    A comparative study of international airline’s ancillary functions
    (University of Management and Technology, 2016) Sajid Nadeem
    The airline industry has been struggling to survive in economic turbulence throughout its history. The volatility of the industry structure has driven the policy makers to come up with new sources of income in order to survive the fierce competitions from local and foreign competitors and the high fuel costs. Although airlines have been generating non-ticket revenue in the past by auxiliary functions, e.g. ground handling, maintenance, cargo logistics, duty-free shopping, consultancy, charters, inflight catering, and so on but these functions were generally viewed as separate businesses.The current mutually destructive competition market has created what strategy guru W. Chan Kim called a Red Ocean. In order to create a blue ocean, airlines are now focused on competing through brand differentiation. One strategy for differentiation is offering lower airfaresvia unbundling and offering ancillary services.

In this we have researched on the hiring process of pilots and cabin crew in PIA, That how PIA is hiring their pilots and cabin crew. Then we have compared this practice with national and international carriers that are operating and covering the market of Pakistan. We have seen during our research that there is a system in PIA, but being a government owned airline system could be compromised by some other means instead of getting hire on merit. There are many problems and lapses which should get resolve in time but according to our research we are just focusing on the contemporary practices of PIA. We have also studied some of the literature reviews of best hiring (R.R Impact of personnel recruitment in organization, Effect of selection and recruitment of employees, job satisfaction and retention of employees in an organization) and about the best HR practices of HR department in other organizations and learnt a lot from them and compared it with PIA’s practice. PIA is lacking its abilities, no doubt PIA has potential to grow and have one of the best and experienced employees but some serious problems are not letting PIA to grow. By comparing and analyzing PIA’s external(EFAS) and internal(IFAS) factors we got the result that PIA is on average rate and international and national airlines are giving high competition to PIA and they are playing in market with above average rating.
