MULTIPLE CHOICE (20 PTS) (2pts each) Encircle the correct answer
1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
C. Regional Airlines
D. Combination Carrier
4. 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. Major Airlines (Traditional Business Model)
B. Low - Cost Carrier
C. Regional Airlines
D. AIRLINES
5. Definition of terms. It means that people and goods are moved by aircraft.
A. Air Movement
B. Sky Commute
C. Air Carrier
D. Air Transport
6. Example of a cargo airline.
A. Air Asia Philippines
B. LBC Airlines
C. FedEx
D. Grab Helicopter
7. Example of an All-cargo carrier.
A. Ceb Go
B. American Airlines
C. Atlas Airlines
D. PAL Express
8. Definition of terms. It means that the times and dates of flights are determined in advance.
A. Organized
B. Scheduled
C. Commercial
Private
9. Type of airlines. The in-flight product is higher quality than the bare-bones of 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
C. Regional Airlines
D. Hybrid Airlines
10. It is also called express carriers, operate 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.
A. Integrated Carriers
B. Low - Cost Carrier
C. Regional Airlines
D. Combination Carrier

III. IDENTIFICATION
1. 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.
2. Estimates the total market demand in terms of passengers traveling in each city-pair. An
international network airline might evaluate 30,000 origin and destination markets.
Historical data, trends, seasonality, aggregate pricing, and other macroeconomic data are
combined to create individual city-pair demand forecasts.
3. The flight schedule seeks to maximize network revenues by matching flights with
passenger demand.
4. The flight schedule is 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.
5. From the Market Size forecasts, the airline’s individual market share is estimated. Based
on its relative quality of service versus competitors, the software estimates the share of
the market the airline can expect to capture.
6. It is the airline’s core product designed to solve the customer’s time-space problem.
7. Estimates the number of passengers who will not find an available seat given the
proposed schedule.
8. In practice, the schedule will be disrupted by weather, mechanical failures and a host of
other problems. This application estimates the reliability of the proposed schedule in
actual operation
9. Even if a stop at a hub is required to reach their destination, passengers prefer not to
change aircraft. These direct flights provide some marketing advantage over a competitor
requiring a change of aircraft. Because many aircraft routings are possible through the
hub, optimizing through flights will affect passenger choice and potential revenue.
10. involves innumerable trade-offs because the objectives of maximizing revenue,
minimizing costs, and enhancing reliability conflict.
