Introduction Over the past 30 years the aviation industry has faced a great revolution, especially regarding
the economic and regulatory aspects of the industry. This essay assesses the current business
environment of the airline industry in the European ‘Open Skies’, by analysing how the
aviation sector has been deregulated in the 1990s. Furthermore, a PESTE analysis of the
European aviation industry is provided with the aim to highlight those factors influencing a
possible new airline entering the market with flights between London Stansted and Pisa
Galileo Galilei airports. Finally, this essay will cover the barriers and opportunities for a new
airline wishing to enter the market by focusing on the Porter’s Five Forces tool.
The Airline Business Environment in the Deregulated European Union From a historical point of view, governments have always regulated the airline industry; from
establishing airline safety standards to controlling flights frequency and routes. This situation
however, changed during the years. Indeed, Scharpenseel (2001, p.91-92) noted how the
European Union started to deregulate its airline market in 1993 with the setup of the Single
Aviation Market in the European Union, which allowed European airlines to operate
commercial flights without restrictions on market access, the setting of fares and capacity.
The establishment of a Single Aviation Market, which was concluded in 1997 (Shaw, 2007
p.53; Armstrong and Bulmer, 1988), let to an increase in both competition and opportunities
for the European airlines as well as ensuring the highest safety level. As a result, the number
of scheduled airlines and routes within the EU greatly increased (European Commission,
2007), which however does not always reveal the real level of air transport activity (European
Commission, 2006).
PESTE Analysis The PESTE analysis is an essential tool that provides an overview of macro divers of a
determinate business environment (Cunningham and Harney, 2012). Indeed, it helps
understand the context of the external environment by dividing the relevant factors into the
five following categories: Political; Economic; Social; Technological and Environmental.
Cunningham and Harney (2012, p.195) also reported how the critical factors that can be noted
from this type of analysis are those that have an important influence on the development and
sustain of “competitive advantage”.
The following tables show the PEST analysis of the European airline industry; indispensably
tool for a new airline keening to enter the European aviation market.

Newer Airline versus Established and more Bureaucratic Airlines Morgan (1997, p.12-19) provided information regarding the mechanisation of organisations.
Indeed, he noted how many institutions are following a mechanical management structure
where employees who interact with clients have to follow a determinate code of instruction.
‘Machine organisations’ have a hierarchical structure where there is only one way from the
bottom to the top of the chain structure. Although a mechanical approach can help an
organisation to operate in a functional way, it could also have negative consequences in some
environments.
Those mechanical organisations are often called bureaucratic and Doganis (2006, p. 233)
noted how usually bureaucracy is present in state-owned airlines. Indeed, the consequence of
political interference, over-staffing and repeated changed in management control lead to a
situation where taking decisions and adopt new strategies result slow and problematic, which
can have negative impacts on customers. Although this form of management (where decisions
are usually taken at the top of one airline management structure) could have been accepted in
the previously regulated market, it is completely unsuitable in the deregulated and highly
competitive market of today where a more dynamic structure is needed.
A new airline entering the market has a flatter hierarchy and usually wants to offer lower
prices than its competitors. However, the more established airline(s) could “refuse to allow
passengers to transfer from the new entrant to their own services” as noted by Armstrong and
Bulmer (1988, p.191-192). As a result, the new entrants should focus on providing a
customer-oriented approach also because established airlines have cost advantages over new
airlines. Furthermore, they could overcome those barriers by using less crowded airports
(Grimm et al., 2006).
Analysis of the Opportunities and Challenges of a new Airline entering the Deregulated EU Market
Overview of the Two Airports and their Access to the City Centres London Stansted Airport is located 48 km northeast of London and it is mainly used by low-
cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. Passengers arriving at this airport can reach London
by choosing between taxis, car-hire services, different bus services such as National Express
and Terravision (which operates 24/7) and lastly by taking the Stansted Express train; the
fastest method. Centre London to Stansted airport with the bus services takes about one hour
and it is the cheapest mode with the cost of a single-way ticket range between £6 and 8£,
whereas a taxi could charge up to £99 (London Stansted Airport, 2014; Terravision, 2014;
![Page 5: Passarello (2014) essay on the business environment of the aviation industry](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f121de1a28abee208b4585/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Stansted Express, 2014). Finally, based on the author experiences, reaching the Centre of
London and vice versa by using the bus services results tiring and unpleasant, but at the same
time it is the more affordable option available.
Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport, on the other hand is located on the coast of Tuscany at one
kilometre from the centre of Pisa and approximately 80 kilometres from Florence (Pisa
International Airport, 2018). Although walking to the centre of Pisa only takes about fifteen
minutes, there are few types of transport that connect the Airport to the main cities of
Tuscany; The basic method is the local bus service which operates regular routes between the
airport and the centre of Pisa in about ten minutes with fares under €2.50 for one way.
Alternatively, passengers can take the regional train, which goes straight to Pisa central
station in less than five minutes and costs about €4.50. Finally, there are private bus
companies that connect the airport with the main cities of Tuscany, as well as local taxi and
local car-hire services outside the airport, which however have higher costs (Campagna et al.,
2012; Pisa International Airport, 2008). Indeed, reaching the centre of Pisa and Florence
results to be easy and affordable.
As a result of this analysis, it seems that although Pisa airport may be a convenient choice for
a new airline, Stansted airport might not be the best option due to its far distance to the centre
of London and to the high number of incumbents already operating on the airport.
Competition At the moment, the only airline company that operates between Pisa airport and London
Stansted airport is the low-cost airline Ryanair, which operates on average, four direct daily
flights (Skyscanner, 2014). However, there are other important airlines such as Easyjet and
British Airways, which although being more expensive, run direct flights between Pisa and
London Gatwick and Heathrow Airports from which is easier to reach the centre of London
compared to Stansted airport (Skyscanner, 2014). As a result, the new airline would have to
compete mainly with the two-mentioned low-cost airline and the more business-oriented
British Airways.
Furthermore, travelling between London and Pisa can be done mainly by air as all the other
forms of transport would require an extensive amount of time and would cost much more. As
a result, the new airline entering the market with this route will only have other airlines as
competitors and no other forms of transport.

Market Segments Visit Britain (2014) reported how people travelling between the two destinations do it mainly
for holiday, business purposes and VFR. People travelling from Pisa to London result to be
mainly male between 25 and 34 years old, although new trends suggest an increase of people
aged 45-54. Pisa Airport is one of the fastest growing airports in Italy with about 4,479,690
passengers in 2013. People travel to Pisa mostly during the summer months likely due to its
close position to the Tuscan Riviera. However, many passengers fly to Pisa airport for short
city-breaks in both London and the near located Florence, both famous destinations for
cultural tourists. Additionally, the route Pisa – London Stansted is the most used with 301,403
passengers in 2013 (Enac, 2014; Anna Aero, 2008).
Finally, both Pisa and London host several conferences and are home of important
universities. As a result, business travellers may need to visits those destinations several
times per year, which can be seen as a positive factor for the establishment of a new route
between the two destinations.
Prospect of Growth and Seasonality The United Kingdom economy results increasing and as a result, it is likely that more people
will take holiday trips (BBC News, 2014a). On the other hand, the Italian economy is
struggling due to the country high unemployment rate (BBC News, 2014b). However,
according to Campagna et al. (2012) the number of passengers and routes from Pisa airport is
increasing. Indeed, between the year 2000 and 2010 the number of passengers increased of
226 per cent with July and August being the two months with the highest passengers’
movement. On a daily analysis, Saturday results to be the day with the highest movement of
people, followed by Sunday and Friday, respectively. Finally, according to these data, it is
predicted that the market will keep growing in the low-term future, which can be seen as a
positive factor for the new entrant.
Difficulty of Entry Despite the deregulation of the European aviation industry, entering the market for a new
organisation, surely can still be seen as challenging. Indeed, Porter (2008, p.8-9) argued that
although new entrants “bring new capacity and a desire to gain market share that puts
pressure on prices, costs, and the rate of investment necessary to compete”, already
established companies have seven main advantages on new entrants, which will be assessed
below. Furthermore, Lynch (2006, p.95) pointed out that new entrants usually enter a new
market when the profit margins are attractive and the threats of entry are low. Finally, Grimm
et al. (2006) noted how the Michael Porter’s Five Forces is the most popular analytical model
for an organisation to analyse the competitive environment.
![Page 7: Passarello (2014) essay on the business environment of the aviation industry](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f121de1a28abee208b4585/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Economies of scale: Are particularly important in some industries. In fact, when a company
produces on a large scale, its unit costs of production usually go down. This poses a
disadvantage to those new entrants, as they would have to enter the market on a large scale in
order to obtain the same level of costs of the already established corporations (Lynch, 2006,
p.95; Johnson et al., 2005). Supply-side economies of scale are likely to be introduced by
already established airlines confirming their monopoly at the disadvantage of new entrants
(Czerny et al., 2008). Conversely, Porter (2008, p.10) noted that the demand-side benefits of
scale arise when more customers want to pay for a determinate product or service, which in
result discourage buyers to purchase from a new entrant. Thus, a new small airline would find
it difficult to establish itself on the chosen route due to the presence of airline such as Ryanair,
which benefits from a large economy of scale and operates on the same route.
Capital requirements: The initial capital investment needed to enter the market can differ
based on technology and scale (Johnson et al., 2005). The need of investment can often put
off new entrants willing to access the market. Especially when the capital goes to
unrecoverable expenditures such as R&D and risky marketing. However, if a market result
highly profitable, a new entrant will likely obtain financial capital from investors. It is the
case of the airline industry where although new aircrafts are expensive, they have a great
resale value (Porter, 2008, p.11).
Access to distribution channels: Johnson et al. (2005) pointed out that many organisations
have control over distribution channels due to customer loyalty or because are owner of the
distribution channel (vertical integration). Sometimes it can happen that the access to
distribution channels result quite difficult and therefore organisations need to find different
ways. For example, low-cost airlines have ‘bypassed’ the classic distribution through travel
agencies by selling their services directly on the internet (Porter, 2011, p.11). Additionally,
Balobaba et al. (2009) noted that when a new airline enters a new market, cannot be awarded
more than two flights per day, which is not enough to establish an important position at a
major airport. This is also due to the restrictions posed by busy airports (Grimm et al., 2006).
Differentiation: Lynch (2006, p.96) noted how long-established organisations could create
barriers of entry for new companies by differentiating their product or services. Indeed, new
entrants would have to spend more money in order to obtain a valuable place on the market.
Additionally, in the airline industry, the concept of product differentiation goes far beyond the
basic difference of class-distinction. Indeed, airlines can charge different prices based on the
services provided, which would have different production costs as noted by Balobaba et al.
![Page 8: Passarello (2014) essay on the business environment of the aviation industry](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f121de1a28abee208b4585/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

(2009). As a result, the new entrant could differentiate its service from the low-cost
competitor operating on the same route.
Experience: Incumbents airlines usually can benefit of their experience on the market, which
allows them to operate on a more efficient way and therefore are advantaged compared to
new entrants (Porter, 2008, p.11). Indeed, experienced organisations have advantages related
to the cost and customer/supplier loyalty (Johnson, Scholes and Whittington, 2005).
Expected retaliation: Refers to how the already established organisations may react to the
decision of a new industry to enter the market. The decisions adopted by a new entrant are
often shaped by the expected retaliations of incumbents (Porter, 2008, p.12). In the airline
industry, overcapacity can lead to retaliation from already established airlines (Hitt et al.,
2009), which could deny to passengers the interchangeability of tickets (Armstrong and
Bulmer, 1988).
Government intervention: Lynch (2006, p.96) pointed out how government have endorsed
legislations in order to protect organisations. Within the EU, the European Commission has
worked closely with European government with the aim to reduce the number of barriers for
new organisations. In the European aviation industry there are several limitations, which
could affect a new entrant such as the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which was
extended to the aviation sector with the aim to reduce greenhouse gases emission (European
Commission, 2014) and regulations on safety and passengers right. Finally, those barriers will
not limit the new entrant since it will only operate on a single route.
Conclusion It is clear that over the past thirty years, that the aviation industry has seen a radical change in
its regulatory aspect. Indeed, the deregulation of the airline sector has eased the establishment
of new airline companies on the market. During the years, many new companies have
appeared on the market in the past twenty years, especially low-cost airlines. Although some
of them have failed to establish themselves on the market, some of them have been able to
surpass the initial barriers and become highly profitable organisations.
Although the deregulation of the aviation marked has increased the number of company
operating in the industry sector, there are still many obstacles such as the introduction of new
legislations such as the EU ETS and others concern to the noise levels of aircrafts operating
on airports close to the centres. In conclusion, on the route between Pisa Galileo Galilei and
London Stansted airports, a new entrant will probably struggle to enter due to the strong
![Page 9: Passarello (2014) essay on the business environment of the aviation industry](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f121de1a28abee208b4585/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

establishment of the low-costs airline Ryanair, which operates several flights per day on the
same route and the presence of both Easyjet and British Airways, which operate flights from
Pisa International Airport to the more central London Gatwick Airport. Finally, if a new
entrant wants to enter the market using this route, it should focus on differentiating itself with
seasonal services due to the higher level of passengers in the summer months.
