Case 1: The Battle for Logan Airport: American Airlines vs. JetBlue 1. Who are the major competitors in this industry? Where do they compete (right before this case was written) in terms of their primary markets? Are their resources different from each other? Why or why not? What are their strengths and weaknesses? The major competitors in the industry have to be divided into three categories depending on the segment in the air carrier market. The first category is the major carriers such

Problem #3 In the case‚ we learned that adverse weather conditions are primary cause of delays at Logan Airport. When weather conditions deteriorate‚ or when winds from the northwest become moderately strong‚ Logan’s capacity drops from three runways (where one runway handles both arrivals and departures‚ one runway only departures‚ and one runway only arrivals) to two (where two runways handle both arrivals and departures.) Arrival capacity in the former case averages around 60 planes an hour

ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS FOR “THE DELAYS AT LOGAN AIRPORT” CASE QUESTION 1 (25 points) In the Delays at Logan Airport case‚ there are different proposals for reducing congestion. One of the methods proposed to tackle the impact of delays was peak-period pricing‚ PPP. In the case‚ good weather operational capacity (i.e.‚ both arrivals and departures) was around 120 planes per hour. Assuming that the number of arrivals approximately equals the number of departures‚ we obtain an average arrival
