demanded are very high.

• Difficult to differentiate product & services
• Brand image and loyalty is important
• New airlines must be seen as safe and reliable
• Large airlines are very aggressive
• Premature domestic market
13. Competitive rivalry -
High
• Competitors like Kingfisher, Indian Airlines, Indigo
• In times of low or moderate industry growth,
the competition gets fiercer as each one

• The merger between Sahara Airlines and Jet
Airways was a mistake on Jet Airways' part.
Sahara was acquired by Jet Airways for $500
million which was way above what the airline
was actually worth.
• Every company and organization rests on the
of its management board; there are no
opinions to this school of thought. Naresh
founder of Jet Airways, decided to become a
army for Jet Airways and did not hire a sound
management committee to assist him in
airline.
