    Aviation fuel accounts for 20 to 30 percent of industry operating costs, relatively more for airlines with low labor costs. Fuel costs can change rapidly, making it difficult for airlines to adjust ticket prices. Some airlines use futures contracts...

              Competitive Landscape Brief

              Demand is driven by business and leisure travel, which depends on the economy. The profitability of individual companies depends on marketing. Large companies have an advantage in being able to provide a wider range of services, especially to corporate customers, and to afford sophisticated websites. Small companies can compete effectively by providing service to a few large customers or by serving a local market. Two major factors have shaped the industry in recent years: sophisticated pricing schemes developed by the airlines to maximize profitability, and the emergence of the Internet as a widely available information and booking tool.
