Abstract

The aviation value chain consists of sub-industries, most importantly, aircraft manufacturers, leasing companies, airports, ground services, technical support, reservation systems, and airlines. Within this value chain there are pull and push effects at work. For example, technical push effects from aircraft manufactures or demand pull effects in form of customer requirements. Because of these interdependencies, but also due to the interrelations of the whole aviation value system with its different environmental spheres (like demand, economic environment, technical environment, and natural environment) the aviation sector ideally can be modelled with a system approach. The profitability of the different sub-industries varies and depends largely on entry barriers. Therefore, reservation system, airports and leasing companies are more profitable.
