Air Florida Flight 90

Structure Southwest Airlines was incorporated in 1967 and founded by Rollin King and Herb Kelleher. However, due to lawsuits, Southwest was unable to fly their first commercial flight until 1971. Southwest founded their business on the quote: "If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly yourairline5."

Failures Pre- 9/11 Before the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 in the United States, the CIA was very aware of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups who’s aim was to target the United States.

A few out of the thousands of heroes could be the Man In The Water, Galileo Galilei, and Jordan Rice. For example, the man in the water acted selfless when Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River. As a result of this behavior, he died but then saved 5 other people.

gap in the availability of low cost service in and out of the Anytown hub coupled with the demand for passenger travel on selected routes from Anytown indicates that a new entrant airline could be expected to capture a significant portion of current air travel business at that hub.

including Eastern and Pan Am. The shrinking number of larger carriers has improved the market share of the remaining major carriers, such that the largest carriers now have a somewhat greater market share than before deregulation. Commuter air ravel followed a similar pattern, with the number of service providers reaching 246 in 1981 and declining to 109 by the end of 1996. Despite this consolidation, RPMs increased almost sevenfold, from 2.1 billion to 14.2 billion. At the end of 1996, 35

Airline Industry History: The first ever scheduled airline was launched in St. Petersburg, Florida, a city not generally considered that can boast of an aviation. But on January 1, 1914, the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line was born there--the world 's first scheduled airline using winged aircraft.

With three new Boeing 737s bought at favorable prices because of overproduction, Southwest finally flew its first flights on June 18, 1971 on two legs of what would become a triangular route connecting the three metro areas.
