I. Multiple choice (2pts. each) 20 pts.
1. It is also called express carriers, operates worldwide, door-to-door networks,

mostly shipping small packages. Packages are transported across a global,
multiple hub-and-spoke system with a mixed aircraft fleet ranging from small
turboprop aircraft to wide-body jets. For door to door delivery, a much larger fleet
of ground delivery vehicles is also required.

B. Low - Cost Carrier
C. Regional Airlines
D. Combination Carrier
2. Example of an All-cargo carrier.
A. Ceb Go
B. American Airlines
C. Atlas Airlines
D. PAL Express
3. Type of airlines. The in-flight product is higher quality than the bare-bones LCCs
including features such as greater legroom, in-flight entertainment, higher quality meal
and beverage service and, in some instances, a business or first class cabin.
A. Major Airlines (Traditional Business Model)
B. Low - Cost Carrier
D. Hybrid Airlines
4. Example of a cargo airline.

7.Type of airlines. These companies have international route structures and operate a
fleet of large-jets. Make business decisions that allow them to offer lower fares to
passengers
A. Major airlines (traditional)
B. Major airlines (low-cost)
C. Regional
D. Hybrid airlines
8. These are passenger airlines, mostly LCC/CNC, that also offer freight services with
cargo carried in belly holds of passenger aircraft. In addition to belly capacity on
passenger aircraft, some European and Asian carriers also operate dedicated freighter
aircraft on both scheduled and charter flights; however, the substantial belly-hold
capacity of wide-body aircraft flown on many international routes has reduced the need
for a separate fleet of cargo aircraft.
A. Integrated Carriers
B. Low-cost carriers
D. Combination Carrier
9. Type of airlines. These companies have regional route structures and operate a fleet
of smaller aircraft. Operate networks over shorter distances than major airlines.
A. Legacy
B. Low-cost airlines
C. Regional
D. Hybrid airlines
10. It is an organization that provides commercial air transport of passenger, cargo, or
both. Most are scheduled operations, as opposed to charter operations that operate
flights on demand.
A. Integrated carrier
B. Low-cost carriers
C. Regional airlines
D. Airlines
II. Modified true or false (2pts. each) 20 pts
1. Airline planning encompasses strategic forecasts developed by a small staff to

short-range tactical planning involving several departments and many managers.
2. SWOT analysis an acronym for strategies, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats, is a common framework for long-range planning.
3. For large airlines, new aircraft orders of several hundred aircraft are common
with deliveries spread over 8 to 10 years. New aircraft may be slated for
growth, upgrade and replacement of the existing fleet or, more commonly,
for both.
4. The flight schedule is the airline’s core product designed to solve the
customer’s time-space problem.
5. Reliability is the flight schedule subject to disruptions, particularly for weather and
aircraft mechanical problems. The schedule must incorporate sufficient slack
resources to absorb delays and provide competitive on-time service.
6. Short-haul international routes will usually be operated by wide-body jets
whereas regional jets are restricted to shorter routes.
7. Flight schedule development involves innumerable trade-offs because the
objectives of maximizing revenue, minimizing costs, and enhancing reliability
conflict.
8. The flight schedule, sometimes known as the schedule of services, lists the
destinations or routes operated, the flight frequency and times, and type of
aircraft assigned to each flight.
9. Long-range planning extending out 5 to as much as 30 years begins with a
corporate vision and mission statement.
10. A few airlines are working on dynamic scheduling which changes fleet
assignments within a few days of operation.
III. Identification (2pts. each) 10 pts.
1. It estimates the number of passengers who will not find an available seat given
the proposed schedule.
2. Specific aircraft fleet types are assigned to the basic schedule of services so that
capacity meets estimated demand subject to constraints. Choices might involve a
wide-body versus narrow-body aircraft on a particular route segment.
3. The schedule planner lowers the cost per available seat mile (CASM or unit
cost), the standard measure of airline production cost, with high utilization of
aircraft, crew, and other assets. High utilization spreads fixed costs over more
available seat miles (ASM), thus lowering the CASM.
4. The flight schedule must also be feasible given numerous constraints. For
example, a schedule that requires more aircraft than the airline operates violates
a constraint and is not feasible
5. It involves innumerable trade-offs because of the objectives of maximizing
revenue, minimizing costs, and enhancing reliability conflict.
