This will mean that they too lose the protection from the subsidy. Their average costs would increase and they will therefore experience a reduction in disposable income, which would lead to a fall in demand for luxury goods such as airline travel. In addition to the loss in the subsidy Sri Lanka also charges a 28% corporate income tax on a business’s taxable income. Therefore falling costs and an increasing gross profit mean that SriLankan’s taxable income increases and therefore they will experience a greater tax reduction. Figure 11 outlines the impact of this tax on SriLankan. The divergent supply curves on figure 11 shows how the amount of tax paid by the airline increases as their revenue increases. This in turn means that the price of tickets increases from P1 to P tax, which also results in a fall in quantity. In addition to this the airline, as the producer, also bears some of the tax ‘burden’ which is represented by a. Overall the government’s impact on SriLankan is not positive in terms of the benefit they gain from the fall in oil price. The Impact of

“Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.” William Pollard’s, a 20th century physicist, words show us the power of being proactive, and igniting change to strengthen a company’s productive climate (Sellers, Boone, Harper, 2011). Acme Airlines flight attendants lacked incentive to improve the quality of their work, as a result of distrustful management and overall frustration within the company.

Airline and travel industry profitability has been strapped by a series of events starting with a recession in business travel after the dotcom bust, followed by 9/11, the SARS epidemic, the Iraq wars, rising aviation turbine fuel prices, and the challenge from low-cost carriers. (Narayan Pandit, 2005) The fallout from rising fuel prices has been so extreme that any efficiency gains that airlines attempted to make could not make up for structural problems where labor costs remained high and low cost competition had continued to drive down yields or average fares at leading hub airports. In the last decade, US airlines alone had a yearly average of net losses of $9.1 billion (Coombs, 2011).

Evolution of airline industry in India:- Civil aviation took its roots in India in December 1912 with the launch of the first domestic air route between Delhi and Karachi. In 1915, first Indian airline Tata Sons Ltd, initiated a regular airmail service between Karachi and Chennai. In 1953, the government nationalized the airlines industry, by enacting the Air Corporation Act. Subsequently, assets of nine existing airline companies were transferred to two new corporations - Air India International and Indian Airlines - creating a monopoly that perpetuated right up to 1993. In 1994, with the repeal of the Air Corporations Act, private carriers like Jet Airways were permitted to operate scheduled services, subject to fulfillment of certain criteria. However, some operators could not sustain and exited the business in 1997. The operating environment of the domestic airline industry underwent a substantial change between 1997-98 and 2011-12.

Tourism is an industry, with air transport becoming an indispensable factor. One major growing trend in airline industry is market globalization. People travel to other countries for both business and leisure purposes, leading to 7% increment in air travel per year.

Thus, the participation of air transport in facilitating the world trade is prodigious. Aviation implements another economic benefit of the air transport by providing consumer welfare to individuals while considering the environmental brunt such as the air quality, congestion and noise in the proximity of airports.
