Abstract
Since its inception as a means of mass transport in the 1940s, the worldwide civil aviation industry has always been under stringent government regulations. Due to the fragmentation of the industry, it suffered from operational inefficiencies, financial losses and poor customer services. This led to changes in business models of the industry from time to time/deregulations in domestic aviation in many countries followed by strategic international alliances between major airlines of different nations. In September 2003, a new business model emerged when KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) merged with Air France to mark the first merger of two national flagship carriers. A structured assignment ''304-012-4'' is available to accompany this case.
