The topic in which I chose to do a scrapbook on was “How the government affects the airline industry in Canada”. Specifically I chose articles that related to the aftermaths of the September 11th tragedy. This event affected airlines in an enormous manner. Many airlines were facing economical problems and in turned asked the government for assistance. As a result, Canada 3000, which was Canada’s second largest airline carrier filed for bankruptcy protection on October 11th.
Sociocultural factors embody the various culture aspects in which a business functions. It is of great significance that a firm has the ability to appeal to the culture that they are working within as it reflects their customer knowledge, determining their performance (David & Fahey 2000, pg. 113). One central issue in regards to sociocultural factors playing an important role in a business’ marketing mix is firm’s ability to adapt marketing strategies in regards to demographics. The universal aging population is a clear indicator of marketing strategies for airlines companies to evolve so that it caters to the needs of the population as a whole. In addition, with Qantas operating as a global company and multiculturalism as a universal force, it is crucial to cultivate innovative marketing plans to accommodate the diverse preferences and needs of other cultures (Teo 1994). As cultures differ in their forms of attitudes and behaviours, consumers coming from these diverse cultures, backgrounds and countries are susceptible to dissimilar intensities of service anticipations (Donthu & Yoo 1998).

United Airlines aircraft have soared through the skies for more than 70 years. Initially used to transport U.S. mail, the planes soon took on a few adventurous passengers. In a matter of years, air travel was embraced by the general public, creating a demand for larger, faster, more luxurious aircraft.
At one point—when cars remained extremely popular—airplane was faster yet more expensive form of travel. Yet when the United States becomes an automobile-less society this would no longer be the case. No longer could one drive an hour down the road to visit family by impulse, it would require planning for tickets and other fees. However, since plane is one of the only traveling opportunities prices surely would decrease from their once inflated
to major airports but later it went down as PE try to grow faster and

My permanent residence is in Bettendorf, Iowa and the closest airport is in Moline, Illinois. Unfortunately flights dont leave the Quad City Airport for Guadalajara, my first stop, so Ive decided to take a limousine from Bettendorf to Chicago, which would roughly take two and a half hours. Although the limo ride would cost around two hundred dollars, it would be well worth it because I would not be paying OHare Airport to park there for a month. I checked out three websites to obtain airplane ticket information: Expedia.com, CheapTickets.com, and Orbitz.com. All were extremely useful except for Orbitz.com which wanted me to create an account. This discouraged me from spending anymore time at this site. Expedia.com and CheapTickets.com were very easy to use, but were crammed with different advertisements. Despite the clutter, the sites loaded fairly fast. All of the websites included times for departure, length of flight, cost, which airports used, and airlines used. I also found a variety of different flights taking me to the cities I wanted to visit: first class, coach, direct flights, round trip, one- way, etc. Overall, my search for a plane ticket was successful.
