In October 1978, the Airline Deregulation Act was signed to help remove regulation from the government. Once signed, the Civil Aeronautics Board’s (CAB) regulations no longer existed and the organization ended up closing in 1985. The key thing to note, is that a year following the enactment of the bill. New domestic cargo carriers were able to operate as long as they were seen as “fit, willing and able”. This is a change to the previous conditions, which were “required” by the public convenience and necessity (PC&N). This meant that there was more opportunity for new airlines. More opportunity for new airlines also meant, more competition. Major airlines or legacy carriers that benefited from the Civil Aeronautics Board’s regulations, were not used to competition. Previously the CAB would rarely accept new airlines or flights to be added. So this was a definite change to the industry once implemented. As a number of new airlines started to emerge. Many were also starting to go bankrupt. With a number of new airlines entering the market at such competitive prices. You began to notice more airlines try to compete, merge or start to go out of business. Not only that. A number of start up airlines had business plans that were out of their budget. This left them unable to utilize their supply of aircraft, without adequate demand. As regulations seized and more airlines started entering into the market. Legacy carriers were not as open to the new competition. As a result, they would employ strategies that would limit their ability to be efficient and grow. For instance, legacy carriers would attempt to drive low cost carrier’s (LCC’s) out of their hubs by cutting costs and employing other methods. In addition, due to the abundance of new airline approvals. It ended up putting a strain on the FAA. Incidents such as Flight 592 & Flight 261 were quite detrimental to operations and prompted the inclusion of an FAA 90 Day Safety Review, that focussed mostly on startups. In conclusion, the airline deregulation act was a great way to remove restrictions, open up the market and allow for more growth within the airline industry. To many, especially low cost carriers. It was an excellent opportunity for entering into the market to test their ideas and the ongoing competition. However for others, the competition was mostly just a distraction and only interfered with their ability to maintain dominance along with high ticket and travel fares.

You will come to the realization that there are many components that need your attention and oversight. Out of the many components that require attention, there is one thing that you are going to have to keep in mind about the scope and overall process. Not only is it difficult to co-ordinate all of the pieces that are needed to gain approval and get started. However, it will be even more difficult to stay consistent, grow and turn a profit. No matter what time of year or state of the world and its economy. Starting an airline is going to be a considerable investment of time, money and require a large amount of capital. Just like any other startup, you’re going to need a business plan. However unlike most startups, airlines do tend to have more moving parts and obstacles to add to the equation. Having a thorough business plan that tackles important aspects such as:
Will only assist with maneuvering through those challenges by solidifying the right contacts, certifications and approvals for helping get your airline business into service in a reasonable amount of time. Some requirements may even be needed before properly drafting up your business plan. While some areas of certification will require proof of funds or capital. However, having these markers in place will only make going through the entire process a little bit smoother. If despite these factors, you’re still determined to learn more about how start an airline. Then the following information will be beneficial in commencing your journey and having a chance at success along the way. With the current state the world is in right now. Starting an airline may or may not be as challenging, considering the recent changes to the travel industry and added health / safety protocols. It should be noted that this is a very complex area of discussion. It’s an industry that goes through many changes and can be adjusted or updated almost yearly or more. The country you live in can also change how this process works, so please use this as a general guide as opposed to a rule book. What to Know About How to Start an Airline CompanyAlthough it is considered a worthy component. A business plan is only one important aspect of what you will need to prepare in order to begin the process of starting an airline. Below is a brief overview of the other important components that you will require, in order to gain approval and successfully launch your airline business. 1.) Airline Market Analysis & Industry Overview
Part of analyzing the market, is understanding what niche or consumer need that your company can fulfill. When entering into such a competitive space. You’re going to want to have your ducks in a row. Competition is going to be very fierce and unless you bring something fresh or unique to the table. You are going to have a hard time surviving against other carriers of the same size or larger.
Just because you are able to offer a discounted ticket price as a special feature. Doesn’t mean that another carrier with a larger audience and more capital, can’t do the same at a much better price with additional perks.
A few questions you may want to consider asking yourself or your team are:
Another thing you may want to consider when analyzing the market is the frequency of flights at the airport you wish to operate from. If you’re a well-known or full service carrier, traveling in and out of high traffic airports may not be a problem. If you are new however, that may be an issue. It might be more effective to operate out of an airport or hub that is not as busy. Not only does this give you more opportunity to handle your operations with care and at an optimal level. It also allows you that extra interaction with your customers, which in turn helps them to get to know you better as a new carrier. They say, an aircraft on the ground is an aircraft at a loss. Which for many startup airlines seems to be a challenge, if not thought about beforehand (or discussed in their plan). Keep in mind that no matter how many hours your aircraft is in the air. There are still many fixed costs that need to be taken care of each month. Natural disasters and world economic crisis are other challenges that have made it difficult for airlines to stay afloat. Events like 9/11 have not only increased restrictions on travel, but have also imposed new security guidelines, safety protocols and operating costs. For more on the commercial aviation market. You can visit the links below from IATA & Boeing. These sources help detail the type of information you will want to look at before starting your business plan. Some of the information that you can find includes analysis of:
IATA Market Analysis Reports | Boeing Market Analysis For a broader view of what is projected to change in the coming years within the industry. See this article on the 7 trends that will reshape the airline industry by the Boston Consulting Group. 2.) Understanding Your Operating EnvironmentOnce you’ve had a chance to look at the market and start forming ideas as to your approach and where you might fit in. You will want to start looking into your operating environment. This includes the different standards, government & federal regulations, rights or certificates etc. that you will require in order to legally open your doors and get your aircraft into the air. Some of these certificates and regulatory requirements include:
Some other areas to consider when looking into your operating environment include; maintenance, repair, employees, training, fuel and more. International Traffic RightsThe Freedoms of the Air was formulated in 1944 and is an international civil aviation agreement which consists of nine freedoms. This allows permission for a particular airline to enter into a country’s airspace. ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards) is another program and set of standards where you will need to gain approval. ETOPS, is essentially a certification that allows Twin-engine aircraft to travel on particular flight routes that may be further than 60 min from the closet airport / hub that can accommodate an extended diversion or emergency landing. These are just a few examples of the rights and regulations that you will need to have in order to advance your business plan and achieve the goals you have set forth in reaching. The information above should give you an idea of the regulatory standards within the environment you are looking to get involved in. Pair that with tax laws, labor laws, regularly changing safety standards etc. And it may start to sound quite overwhelming. However, once you gain an understanding of your operating environment. The requirements needed for that environment and how to navigate seamlessly with your team. You will then be in a position to start taking more action on the steps in your business plan, to begin operating your airline as envisioned. 3.) Aircraft Sourcing & Selection
Once you have come to an understanding of your business’ focus and the opportunities you would like to take advantage of. Have thoroughly analyzed your market and competition. Finished planning and scheduling your route, analyzed traffic estimates etc. It should be somewhat clear as to the size and number of aircraft you wish to operate within your airline. If you plan to serve a small capacity of passengers or travel over a short-range. You may want to look into a light jet, medium jet or a turboprop. However, if you’re looking to serve a large capacity of passengers or travel or a long-range. You might be better off looking into an Airbus or Boeing instead. When you have figured out how many aircraft and the type you wish to contain in your fleet (new or used). At this point, you are going to need a broker or a supplier to help research and source these aircraft for you to lease or purchase outright. Aircraft ManagementAircraft management is essentially the control and oversight of all services that are required to operate your aircraft. In many cases you’re going to have to hire more than one full-time pilot along with maintenance staff. It is also beneficial that your pilots and maintenance are already trained to operate and service similar aircraft that you will be purchasing. In addition to the above, you’re going to have to look into hiring; flight crew, avionics technicians, airline administrative support, sales management, flight dispatch, ground airport station attendants, airline ticket agents, passenger service agent, aviation attorney and more. Besides having to decide between a large or a small management company. Determining what style of management you are looking for, is also important. For example, aircraft management can be handled from two different approaches. Charter or turnkey. With charter aircraft management. The management company will provide chartering services, while the operator is able to maintain aircraft operations. Essentially working closely together. On the other hand, turnkey aircraft management allows the management company full control of the aircraft available. This means that they take full control of the operational and management responsibilities. When locating a good aircraft management company. Try not to settle for any offer, but rather look for a company that has your best interest in mind and is willing to stick with you for the long haul. *Finding a team that understands your vision and supports your company direction is even better.

Don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. 4.) Commencing Operations of Your AirlineStarting your airline, maintaining your airline and continuing your momentum as you progress through each year. Is quite challenging and a large reason why many startups do not succeed or turn much of a profit. Once you open your doors, there is a good chance that you will cut deeply into your initial investment and capital quite quickly in the first few months. Despite what you may have forecasted in your business plan. There is a large possibility that you will need to spend more than anticipated to reach the targets that you initially set forth. It will also be challenging to maintain a flight schedule with a full capacity of passengers on a consistent basis. Marketing, promotion and any other legitimate means that you can think of to spread the word about your business, will be essential to the growth of your airline. If and when you’re able to build a consistent customer base. You should then be able to start seeing some return on your investment. As an airline, this should be your main focus regardless of what type of airline you choose to operate. As mentioned previously, an aircraft on the ground is an aircraft at a loss. However there are ways that you can make a profit whilst your aircraft is on the ground. Some of these methods include cargo / freight. Although keep in mind that if you choose to move cargo, there is a higher chance it will cause more wear and tear on your aircraft as opposed to passenger transport.
