I had never heard of this HiFly airline before. HiFly is an airline for hire. Because their planes are unmarked, they can fly routes for all major airlines and private companies. When an airline like Norwegian is starting out, they don’t invest in new planes until they can justify the cost. It also greatly reduces the risk for starting new airlines. In addition to saving the butts of new airlines, HiFly is also used to test new flight routes.

This was followed in March when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, involving the same Max jet model, also crashed minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people on board. Once that is taken care of, it is possible that MAX airline customers may look for ways to delay the delivery of the planes that they have purchased simply because the grounding of the 737 MAX planes means that they will have now missed the busy summer season.

Here’s my best guess at Southwest Airlines’ strategy circa the 1970s (it has changed little since): (1) Buyer + $ value pool. over-served by major airlines) who want a faster and similarly low-cost alternative. When an existing airline attempts a short-hop flight, the airports they fly into (the major urban hubs) take a long time for passengers to get to. There is a big trend emerging in airline de-regulation. Close your eyes for a minute and imagine a strategy.

Airlines knew the product well and bought it year after year. US based airlines such as JetBlue had Airbus fleets. Boeing was having to play catch-up and was at risk of losing their major client, American Airlines, to Airbus. Using the same 737 platform was attractive to airlines in that it was the cheaper option and didn’t require additional training for pilots. The 737 was Boeing’s best-selling product. Pilots were comfortable flying it.

You don’t have to be a frequent flier to have noticed the personal touches that continue to creep into the airline experience. Furthermore, nailing a slick and seamless experience even before customers board their flight becomes a strategic advantage to stay competitive, particularly when airlines are having to look to additional revenue streams, such as on-site retail outlets, to boost profits and meet the heightened expectations of today’s passenger.

Airlines try to distinguish business travelers from vacation travelers. In a recent Pragmatic Marketing Price class, one student “corrected” me to say it wasn’t willingness to pay that matters in pricing, rather it was ability to pay. It was challenging to change his mind, mostly because he was in the middle of an emotional pricing situation with his son and a local college. The college was digging deep into details of his income and his assets.
