The last part of industry analysis is about rivalry. In aviation industry, the rivalry is very drastic. This industry develops slowly or even stagnant and it is mature in recent period. There is no new company established in developed areas and also there is no major firm going broken. Most of survivals are big companies. All of them have abundant capital and ample operating experience and hold a relatively fixed percentage of market. In long run, the number of airline companies does not change.

Airlines use a formula of combining their yield and inventory costs to determine ticket prices.

One huge factor that encourages an increase in the cost of tickets relates to a customer ordering a ticket close to the departing date, define this as a risk factor because they need to make up for all unsold seats. A high percentage of the revenue is dedicated to overhead costs such as fuel and labor. When a ticket price is higher with one airline than the other, the customer interprets this as being an excessive cost. The demand is greatly affected by the external market
