This study tries to move past basic expressive data of carrier travelers to recognize attitudinal examples and connections in the route shoppers at fluctuating levels of voyaging recurrence in the perspective of business flying industry. This study also tries to identify what a passenger want from the very beginning to the end of his/her journey, and change in needs and wants of airline passengers which is changed in past few years due to the rapid change in technological advancements. This study will demonstrate the correlation between individual trials as reported by the survey respondentsItem AIRLINE MARKETING PLAN(UMT, Lahore, 2016) ALI MEHMOOD and AHSAN NISARWe are group of two friends who have worked on the marketing project of an airline. The main reason of this project is to realize the importance of marketing in airline industry and what marketing can do to promote a business. We will launch a new airline whose name will be LoCost (feel free to fly). Our basic task and objective is to launch an airline in the current economic condition. The airline we will launch will only caters the society of Pakistan which are lower middle and middle. As Pakistan is suffering from terrorism and is in worst condition of its life and people here are depressed. We will provide cheap and healthy transport to all these depressed people. The name of our airline will attract the customer and make a sense in their minds that the airline is very cheap and it is the main reason why we choose such a name. We will use simple marketing techniques to market our product and will not waste money on other expensive techniques to market our product rather we will use sponsorship technique i.e. will sponsor cultural events, sports etc. Our main objective is to finish the fear among the people that the air travel is very expensive and is only for rich people or the people of high standards. We are using the strategy which is “Cut the cost, earn the revenue”. Due to this strategy our in-flight luxuries are reduced which has greater effect on the cost. The population of Pakistan is increasing day by day so we have decided to hit such a segment of society which is greatly affected by the cost of air travels and the society is lower middle and middle class because they do not think beyond basic requirements like food, shelter and clothes. We will do something for the largest part of society of Pakistan which is lower middle and middle class and let them think that there is someone who care for them “Feel Free to Fly”. We have done a lot of research and gather a lot of important information but now we got to know the exact situation of Pakistan through PESTEL analysis and business opportunities. We have learned that there is a lot of vacant space available in the aviation industry to improve and unique ideas can insist investors to invest in this industry. The idea of LoCost will bring revolution in the aviation industry and our competitors will use our strategies to market their business.Item AIRPORT RAMP SAFETY AND ITS OPERATIONAL EFFICEINCY(UMT, Lahore, 2016) HUZAIFA JAMSHAID and M.BILAL RAZAPrevious research on expectations, attitude and satisfaction and travel patterns regarding the major airlines worldwide has provided a little more than an interesting expressive “picture” of the average airline passenger.

So there is an immense need to promote the ground handling organizations for catering the increasing demand of air travels in Pakistan. No doubt ground handling business is a low profit margin business. Just because the equipment’s and procedures they are using are too old and incurring a large amount of revenue for the provision of services. The purpose of this is to introduce new techniques and systems for the ground handling organizations that will directly influence the cost. There is a brief discussion on the available resources for the GHA’s which are very economical, this help to reduce the direct operating cost of the operations. In this, the new technological, financial and management perspective has been discussed briefly that how it can be improve. The direct operating cost and turnaround time are two main factors which has direct impact on revenue. By keeping in view the importance of these two factors many new ways and solution have been discussed in detail for reducing the turnaround time and direct operating cost. In this project there are so many new systems which have been introduced for smooth and efficient operations in terms of provision of services by the ground handling organizations.Item AIRPORT RAMP SAFETY AND ITS OPERATIONAL EFFICEINCY(UMT, Lahore, 2016) HUZAIFA JAMSHAID and M.BILAL RAZAIn aviation industry, aircraft operations have two phases, one when it maneuvers in the air and the other is when the aircraft is on the ground.

And we will also discuss that are we getting proper benefits from it or not and comparison of International Airlines and National Carrier getting benefits from it. The ILS Cat-III B operation objective at Lahore International is to provide safe landing in low visibility as we know in Pakistan in winters the Fog is on peak so it was our need. Although ILS Cat-III B on Lahore International also give airlines an opportunity to invest (by upgrading their aircrafts and giving their crew ILS proper trainings) as it is basic need of airlines to maintain their schedule throughout the year without any diversion due to bad weather and airline can lower their costs incurred by diversions to other airports and preventing their image and passenger compensation. As ILS Cat-III B is the most advance technology instrument installed at Lahore International Airport and its operational approval for maintaining a specific level of safety at Lahore International Airport depends upon certain elements (The Aircraft, The Airfield, The Flight Crew, The operator) we will discuss in this document. The elements listed above must comply with the regulations established and also the aircraft should be approved for ILS Cat-III B operations and the specific airfield should also be approved for installing ILS Cat-III B and its operation which we will discuss briefly in this document.Item Project Report Strategic analysis of contemporary practices in hiring of pilots and cabin crew at Pakistan International Airlines(UMT, Lahore, 2016) AwaisNadeem and Fatima HafeezWe have completed this project for the requirement of our Bachelor’s degree program from University of Management and Technology. This report includes about the strategic analysis of contemporary practices being used or running in Human Resource Department of PIA. 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. In the end we have done its SWOT and PESTLE analysis, and concluded our report.Item Brand Management practices in Different Airlines(UMT, Lahore, 2016) Junaid Muzaffar and Hamza MansoorBrand management is becoming more important with the changing of time and organizations are trying to differ themselves from other organization, the changing of time is playing a huge role in all these organization especially in aviation industry.
