Introduction
FlyFalcon Airline is a new startup, planning its first steps towards the air transport
industry. We are a new low-cost carrier, based in the United Arab Emirates, offering short haul
flights within the Middle East region. Initiating its home base in Al Maktoum International Airport,
the airline confidently strives to offer the foremost feasible service and experience to its
passengers, through a variety of selections of ancillary products, cheap flight ticket prices, and
overall comfort in flying with us. We will be offering international flights within the GCC nations,
where passenger demand is high. Initiating operations by January of 2023.
This report is a formulated five-year plan, in consideration to the major departments, that
are product/pricing, marketing, human resources, and finance. The plan is implemented to
ensure all departments are well-developed, supervised, and managed in a suitable manner, in a
way that we can generate revenue effectively. Hence, the ground of the plan is to convey the
viability through numerous justifications, primary and secondary research, and statistical data
collections.
FlyFalcon
The name of our airline is FlyFalcon, conveying UAE’s culture and heritage by the usage
of a potent symbol of nations strength. Moreover, the country’s national emblem is a falcon with
the flag painted on its chest, and the name of the country printed underneath it. Additionally,
the falcon is exhibited in the hand signal of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, ruler of Dubai, as a
symbol of victory. Furthermore, the national birds are commonly flown first class due to the
medical grade committed to their health and well-being. Therefore, our intention of using the
falcon in our airlines name is to assure our passengers that they will be taken care of and provided
with comfort when flying with us. The falcons represent our passengers.
Business Model
As a new business venture with a limited capital of AED 20 million, we had to be strategic
with our plan and the whole management of a startup entering a competitive market. Therefore,
we have selected to follow the low-cost carrier business model to ensure we operate our business
with minimal cost, and to maximize the load factor to amplify profit. We predict that the available
seat miles would remain constant, as we offer point-to-point routes for our passengers. Resulting
in granting us constant demand across the year, regardless of peak seasons.
5
Flight Destinations
Within the five years, we have selected to fly two destinations. As a startup, we decided
to commence operations by offering flights to Medina, Saudi Arabia and Doha, Qatar. Within the
first two years of being an active airline, the flights will be rather limited due to lack of media
exposure and the lack of prominent presence in the market. However, in the following years
(years three, four and five), the flights are expected to double or even triple. Both destinations
are deemed as profitable through the conduct of primary and secondary research. Thus, we will
be offering daily flights for our passengers to the two destinations as illustrated in the five years
plan.
Operating aircrafts
The aircrafts we will be operating are the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 and the ATR 72 600.
The aircrafts have a maximum capacity of 78 seats for Bombardier and 70 seats for ATR aircrafts.
In year one, only the Bombardier will be operated to fly passengers to their desired destinations.
In year three, the second aircraft will be introduced due to the increase of flights per destination
from four to ten daily flights.
Mission statement
FlyFalcon’s mission is to support the notion of ‘the sky is for everyone’, as they discover
the mesmerizing parts of the world and experience its serenity. Our mission statement mirrors

Ancillary products
As part of ancillary products, we have concluded the common choices of in-flight catering, full
travel insurance and excess baggage allowance to propose to our welcomed passengers. This
should permit Fly Falcon, a low-cost carrier, to attract revenue by pleasing our passengers needs
on their short-haul flights within the Middle Eastern region. Briefly, ancillary revenue is the
income generated from products or services that are not a part of ticket price, of which provide
comfort to passengers.
The surveys conducted for each ancillary product was completed by 80 people per survey. The
data gathered from the surveys is used to determine the estimated demand percentage for each
of the items offered as part of inflight catering, insurance and excess baggage allowance for each
route.
Year One:
In-flight catering:
Sourcing – Fly Falcon has concluded to partner with Dnata in-flight catering, for a yearly
agreement. The contract showcases the meal options, its quantity and unit prices. Although,
based on the clear agreement, information on supplier negotiations, storage, distribution, and
logistics will all be managed by Dnata themselves. Moreover, the company is currently one of the
largest service providers across five continents, hence it’s convincing reasoning for settling with
it as our catering provider.
9
The demand analysis of sales forecast revenue is the percentages of demand that was
assembled through primary research, by the implementation of numerous surveys, conducted
by our marketing team. Additionally, secondary research was performed for determining selling
price trends of other low-cost carriers, flying similar short-haul routes. These figures ultimately
showcase the estimated demand and revenue for each item, consisting of food and drinks menu.
The basis of the survey fulfilled, showcased that our potential passengers, would like to
be offered snacks and sandwiches as part of food options for on board catering. The results are
snacks calculated at 70% and the sandwiches at 80% of the total responses received. On the other
hand, for drinks the options that had the highest percentages were water and fresh juices, with
water at 77.50% and fresh juices at 72.50%.
Cost of items – According to our annual agreement with Dnata Catering, the data compiled into
the table below convey the quantity, unit prices and total cost of all items included within the
flight catering, for two years period:
10
Snacks 4,000 AED 3.00 AED 12,000
(The flight may differ in order for specific days of the week, however, the routes remain the
same. For year one and two, there are four daily flights, twenty eight flights weekly in totality.)
The survey conducted was completed by 80 people. The data gathered is used to determine
estimated demand for each of the items offered as part of inflight catering, insurance and excess
baggage allowance for each route.

Totals of revenue generated AED 1,042 AED 31,260 AED 375,120
Total year one revenue for in-flight catering for all flights/all routes = AED 1,423,080
15
An additional product of ancillary that Fly Falcon will offer to its passengers is excess
baggage allowance, that is in regarding if baggage is overweight or the need of entering two
baggage’s as part of check-in. When flying with us, our passengers will be offered this ancillary
product if baggage exceeds stated limit.
As part of load package, for the Bombardier dash 8 Q400 aircraft, it is only permissible to
load 1.5 baggage’s per passenger. As the overhead compartment can easily fit in two 22 inches
sized suitcases, of which equates to 51 bags as a standard. Similarly, the ATR 72 600 aircraft, can
fit two carry on baggages per passenger.
The following information portrays the number of baggages, weight and the rate of cost:
1. Carry-on baggage for overhead compartment for both aircrafts:
Number of cabin baggage = one hand baggage and one personal item (laptop or purse or
handbag)
Maximum weight = 7 kg
Maximum size of cabin baggage = 55cm x 35cm x 20cm maximum (must include wheels and
handle)
Excess baggage rate = additional baggage will be chargeable at a rate of AED 12 per kg
For the personal item, it will be placed under the seat in front of them.
Sales forecast revenues for excess baggage allowance for year one:

Route One: DWC to DOH.
Items Demand Price per Daily revenue Monthly Annual
additional kg revenue revenue
Excess 50% x 78 AED 12 per kg AED 468 AED 14,040 AED 168,480

Insurance
Allianz travel Is a financial protection company selected for travel insurance for Fly Falcon.
The insurance package encloses charges of flight delay coverage, trip interruption or cancellation
coverage, lost baggage coverage and travel assistance, that ensures reimbursement of prepaid,
non-refundable expenses for our passengers. This ancillary product is to be offered to all
passengers.
We have partnered with Allianz Travel Insurance to offer full insurance package to our
passengers, that is optional. The comprehensive single trip package represents the following:
Benefits Coverage
Alongside, availability of a 24-hour hotline for assistance and a pre-existing medical conditions
coverage. The price of the insurance package is AED 73 per passenger for a single MENA trip. The
selling price of the insurance is calculated to align with other low-cost carriers selling price of
single trip insurance.
Depending on the revenue generated, the insurance company will receive 20% of revenue
incurred based on our yearly agreement. That is based on the purchase of insurance packagers
by our passengers.
18
Sales forecast revenue of insurance for year one:
19
Revenue received by FlyFalcon = AED 904,032
Total yearly revenue for insurance for all flights= AED 2,985,408
Year Two
For year two, we decided to sustain the ancillary products by continuing with previous
items offered, however, we estimate a 5% projected increase in demand rate. The estimation is
based on the increase of brand awareness, supported by the marketing department, since our
airline will become more known by our target audience due to the overload of advertisements.
Moreover, the stable reputation of our secured flights will also be developed as we commence
operations in year one of operations. Since we are a startup, we need to build a healthy
relationship with our passengers to guarantee that they will choose our airline for their next
flight. As well as building a secured reputation within the market.
Additionally, another reasoning for the estimated projected increase is due to the growth
of demand during peak season. As part of our tactical plannings, we have selected two well-
known and well-loved destinations for our passengers to enjoy traveling to, of which increase
highly in demand during specific months of the year. Whether that is by religious reasoning, or
the attraction built by global events.
All the ancillary products offered in year two are the same as what was offered in year
one. Also, the quantities of items remain the same. Alterations to the products was not made
due to the strategical planning implemented to ensure revenue is being generated within the
first two years of operations.
20
The same annual agreement with Dnata Catering will be continued for year two. Thus,
the cost of items for in-flight catering from Dnata = AED 525,500.
Total year two revenue for in-flight catering for all flights= AED 1,494,234
Total year two revenue for excess baggage allowance for all flights= AED 893,632

Total revenue generated for single trip insurance package from all flights =AED 3,918,348
20% given to Allianz Travel = AED 783,669
Revenue received by FlyFalcon = AED 3,134,679
Year Three
For year three, there are ten daily flights. As we commence year three of operations, we
will be upgrading our ancillary products to balance the rise of demand of flying passengers. The
following tables illustrate in detail about the cost of products, their selling price, sales forecast
revenue and the overall products offered.
Inflight Catering:
In-flight catering consist of the previous items being water, fresh juices, snacks, and
sandwich’s, alongside an addition of cup instant noodles to the list. The cup noodles were
selected based on the survey responses conducted. However, since we are introducing this item
to our reoccurring and new passengers, we will introduce the item in smaller quantities in
comparison to other items, to test the items demand for the following flight routes.
22
The demand is calculated differently for each item, as the items that were offered in year
one and two, the demand was estimated by 5% projection increase. As for the new items, being
the caffeinated drinks and cup noodles, the demand was produced through the conduction of a
survey.
Flight Route One: DWC to DOH. (Flight route is repeated twice daily)
Revenue generated from the new two food items for one flight per route = AED 196,560
Revenue generated for two flights per route = AED 393,120
Flight Route Two: DOH to DWC. (Flight route is repeated twice daily)
Revenue generated from the new two food items for one flight per route = AED 115,920
Revenue generated for two flights per route = AED 231,840
Flight Route Three: DWC to MED. (Flight route is repeated three times daily)

Flight Route Four: MED to DWC. (Flight route is repeated three times daily)
Instant Cup 60% x 78 pax AED 9 AED 423 AED 12,690 AED 152,280

Totals of revenue generated AED 578 AED 17,340 AED 208,080
Revenue generated from the new two food items for one flight per route = AED 208,080
Revenue generated for three flights per route = AED 624,240
24
Total year one revenue for in-flight catering of two new food items for all flights= AED 1,804,320
Previous food items alongside a 5% projected increase in demand:

Total revenue AED 1,494,234 AED 74,710 AED 1,568,944
The table above showcases the revenue generated from the food items, as part of in flight
catering, for one flight for each route. In year three, the amount of flights per route is increased
from 4 daily flights to 10 daily flights, therefore, the amount of revenue generated per route
differs and should showcase an immense growth, that is in comparison to previous years
revenue.
Year one and two – daily flights = 4 flights – weekly flights = 28 flights – monthly flights = 120
flights.
Year three, four, five – daily flights = 10 flights – weekly flights = 70 flights – monthly flights = 300
flights.
Since the flight numbers have increased on year three, the 5% projected increase of
revenue has to be multiplied by the number of operated flights to determine each routes
generated revenue, only from the items contained in year one and two inflight catering menu.
The table below portrays the calculations determined based on how many flights will be operated
for each route:

Total year three revenue generated for previous food items in addition to increased flights= AED

All revenues generated for all years, per ancillary product:
In-flight catering – The strategic addition of more flights per route, and the incorporation of two
food items to the in-flight catering menu, attracted a higher revenue generated of which is
immensely evident in year three. The growth of revenue is estimated at 382% between year two
and three. Since the motive of ancillary product for the airline is to generate revenue, we predict
that we will flourish in year three of operations. Although, in years three, four and five, the rise
of revenue will be steady at around an increase of AED 200,00 per year due to stability in menu
offering and the number of monthly flights.
Excess baggage allowance – Unlike the other ancillary products, the revenue from excess baggage
allowance illustrates the slowest growth of approximately AED 40,000 per year for the first two
years. However, in year three there is a big rise in revenue, although it increases steadily in the
following two years.
Insurance – Similarly to inflight catering and excess baggage allowance, the increase in
purchasing single trip insurance for the short haul flights will convey a vast growth in year three
due to increase of daily flights per route. As shown in the table above, the highest revenue is
generated from the offering of insurance packages to passengers, henceforth, this ancillary
product is heavily profitable. Although the annual agreement states that 20% of the revenue
generated is shared with the insurance company, Allianz travel, we are still highly profiting from
the ancillary product based on the sales forecast revenue. As in comparison to the other ancillary,
it would generate the highest revenue despite the shared annual agreement.
33
Overall, year three will be our airlines most profitable year due to the immense growth in
generated revenue, in relations to ancillary product, especially insurance. Within the five years,
we predict that we will reach an estimated profit of AED 18 million from the revenue generated
from ancillary products.
First Check-In Baggage:
How likely will the passengers do check-in baggage per flight route? The revenue
generated from the purchases of first check-in baggage is based on demand percentages from
survey conducted by the marketing team. Based on the survey, implemented to determine the
demand rate, the stipulation was estimated at an average of 36.5% for all flight routes. The table
below conveys the data in further detail:

YEAR 1 and YEAR 2 (2023/2024)
PART 1: Choice of aircraft
There are many aircraft brands and type that could be selected to operate to our
selected destinations, Madinah (MED) and Doha (DIA), in our first year. After thorough research
on various of aircrafts and its prices and looking for aircrafts that fit the requirements for
FLYFALCON it came down to two aircrafts to choose from, the ATR-72-600 and the bombardier
Dash 8 Q400.
FLYFALCON is looking for an aircraft that can accommodate the distance and time travel
to Madinah and Doha while keeping costs, such as fuel, repairs, and lease rate, down to a
minimal due to the constricted budget for the airline. Although FLYFALCON wants keep costs
low, we also heavily care about the overall quality of the planes and the overall satisfaction of
the passenger when on the plane. So, we insure to select and aircraft that’s comfortable and
safe for the passengers.
ATR-72 600
The ATR-72 600 is the newest aircraft from
the 72 family. The French made aircraft is a
twin engine turbo propeller plane
specifically made for short haul flights. The
all-improved ATR 72-600 is equipped with
the best technology the aviation industry
can offer. One of the most important
technology aspects of it is that it’s equipped
with one of the latest generations of
Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA),
developed by Thales Aerospace group, and
the same one as the one used in the Airbus
A380. IMA system has the capability to operate different applications at once, capture, and
share data. Compared to previous ATR aircrafts, the system requires less equipment to operate,
which ultimately reduces maintenance costs for the system while also improving the efficiency
of commutations between the systems. IMA system in the ATR-72 600 allows it to become
much lighter that its previous ATR planes since less equipment is needed which results in
reduction. The aircraft is also equipped with an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), which are devices
that replaced regular paper checklists. The EFB is constantly up to date with all the data and
information needed for the plane and route that will be flown.
39
Away from the cockpit and into the main cabin,
the ATR-72 600 standard configurations can
accommodate up to 70 passengers. Compared to
some other turboprop planes, the 72 a wider cabin
which offers more room for comfort for passengers.
The aircraft is also equipped with new seats compared
to previous 72’s to provide more comfort for seated
passengers. Furthermore, the 72-600 overhead bins
have been reshaped and widened to increase storage
room compared to the 500.
In terms of fuel efficiency, due to its light weight and engines that are made for short
flights, it is one of the most fuel-efficient where the aircraft burns 762kg/hr in cruising altitude
which is a lower burn rate than other propeller plane competitors.

of the most comfortable and quietest planes due to the noise and vibration suppression (NVS)
technology developed by Ultra Electronics. This system is far away from the traditional use of
insulation to reduce sound. The aircraft is equipped a computer that collects data on propeller
speed receives as well as noise signals using hidden microphones that have been placed
throughout the cabin. The system then sends signals to vibration absorbers located on the
cabin’s frames, then, these absorbers will create vibrations to reduce the sounds produced by
the aircrafts engines.
The dash Q400 has much better performance stats compared to its closest competitor
the ATR-72. The Q400 is equipped with two P&WC PW150A which generate 5,700 HP each and
is strong enough to let the aircraft comfortably cruise at 340 KIAS (630 Km/Hr), which is 100
KIAS faster than the ATR-72. The Q400 can also climb altitude faster that other propeller
aircrafts. Within just 16 min, the Q400 would reach its cruising altitude of 25,000Ft.
additionally, flying at that altitude allows the aircraft to avoid some bad weather that can be on
the way.
The aircraft can carry a maximum of 5,242 Kg of fuel, and with its high performance, the
aircraft has a maximum range to fly up to 2500 km or 3.5 hours. However, the aircraft is not as
fuel efficient as the ATR-72 since the Q400 burns on cruising speed 900Kg/Hr.

other obligations they have on their business trip. The return from Qatar is a convenient flight
for people who came the day or few days before and want to be back early in Dubai to continue
with their jobs. In terms of the flight to Prince Mohammed International Airport, the afternoon
flight at 1 PM IS very convenient for passengers who are travelling for religious purposes. They
will arrive mid-day and pursue their religious practices as well as attend Maghrib prayer on time
at the holy mosque. An early evening flight back from Madinah is a very convenient option for
passengers who stayed up till sunrise performing their religious practices and need time to
sleep and rest before heading back to Dubai.
For Friday and Saturday, the time frames of the flights have been switched around.
During those days business activities to Doha are less compared to the other days whilst
religious purposes travel to Madinah increases. On Friday passengers flying to Madinah are
given a morning flight to arrive on time for the holy Friday Duhr prayer at Al Madinah Al
Munawara holy mosque. Later in the day, passengers travelling from and to Doha for leisure
purposes will have a convenient evening flight to fly back to Dubai. Same reasoning for
Saturday flights, since demand for business travel to Qatar is low and mainly for leisure reasons,
flights to their and back are in the evenings whilst to Madinah will stay in the morning for the
religious travelers.
PART 3: fuel
FlyFalcon will pursue the approach of fuel hedging for the next 5 years regarding
purchasing fuel. Fuel hedging is a method for an airline to have contracts for future fuel
purchases whilst maintaining to pay the current prices of fuel when the agreement has
45
occurred. This will allow FlyFalcon to avoid the expected raise in fuel prices and continue to pay
less for fuel compared to prices in the future.

LCC competitor, FlyDubai, offers flights to medina starting from 750 AED for the basic economy.
With the lower operating costs for FlyFalcon compared to FlyDubai, FlyFalcon can offer a lower
price of 650 AED for the basic economy ticket to attract demand for FlyFalcon.

The ATR 72 600 will be the new aircraft that will be added to our fleet. As mentioned
earlier, this aircraft is one of the best aircrafts in its propeller plane market. With its state-of-
the-art technology, developed by Thales group, or the wide dimensions for the aircraft to
increase comfort, the aircraft would a great addition to our fleet. with its shorter range
compared to the Dash 8, this aircraft will be used for flights to and from Hamad International
airport in Qatar. the Aircraft is much more fuel efficient compared to the Dash 8, which made a
better option and much more cost efficient to bring a new ATR 72 alongside our Dash 8 for our
flights to Doha rather than a second Dash 8. The aircraft will cost FlyFalcon a total 2,644,488
AED per year for the wet lease contract ($60,000 per month).
Livery for the ATR 72 600
FlyFalcon will continue to wet lease the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, as well as wet lease
the new ATR 72 600 from the company. Both aircrafts are priced at 220,374 AED per month.
Total lease price for both aircrafts per year: 5,288,976 AED

MARKETING
YEAR 1
Market research
Market research is a process for directly interviewing prospective
consumers to determine the feasibility of a new product or service. A company may use market
research to pinpoint its target market and learn more about its consumers' interest in a service
or product by asking for their opinions and other information. Focus groups, consumer
observation, surveys, and interviews are the four categories under which market research may
be classified. My approach of market research was a survey, where we spoke about the
questions and utilized monkeysurvey to generate the survey. We performed a poll to ascertain
what the market's needs are, and the results will help us decide if it is worthwhile to launch
64
FlyFalcon airlines through this path or whether we should reevaluate our route selection. So,
these were the responses we got after performing the market research study.
65
66
According to most respondents, people preferred going to Doha for leisure and Madinah for
religious purpose.

The poll results assisted in determining what potential consumers
could anticipate if the service is made available in the market. Additionally, it helped in
determining the market's requirements, desires, and demands; Most significantly, survey
findings revealed that customers eager to travel for a variety of reasons. As a consequence, we
have a better awareness of what our clients anticipate from us.
71
In marketing, a target market refers to a specific group of people who are assumed to have a
high propensity to buy a product because they share demographic characteristics such as age,
income, and lifestyle.
Finding the right customers is an essential part of every business's strategy for developing,
packaging, and promoting a product. The target markets for FlyFalcon Airlines are depicted in
the diagram below.

Market
• We’re off again –Consumers who often take vacations and travel regularly
• Business travelers make up a sizable percentage of frequent passengers.
• Budget-conscious travelers search for the cheapest airline without having much
knowledge about the various airline offerings.
• Loyal Travelers – These individuals travel frequently, and since they always fly with the
same airline, the latter rewards them with perks and points.
• Urgent Travelers – They are a niche market category and do not fly regularly. Only
unforeseen circumstances force them to fly.
SWOT Analysis
• Strengths
o FlyFalcon Airlines will provide tickets at an affordable price so that more travelers will
choose to fly with us. As a result, the company will generate a high volume of revenue,
which will increase profitability.
o Since it is a new company, it guarantees safety and speed by using modern aircraft.
73
o A creative, multi-functional, and energetic workforce.
o Staff satisfaction and financial security are key priorities for the organization, which helps
to ensure employee loyalty and also help to bind employee loyalty through incentives,
rewards, and programs for their achievements. Additionally, we will bind devoted
consumers by giving them with benefits and points in addition to our top-notch
customer service, which will help us win their loyalty. Flyfalcon will therefore ensure
both customer and employee loyalty.
• Weaknesses
o As the firm is just getting started, it may be tough to monitor all expenditures since
setting up an airline would involve significant investments. Additionally, managing
these costs on a monthly basis may be a challenging and expensive procedure.
o Since we are a budget airline, we make every effort to keep expenses down. As a result,
we only offer a few free amenities like food during flights. Our fleets also comprise of
small and narrow body aircrafts.
o There is no business or first class; we only provide economy class.
• Opportunities
• Threats
74
o There are several competitors in the market, and FlyFalcon will encounter many of
them. in addition to the growing demand for low-cost carriers, which means there will
be more low-cost carriers operating in the aviation sector in the future, increasing
rivalry.
o Fuel price volatility is a significant concern to aviation, since it has a significant impact
on the viability and sustainability of the industry, particularly for price-sensitive low-
cost carriers.
o Weather is a variable that may change at any time, and variations in the weather like
snowstorms, severe winds, hurricanes, and tornadoes have a detrimental impact on the
aviation sector. Some passengers end up cancelling their flights due to delays, for which
the fares have to be refunded.
o A slump in the global economy may cause fewer people to travel.
PESTEL Analysis
• Political Factors
As a privately owned corporation, FlyFalcon Airlines solely receives support and financial
assistance from the UAE government. Additionally, since Qatar and Saudi Arabia have stable,
positive, and democratic ties with the UAE, moving people and goods won't be a problem, and
there will be air traffic.
• Economic factors
Since the aviation industry is affected by the introduction of FlyFalcon airways LCC before
other industries, it can result in a considerable economic benefit for a country or area. This is
because it has a positive influence on employment, GDP, trading, tourism, and productivity,
among other things. Additionally, the launch of Flyfalcon Airlines can also improve accessibility
to destinations, encourage repressed demand, and improve the allure of transportation for
those with lesser incomes.
• Social factors
As today's consumers have evolved, airlines, like other businesses, also contribute to
societal ideals. A corporation has to be aware about customer preferences, emerging trends,
and societal demographic shifts in order to operate in society.For the benefit of customers and
75
to maintain a positive reputation in society, our airlines will put a strong emphasis on
hospitality services and offer the best possible services at a reasonable cost.
• Technological factors
• Environmental factors
Environmental issues have the greatest influence on the aviation sector than on any other
business. Flyfalcon Airlines has been prompted to undertake significant strategy adjustments,
such as deploying aircraft that are more fuel-efficient and have lower emission rates, because
of increased public pressure to combat climate change.
• Legal factors
For the safety and security of passengers as well as air traffic, several rules have been
developed. Airlines must provide safe travel coupled with top-notch services under a number of
laws. All aviation-related laws and national laws are applicable to Flyfalcon airlines.As a low-
cost carrier with a base in the UAE, FlyfalconAirlines is subject to a number of legal
requirements and conditions of compliance in order to fly in the skies of Qatar and Saudi
Arabia, including licensing, GCCA rules, paying taxes to the government, and other legal issues.
76
Porter’s Five Forces Analysis
• Barriers to entry
When entering the airline industry, large capital investments are required, and even when
airlines must leave the market, they must write down and sustain significant losses. This implies
that FlyFalcon could have exit and entrance obstacles. Additionally, not everyone can possess
the necessary knowledge and skills. Given that the UAE has a rapidly expanding economy and
an environment that fosters the establishment of new firms, there are very few variables in the
case of Flyfalcon that may cause it to withdraw from the market. Another challenging aspect to
manage is government rules.
In Porter's five forces model for the aviation business, the influence of suppliers is a
significant force. Fuel, aircraft manufacturers, and labor are the three primary providers in the
airline sector. Because the oil price is set based on changes across the world, external factors
77
affect all of them. Two major providers of aircraft, namely Airbus and Boeing, constitute the
second factor. Consequently, these suppliers have considerable leverage in negotiations. Labor
is the third component; which always presents business with political and demand problems
due to union politics. Flyfalcon will need to choose its supply wisely during the first year in
order to minimize costs associated with switching suppliers.
• Bargaining power of buyers
In the avaition sector, there are many different types of buyers. While some prefer to go on
group excursions, other people select the avaition business for solo travel. Some individuals go
on vacation, while others go on business trips. The options that purchasers have when selecting
the aviation sector determines the bargaining power of these clients. Every business depends
on its customers, which is why it's imperative to build a strong clientele right away. It will be
simpler to draw in new clients with a solid, consistently expanding customer base as a basis.
Incentives will need to be created, various promotional techniques will need to be used, a
loyalty program will need to be put in place, and most importantly, our company will need to
deliver excellent services to all of its customers. Flyers are no longer forced to rely on agents,
middlemen, and the airlines themselves for all of their ticketing needs thanks to the advent of
online ticketing and distribution networks and due to the availability of several channels for
ticket purchases, consumers may engage in "price discovery," meaning that price changes do
not dissuade them from making purchases.
• Threat of substitute
For travelers looking to avoid flying, there are several options. Transportation options for
them include land, rail, and sea. Customers frequently switch brands at any time when they
have a wide range of alternatives, and this also occurs as a result of price fluctuations.
However, if time is of the essence, flying travel remains the best choice. Therefore, we may say
that this force is low to medium. In regional travel, when low distances make road and train
travel more affordable, this element has a greater influence. This aspect barely matters while
traveling internationally.
• Competitive rivalry
There are several reasons why there is fierce competition among various firms operating in
the aviation sector. There are a number of factors contributing to the fierce competition that
exists among various firms in the aviation sector. Due to the significant investments necessary
to enter the aviation industry, the market is mature, and the competitors stay in the sector for
a very long time.They compete on a variety of fronts, such as low prices, convenience, and
78
better services, making it challenging for any brand to maintain its competitive edge.
Additionally, because the exit price and fixed costs are so high, the competitors must compete
on all fronts in order to stay in the industry.As a result, the sector is experiencing increasing
competition, and all businesses must continue to expand in order to succeed.
Competitive Differentiation
Competitive differentiation is a positioning technique that a firm may
employ to distinguish its products and services from those of its competitors. It emphasizes
user preferences such as features, brand, price, and customer service. According to our market
analysis, there are several other low-cost airlines competing with Flyfalcon airways. To
withstand the competition in the aviation industry, Flyfalcon devises an inventive strategy for
competitive differentiation. There are four primary competitive differentiation strategies,
including market niche, cost leadership, best-cost, and differentiation strategy. Flyfalcon
airlines will implement a differentiation strategy, which requires a thorough understanding of
the demands and preferences of consumers. The firm must be compelled to innovate in order
to continuously meet these demands and requirements, and it must cultivate its brand in order
to retain its position and exposure. , and it must cultivate its brand in order to keep its position
and exposure. These characteristics will serve as a competitive differentiator for Flyfalcon
airlines.
• Direct competitor
o Fly Dubai
o Air Arabia Sharjah
o Air Arabia Abu Dhabi
o Wizz air
o Flynas
79
These firms are also Low-cost carriers that provide air travel at competitive pricing. Therefore,
they are Flyfalcon airlines' direct competitors in the aviation industry.
• Indirect competitors
o RTA buses
o Taxi
Although they do not provide air transportation, these businesses are considered
indirect rivals since they offer economical road transportation service to Doha and Madinah.
Consequently, Flyfalcon airlines will face competition from such firms.

o Service differentiation:
In addition to our primary transportation services, we will also offer ancillary services to
our consumers. gratis lunches and luggage allowance, we will differentiate ourselves from the
competition by providing passengers with worry-free travel while on vacation, and we will also
implement a frequent flyer program for our customers. When our clients get at their
destinations on time, they will be pleased with the services we provide. With no connecting
flights, point-to-point itineraries allow travellers to complete the journey as quickly as possible,
80
eliminating travel anxiety.Moreover, we want to build a relationship with environmentally
conscious passengers, so we are doing our best to provide superior service while minimizing
our impact on the environment. This is why we selected an aircraft that has fewer emissions,
does not harm the environment, consumes less fuel while having a large number of available
seats to accommodate our customers.
o Price
There won't be any discriminatory pricing on customers, and Flyfalcon Airlines will offer
costs that are commensurate with the caliber of our services and that fit all types of clients
(segments). Our goal is to provide our clients with the highest caliber service at a fair price.
Additionally, our airline will provide a number of customer-pleasing discounts and specials.
o Marketing:

To fulfill our customers' demands and desires, we will make sure to offer the greatest
customer service. We will provide a feedback section on each of our websites so that users may
express their ideas and feedback on the products and services we offer. This will enable us to
learn more and enhance our offerings if necessary. The departments in charge will make sure to
take the comments into account as we carry out our business.
Because of its well-known brand and loyal clientele, the business will be able to stand

positioned in the market according to the positioning map shown above.
Place
Dubai due to its strategic location at the intersection of multiple markets, is an excellent
spot for a firm to begin operations.
Distribution
To implement place and distribution strategy, we must make sure that FlyFalcon Airlines
services are easily and readily available to every potential consumer. Less marketing effort is
required to sell seats and tickets since LCCs offer lower pricing. This concentrates on the
strategies FlyFalcon will employ to guarantee that our product is easily available to all our
potential customers without running into any obstacles. The business will distribute its goods
using two different strategies.
o Direct Distribution
The ability for our clients to buy our services directly from us without the involvement of
a third party is ensured by this technique, which also aids in cost control. Our consumers will be
able to buy tickets and make seating reservations directly from us without encountering any
problems or difficulties thanks to the direct distribution method. Additionally, the techniques
we'll employ are as follows:
• Website
Through a dedicated company's website, customers will be able to plan and reserve
tickets whenever they want, day or night. To ensure the greatest possible reservation efficacy,

Brand Management
A marketing function known as brand management employs strategies to gradually
increase the perceived value of a product or brand. It aids in setting our business apart from
competitors. The brand image of a company's goods and services consists of much more than
simply a logo. FlyFalcon will be able to set itself apart from other businesses by establishing a
distinctive brand image, brand personality, and solid brand identification.
A strong brand identity will enable FlyFalcon to win the loyalty and trust of its customers.
Brand management will help the company become more well-known, helping the airline in
communicate its public image as an affordable, secure, and economical travel option that
combines freedom of movement, a high standard of care, and punctuality.
• Logo
87
Our company's brand name, "Flyfalcon," was inspired by the GCC countries that we will
provide services to. The primary business colors for Flyfalcon will be red and gray. Grey stands
for intellect, dignity, honor, neutrality, and balance while red stands for vigor, prosperity,
creativity, warmth, and security toward the work within the firm and toward the consumers.
Fly Falcon stands by using a compelling emblem of a nation's might to communicate the
culture and legacy of the United Arab Emirates. A falcon with the flag painted on its chest and
the name inscribed beneath it serves as the nation's national emblem. Additionally, the falcon
is displayed as a symbol of triumph in Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid's hand signal as the ruler
of Dubai. Since the national birds are frequently transported in first class due to the medical
grade's commitment to their health and well-being, our objective in using this image is to
provide flights at a reasonable cost, with the falcon in this case standing in for our guests.
The company's mission will be clear from the logo, eliminating the need for any
additional explanation.
• Tagline
In order for consumers to remember and understand our company's mission, we must
effectively express it. We so intend to convey to the market through the use of this catchphrase
by showing how new every flight feels and that the customers needs are our top priority and
that we would go above and beyond to meet our commitments. And the main goal of this
brand is to establish relationships with all demographics and treat them with respect.
Furthermore, we promise to provide every world citizen the greatest air travel experience.
o Aircraft designing
88
The company's aircraft will be easily recognizable wherever they fly if it has a prominent
logo and color scheme, whether it be regionally specific or global. Painting protects the plane
from things like fuel spills, salt, oxidation, and other corrosive elements. Brand recognition and
recognition of our airlines will be aided by having our logo painted on and designed for our
planes. In addition, "MASCO," a pioneer in the MRO sector that is a subsidiary of the Middle
East Airlines Group, will be responsible for the painting of our planes because of the company's
expertise in developing effective maintenance plans and repair procedures. However, in an
effort to reduce overhead, we will provide them with paint acquired from "Alibaba," a Chinese
global technology corporation specialized in e-commerce, retail.

attendants, flight attendant supervisor, and customer support personnel. We designed a sleek,

sleeves' golden stripes. Passengers will be able to differentiate airline crew members from

Promotion plan
Marketing promotion is a type of marketing communication that aims to persuade
target customers about the benefits of a good, service, or brand while also educating them
about the brand in order to raise sales and brand recognition. Increasing demand, showcasing
your goods, and differentiating it are the three main objectives of promotions. In order to

in an offline way, such as through print, direct mail, phone, newspapers, magazines, and
outdoor advertising like billboards. This kind of marketing is more efficient and helps directly
reach specific consumers, whether through radio or newspapers. “Leads Dubai”, a reputable
third-party publisher, will oversee publishing FlyFalcon's advertisements.
o Digital Marketing

It helps in contacting potential customers who are hard to get in touch with. Wider
audience reach, adaptability, and short lead time are all advantages of billboard advertising.
Flyfalcon will employ billboards as advertising tools, and they will be positioned next to heavily
used roads that is Sheikh Zayed Road and Emirates Road, which are both busy thoroughfares.
o Vehicle advertising
96
A practical and economical approach to advertise a business is through transit media,
often known as vehicle advertising. Buses, trains, taxis, subway cars, and transit shelters all
have signage and pictures on the inside and outside of their vehicles. With an almost limitless
target demographic, this marketing strategy offers a comprehensive media channel. The target
market may be reached more directly via vehicle ads. due to the advertising's proximity to the
target audience. The adverts so forge a more intimate connection with the potential customers
for the business. Fly falcon will rent 20 RTA taxis and the advertisement will be published on it.
Social media has now permeated every aspect of our lives and made it simpler for
individuals to interact and communicate with one another. Additionally, by inexpensively
publicizing their products or services to the global audience, social media platforms like
97
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Google have assisted in the growth of numerous
enterprises. Advertising on social media is a quick and efficient approach to reach your target
audience and expand your marketing initiatives.
By utilizing social media, Flyfalcon will be able to reach a larger and more diversified
prospective of potential customers through social media at a reduced cost, which will in turn
which can potentially result in high rates of return. In order to market, communicate with
consumers, develop a brand image, and raise brand recognition, Flyfalcon Airlines will use some
social media applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Google. To draw
in a broader audience, we'll make sure these platforms are educational and well-promoted. To
do this, we will collaborate with influencers at a discount to increase our digital presence and
seek the help of expert digital marketers to help us increase our online visibility.

o Influencer
The term "influencer marketing" refers to the practice of promoting a product or service
by collaborating with influential people who have earned the respect of their target market.
Because most people put more faith in the opinions of those they know and trust than they do
in commercials, this is a crucial marketing strategy. The terms "influencer" refers to those who,
by their posts on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and others
(sometimes with the support of advertisers), have the power to sway the purchase decisions or
observable behaviors of their followers. Gaining an influencer's endorsement might help you
generate more leads and sales since their followers will subconsciously trust you because of the
influencer's endorsement. Numerous influential people have a massive amount of support from
their followers.
As part of an effort to expand the FlyFalcon airlines brand recognition, the airline will
partner with “Fahad Kaleem, Mohammed Magdi, Khalid Al Ameri and Salama Mohammed, and
Nora Achmaouri and Khalid Alherani ” through social media agencies as they have a massive fan
following, so we will reach a wide range of audience.

highly fruitful for businesses since it allows them to spread their message to a wide
demographic. Although it may be costly to create a television commercial, the ad will be money
well spent if it increases company revenue and/or promotes consumer familiarity with the
company's brand.The fly falcons commercial will air for 30 seconds every day over the 60-day

Interviewing aviation experts and analysts is a great way to expand our audience and
develop relationships with our subjects, and CNN's "Quest for Business" program assists us in
doing this. They are easier to implement and can have a significant impact on our readership.
It is much simpler and quicker to test hypotheses, ask questions, and fill in research gaps
when one can have an in-depth talk with an expert; such a dialogue may also aid in clarifying

A targeted way to communicate with the correct audience is offered through email
marketing and SMS rather than blanketing them with adverts they don't care about. Those that
choose to opt in are obviously very interested in what you have to say. Also, the use of email
marketing to reach new customers is still a viable and inexpensive option. You can quickly reach
a large number of people with email marketing because to the ease with which you may scale
up your mailing list. You may expect to see a significant increase in qualified visitors by
employing this strategy. SMS marketing, on the other hand, is a potent tool for reaching certain
demographics. The average time it takes to read a text message is four minutes. As a result,
SMS marketing is widely regarded as the most effective method of communicating with this
audience.
By sending out text messages and emails, FlyFalcon Airlines will immediately reach its
target audience and inform them about deals, promotions, and new services. As a result, there
is a probability that these clients may become committed repeat buyers once they start
receiving regular updates and reminders from us. Reaching out to potential audience via text
message and email marketing is highly effective. A telecommunications firm's assistance in
getting our advertisements sent to prospective people via email and text message is essential
to making this happen. Etisalat is a popular UAE-based telecom that specializes in text message
and electronic mail advertising. Consequently, Fly Falcon will negotiate a contract with them.

In most cases, wing walkers will work with the guidance system or marshaler to help
minimize the impact of ramp traffic on the aircraft's wing tip clearance.
On the way out, a marshal will inspect the area around the engine to make sure that it's
clear of hazards and that there are no indications of an engine fire. The marshaler will also use
Emergency Hand Signals to advise the crew about a potential fire.
Wing walkers will be provided if the aircraft is to be pushed off the stand. Wheel chocks
will be inserted once the aircraft is on-stand, and external services such as the boarding stairs
and passenger bridge will be connected or positioned. Some of these include the ground
electrical service and the air conditioning units.
Once the departure time has arrived, the baggage will be removed and taken off as
directed by the flight crew. The freight and baggage on the inbound plane will be off-loaded
using the appropriate equipment, such as split-loaders, fork trucks, and baggage belts. The
outbound items will be loaded onto the aircraft.
It's important to note that the handling of Dangerous Goods should be done correctly.
The load planner's instructions should be followed properly when it comes to loading an aircraft
with cargo. When refueling, the crew will move the plane to or from a maintenance facility on
an as-needed basis.
Depending on the requirements of the flight, the aircraft will be refueled according to
the procedures specified by the pilot in command or the dispatcher. In the event that the
128
passengers are still onboard, certain protocols will be followed to ensure that the aircraft is
refueled.
The aircraft's water tanks will be refilled. In addition, the galley, lavatories, and the cabin
will be cleaned. In order to restock the toilets, the contents of the containers will be taken out.
Blankets and pillows will be replaced, and newspapers will be brought onboard.
The oven inserts and catering trolleys from the inbound flight will be taken out, and the
food for the outbound flight will be prepared.
The bar stock and the galley will also be restocked. Before the flight departs, the crew
will be given the necessary documents, such as a fuel uplift receipt, the aircraft load and trim
form, and the freight manifests and notifications for dangerous goods. The crew will
additionally be provided with the necessary documents if they complete their own load and
trim form.
In certain cases, an auxiliary power unit (APU) may be required to start at the sole
engine. In this case, a high-pressure air cart will be used to start the unit. In order to move the
aircraft off the ground, ground equipment will be used. When necessary, either the aircraft
ground de-icing or engine core and fan de-conditioning will be carried out.
The most common location where engine core de-icing is performed is at the parking
position. On the other hand, aircraft de-icing can be done at a remote facility or in-site.
The price list for the package for an Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 will cost 1,200,000 AED
per year.

Quality Check
The quality of aviation is very important to the success of Fly Falcon. It involves ensuring
that the products and services that the company provides are up to the standard. This process
can be carried out through the establishment of a Quality Assurance Program. This system is
responsible for ensuring that the various activities of the company are conducted in accordance
with the latest procedures and requirements.
Plan
A quality management system is a process that aims to continuously improve an
organization's processes. It can be done through the establishment of a control and
management system that is designed to ensure that the company's operations are conducted in
131
accordance with the latest standards and procedures. According to the International Standards
Organization (ISO), a quality management system is an organization's structure, procedures,
and resources that are designed to continuously improve its operations.
Control:
The procedure of Quality Control can be detailed as the following:
• The operation specialist is responsible for ensuring that the company's operations are
conducted in accordance with the latest standards and procedures. He or she is also
responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive maintenance plan that is
designed to ensure that the company's resources are used properly.
• The product manager is responsible of overseeing the execution of standardized
maintenance tasks with the leasing company. Certified maintenance reports should also
be assigned to Fly Falcon for record keeping of the aircraft. Discrepancies or defects
generated and/or found during normal operation will be recorded, corrected, and
inspected to ensure serviceability and airworthy of the aircraft, components and/or
system involved.
• Non-performing maintenance personnel should be assigned to inspect the work to
ensure that it is in conformance with the standards established by the manufacturer and
the contractor. A functional check of the system that is affected by the work should also
be carried out before the final inspection.
• During the inspection process, the quality control inspector should inform the
maintenance personnel about any issues or irregularities that were found during the
work. They should also perform corrective actions and bring the work back into
conformity.
• The final decision regarding an issue involving an aircraft or component is made by the
product specialist. This is the person who decides on the issue after talking with the
maintenance personnel and the component or aircraft's manufacturer.
Assurance
The concept of quality assurance is a process that focuses on planning, techniques, and
procedures. It is a proactive tool that can help prevent defects. It considers various aspects of a
process, such as planning and completion, to identify potential issues that could lead to errors.
The goal of quality assurance is to identify gaps in the regulations or the organizational
requirements of an organization. This process is carried out to ensure that the various programs
and equipment used in the aviation industry are in compliance with the standards set by the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
132
Risk Assessment
The severity of a hazard is determined by the impact it has on an aircraft and its
occupants.The severity assessment process can be carried out by taking into account various
factors such as the exposure time of the crew, the impact of the hazard on the aircraft, and the
mitigating measures that are acceptable by the safety regulator. For instance, the use of an
aircraft collision avoidance system known as TCAS is considered to be a feasible and effective
solution to the mid-air collision hazard.
The severity of a hazard can be determined based on the credible effects it has on the
safety of an aircraft. In addition to the actions taken by the safety regulator, the other factors
that can affect an aircraft's operation are also taken into account.In certain cases, the most
severe effect will only be considered once the system has exhausted its options to affect the
outcome. For instance, if a bird strikes an engine of an aircraft, its impact can be transmitted to
multiple engines simultaneously.
Probability of Occurrence
The goal of the safety reporting process is to estimate the probability of a hazard
happening. This process usually involves using a classification scheme to perform a structured
review. In some cases, the data collected through the safety reporting process can be used to
provide a direct numerical estimate of the likelihood of a particular hazard happening. For
instance, it can be used to estimate the probability of a component failure.
133
Safety and Security Measures
The aviation industry is considered to be one of the most important industries in the
world, and safety is a top priority. There are various threats that can affect the operations of
the industry.
134
Among the most common threats to the industry are insider threats, which can affect
the operations of an airline. Some of these include civil unrest, which can impact the aircrew
during their stopovers away
from their home base,
terrorist activities, and issues
with human trafficking. Other
risks include illegal
immigrants and contraband.
A security
management system (SMS) is
a framework that enables an
organization to effectively
manage its security
operations. It provides a set
of principles and guidelines
that help it identify and
prevent threats.
The SeMS framework
is designed to help
organizations in the aviation
industry embed security
within their culture and
operations. It can be used by
any organization that
operates in the sector,
regardless of its size. It can
also help the Civil Aviation
Administration (CAA) develop
flexible and risk-based
oversight procedures.
Instead of relying on traditional procedures, a security management system can help
organizations make proactive practices. It can also improve communication and performance
within the organization, as well as with regulators. Moreover, it can enhance a company's
security culture and regulatory collaboration.
Through a robust SeMS, Fly Falcon can easily engage with its various departments and
assess and manage security threats and risks. It can also help the organization report incidents
and improve its efficiency.
135
he five core components of an effective security culture are evaluated using the SeMS
framework. You can see the list below with the subitems that are related to each component.
The implementation and conformance phases should also involve taking the necessary
measures.

Conclusion:
Fly Falcon is a new venture entering the air transport industry, with a fund of AED 20
million to initiate its operations. The destinations offered are to Doha, Qatar and Medina, Saudi
Arabia, with a home base in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. To operate our daily flight operations,
we will be leasing the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 to be flown in years one and two, as the two
destinations will be offered to our passengers. Afterwards, since we expect a growth in demand
of ticket purchases and passenger rates, we will be leasing the ATR 72 600 of which is a slightly
larger aircraft with a few more seating, to initiate flights in year three alongside operating our
initially leased aircraft, the Bombardier.
In year one, we are expecting to go through a loss due to the high payments required for
initiating operations as a startup. Subsequently, it is mandatory to strategically plan the next
years to ensure profit is being retained. Whether it is from flight tickets or ancillary products, it
was obligatory to use methods of marketing and others to attract more customers. Based on the
justifications within the plan, we expect to gain profit by year three, with assistance of revenue
generation and investments from stakeholders. As in that year, through analyzation of the sales
forecast revenue, we expect to showcase an elevated growth of revenue, in terms of flight tickets
and ancillary products. The revenue will be steadily growing in the following years due to
continuation of similar annual operations.
To illustrate further in regard to the sales forecast revenue, the ancillary products, we are
expecting to convey a growth of estimated 382% of revenue in comparison to year two and three
expected revenue. This is due to the changes in operations being the increase of daily flights, the
addition of a new aircraft and the incorporation of new items in inflight catering.
Within the five years plan, there will be an addition of an aircraft to the fleet, growth in
frequencies of flight demands to both routes, and overall increase in passenger incomings of
which promotes connectivity of the world and revenue generation. This will assist in our futuristic
plan of expanding our network and providing flights to more trending destinations. As we desire
to offer more destinations to our customers.
To conclude, at the end of the five years plan, Fly Falcon will be a successful and reliable
airline venture that will generate high revenue in terms of ancillary products and ticket pricing.
As based on sales forecast revenue, the demand rates of passengers will show immense growth,
especially in year three.
