency of the business enterprise take primacy in dictating strategic and operational decisions of the airline operators. This shift in the approach to the regulation of the aviation sector around the globe has also greatly influenced issues related to workforce organization in this industry, especially in the Western world.

Individuals have an intuitive desire to stand out among others. They constantly strive to attain wealth, position and honor through their work. However, running a successful business nowadays is a very hard goal to achieve especially for individuals that work in the airline industry due to its natural competitive environment. There are numerous airlines that are struggling to survive. It is very unlikely to hear about young airlines achieving success at an early stage of their operations. Nonetheless, Air Arabia, a young airline that started operations in 2003, shows promising results that predict its success in the future and its ability to be competitive airline in the GCC airline industry due to its implementation of a successful growth strategy that correlates with the airline’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and due to its strong financial performance.
