Aviation Industy
  1. Airports
    1. Major
      1. A major airport is an airport in which many short haul and long haul flights operate from. A major airport is generally located in the city's/capitals, this is because where most tourists travel to. An example of a major is a London Heathrow. Mainly scheduled flights operate from major airports. And also there tends to be a wider range of international flights from major airports.
      2. Regional
        1. An example of a regional airport is Manchester Airport. A regional airport is a slightly smaller airport to a major airport. However it does operate a lot of flights but not as many long haul flights to a major airport. Its mostly charter and low-cost flights that operate from there however there is some scheduled.
        2. Local
          1. A local airport is significantly smaller than Major and Regional airports. An example of local airport is Blackpool airport and only operates a small range of flights which are mostly domestic flights.
        3. Airlines
          1. Scheduled
            1. An scheduled airline is an airline that runs on a set timetable they also run to pacific destinations at pacific time. These airlines have different classes within there aircrafts such as; first class, business class and economy class. These operate from mostly major airports such as Heathrow and some regional airports such as Manchester. They operate both long haul and short haul flights.
            2. Low-cost scheduled
              1. A low-cost scheduled airline fly's on a set timetable. Most low cost scheduled have a one class cabin and also they have a lot fewer facilities than scheduled airlines. They operate from mostly regional airports.
              2. Charter
                1. A charter airline is an airline that operates flights outside normal schedules. An example of a charter airline is Thomas cook. . Charter airlines operate on aircraft types like: A320s, A321s, A330s, B767, B757.These airlines are also a one class cabin like low-cost airlines however; some of these airlines do have inflight entertainment and inflight meals.
                2. Cargo
                  1. Cargo flights fly out of mainly major airports (e.g. London Heathrow) and also they fly out of regional airports (e.g. Manchester Airports). Most cargo airlines operate bigger types of aircraft for example: B747, A330, B767, B757 and B777. 7.
                3. Ancilliaries
                  1. Aircraft Manufactures .
                    1. Aircraft manufactures are companies that create and make different types of aircraft. Most aircraft manufactures design and the then make their own aircraft in which then sell them off to different airlines that are interested in buying them. Two of the most well know/most popular aircraft manufactures are Boeing and Airbus
                    2. Engine Manufactures
                      1. Engine manufactures are the companies that design and make the engines for aircraft and then sell them onto the aircraft manufactures which they fit them onto their aircraft. Examples of engine manufactures are Rolls Royce and Pratt and Whitney.
                      2. Airline engineering and maintenance companies
                        1. Airline engineering and maintenance companies are the companies that have their own hangers at the airports so that they can do checks, maintenance on the aircraft. BA is an example of an airline engineering and maintenance.
                        2. In-flight catering companies
                          1. In-flight caterers are the companies that provide and make the good that goes on to the aircraft/airlines. The airlines make a set menu for set times throughout the year and then the in-flight caterers are the ones that make it and then provide it to the airline. In-flight caterers are responsible for all the meals that go onto the flights so therefore, they need to check and make sure the food is properly cooked and stored properly to prevent any food poising during the flight.
                          2. Fuel suppliers
                            1. Fuel suppliers are the the companies that supply the file to the airlines. Well know fuel suppliers for aircraft are Shell and Esso. They both have practically the same roles which are they have to make sure that they have the right amount of file for the right aircraft. And also they have to make sure that there is enough fuel for the flight that the aircraft is going to travel. Also, they have to make sure that they have the right type of fuel for the aircraft.
                            2. Handling agents
                              1. Handling agents are the companies that provide the way in which the baggage is loaded and off-loaded on and off the aircraft safely and securely as possible. Also, handling agents also will hel0p with the boarding gate to check passports and boarding cards.
                              2. Cleaning companies
                                1. Cleaning companies are the companies e.g. Serco that make sure the aircraft is properly cleaned within the aircraft after and before each flight. Some of their jobs are to; Hoover the carpets of the aircraft, make sure seat pockets are clean, mop the kitchen area (galley), refreshing and making sure the toilets are clean. They have to clean the aircraft thoroughly to prevent any diseases breaking out which may cause a pandemic.
                                2. Retail operations
                                  1. There are many shops and restraunts within the airport such as Burger King and WHSmith. It's good to have food restraunts and shops within the terminal as passengers can be there for hours and therefore they'd need placed to eat and also by having shops it's also another way for the airport to make money and prevent passengers from becoming bored
                                  2. Onward travel
                                    1. Onward travel at an airport at an airport such as car rental, taxi services and also public transport. It's important as it gives people a variety of different services to choose from to get to their preferred onward destination/accommodation after arriving at the airport.
                                    2. Car parking operators
                                      1. There are different types of car park operators such as long stay, short stay, on site and off site. Having a long stay car park at an airport allows people to be able to leave their cars whilst they go on holiday with a less risk of burglary and also an easy transport home for when they arrive back off holiday.
                                      2. Tour operators, travel agents
                                        1. Tour operators such as Thomson, Thomas Cook, co-operative allow you to book package holidays or even just flights or hotels. Tour operators are good because often they have deals of package holidays which people tend to go for as sometimes it works out cheaper than doing it separately.
