AC4.2 Analyse the impact of global factors on UK business organizations Typically, the airline industry has high regulatory policies which apply to all routes that the airline takes. These regulations have been put in place to promote security and safety of both the passengers and the communities in all the international destinations. As a result, British Airways and the other international flight companies have formed policies with governments in different countries to eliminate threats such as terrorism, war and natural disasters which can have a negative impact on the industry. The political climates are imperative to the safety of the passengers when they are using the British Airways flights to travel to their destinations. Therefore,
The airline industry is one of the largest global industries in the world. Airline companies in the airline industry have gone through challenging obstacles in the past decade. Many changes have occurred within the industry and increased regulations have driven up cost for the industry. The attacks on 9/11 left the industry in shock when planes were used in terrorist attacks in the United States. These attacks changed the mentality of the industry and shifted the focus towards safety. Safety was also a major concern in the industry with the breakout of SARS in 2003 and the H1N1 flu in 2009. The airlines had to ensure that public health and safety of the travelers were
In this report I am going to define the meaning of Globalisation and assess the impact of globalisation on the way the business operate.
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 shook the United States in a profound way, deeply upsetting the national perception of safety within U.S. borders. No industry or sector of the economy felt the impacts of these events more than the airline industry. Both the immediate reaction to the attacks and the long-term repercussions have negatively affected the industry. Today’s airline industry is much different than it was prior to September 11. There is a much smaller work force, more low-cost carriers, more security and more fees associated with flying.
Signed into law in 2002 by President George W. Bush, the Homeland Security Act established the Department of Homeland Security to prevent terrorist attacks, minimize any damage to the nation’s citizens, and reduce the country’s vulnerability to terrorism. In response to 9/11, the government, as well as the airline industry, has gone through many changes. As of result of 9/11, the airline industry lost a total of $7.7 billion. This paper reviews the reasons behind the making of the Homeland Security Act, the effects of 9/11 on the airline industry and the government, the purpose of the Homeland Security Act, and the aftermath of the Homeland Security Act.
To this day many are still shaken by the impact of the atrocity and crimes committed on September 11, 2001. In order to help enforce aviation laws and regulations and secure passengers, the Government has taken extra measures to ensure increased safety against such acts of terror. Areas of increased concern include ground security, airport and airplane security as well as passenger safety. New methods of prevention have been introduced such as: Advance Passenger Information; Secure Flight programs; Detection at Ports of
The September 2001 attack in the US that brought fear in this country and other parts of the world demands an increased effort to have a better security policy in the airports. Accordingly, one of the effect of the 9/11 terrorist attack was the government’s decision to come up with laws that are intended to provide better security for airline passengers. The success of the terrorists in planning and fulfilling the attack in September 2001 showed the weakness of the security system in the airports. The government has to respond with the passage of laws in order to deter further terrorism plans in the country. Further, there is also the implementation of guidelines about the screening of passengers and their baggages that may be inconvenient
These incidents show that the Transportation Security Administration is another bureaucratic agency that is incapable of providing proper airport security and has so far gotten lucky that another terrorist attack using airliners has not occurred. In this paper I will illustrate that the TSA is not the best vehicle to provide airport security and will offer some suggestions on how to improve security at airports.
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, revealed a deficiency in the procedures of the airline security system. In an effort to address these concerns the “War on
The attacks on 9/11 changed air travel for the foreseeable future, gone were the days you could park near the doors to the airport terminal and run to get to your flight. Now people fly with apprehension, wondering is there someone on this plane that want to kill me and what will I do if there is. The industry has made security a top priority as has the government to help alleviate those feeling. New government agencies were created, the most visible to the public being the TSA who handle security check points at airports, the FAA made changes to airport security to restrict access to the ramp areas to safeguard aircraft, in flight we now have many more Air Marshals to help combat threat once the plane leaves the ground. Aircraft now have reinforced
September 11, 2001, was a horrific event that rocked the world and the way people viewed the safety of airline travel. The airline industry was hit the hardest after that day and it was uncertain if they could regain their customer’s
While terrorism has affected airline travel for decades, the Al-Qaeda-perpetrated attacks of September 11, 2011, resulted in the most significant modifications to U.S. air travel policy. Prior to the 9/11 attacks, hijackings like the Dawson’s Field incident drove international changes to passenger security screening protocols (Clark, 2016). Even still, incidents like 1988’s downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, occurred before electronic baggage scanning became standard (Donavan, Delawala, and Santichen, 2009). Despite these tragic events, Al-Qaeda and its affiliates’ actions, both those successful and failed, drove the U.S.’s changes to law and policy for air travel.
Operations in international and/or foreign countries will create significant operational challenges. Differences in governing laws and regulations for the airlines industry, business, and employee relations will become challenging. Interpretation and intent for various laws can and will provide ambiguity that must be dealt with. Research shows that various international airlines continue to be plagued by high costs and poor service (Ramamurti & Sarathy, 2007).
On the other hand governments support aviation industry by building airports, roads and hotels near airports, because they recognize this industry as an important ingredient for economic well-being. In addition governments arrange security at the airports to ensure safe journey. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have had negative implications for the industry. Over the years, all the airlines have changed their routes, marketing tactics and prices; they are also making an effort to reduce the fear and negative image associated with air-planes. Governments have imposed strict security checks on air travel passengers in order to avoid any unforeseen terrorist activity.
The business sector plays a major role in our domestic airline safety policies. This particular
International aviation industry is a risky and highly competitive industry, which has to be obligated many strictly safety requirements as well as fluctuated by internal and external factories. New risk factors continue to occur in recent years, similar like to 9/11 accident, the international aviation industry has seen a wave of bankruptcies and the Asian financial crisis, SARS breaking, high oil prices, the global financial tsunami, volcanic eruption in Iceland, etc., constitute new challenges for the airline industry, they should re-examine the development strategies and policies.
