The question I am going to ask quite long but actually it's not mach
to search i just want to make sure that you can pick up every thing i
want.

I am to write a research paper also I have to discuss about
restructuring of old ways to stay in business to servive in the
currrnt global uncerttainties of aviation operations.Also I have to
discuss for the implementation of a set of operational amd management
policies for the introduction, and continued operation of "new"
domestic or regional(Australia) airline operation, with details of its
intended role, or market and competitive advantages.

The choice,market and style of the operation is your decitions
,whether it is a new undertaking , or perhaps a takover of another
business, or any other business model(explained)that is pertinent to
your ideas.

Whilst the issue of actual costs will remain outside of realm of this
discussion, basic cost considerations should br included. the main
emphasis should be on ensurind the continued operation of the new
business, in the current climate of aviation business in the
Australia, or regional context

I need it ASAP

I can't be specific to airlines or Austraila, but moderation is the
key to success in most businesses. You need to resist the temptatation
to spend big money on terrorism prevention, or other items not being
supplied by the competition. Avoid fancy offices and other fluff. I
suggest you have few upper management people and few middle management
people and under pay both groups. You will be pleasently surprised how
often low level employees make workable decisions in the absence of
someone to micromanage. Replace the lower level people with different
low pay persons until you have a staff that rarely makes major
blunders. Avoid perfectionism. If it works with rare bad side effects,
don't try to perfect the proceedure. Consistency is the enemy of
inovation. Typically you can tell employees, the bottom line is what
counts, so do it your way, if you are willing to bet your employment
on a horriable side effect you did not anticipate, alternately find
out what usual proceedures are. Be reasonably forgiving of error due
to inovating otherwise you will trail the industry in finding better
ways. Many of your employees will educate themselves, so avoid
instructing them except in critical areas.  Neil

Well, if you are going to keep it a domestic/regional airline, then it
might help to market it as 'low cost' airline. Avoid any food-in-the
air. have real good guys - few though - who would really understand
the 'load factor' and suggest the most profitable schedule -
emphasising on the board-off points. invest your money in a good
software system which will help these guys come up with such
schedules. go for Electronic ticketing from day one - its big money
saver with lot of other benefits. have codeshare agreements in such a
way that it should *really* translate into profit for ur airline -
that would involve a lot of data analysis.
you will have to choose a good Airline applications system where you
can host your airline - that is the system will provide all the
resrvations, fares, pricing, departure control etc support. in all
probability, you will be hosting on some already established system
such as Amadeus,Sabre or Galileo. This hosting of your operations
costs you money. If you are low-cost airline, you will not be using
all the facilities that are offered by such an system *BUT* they
charge you - most of the times - all the same whether or not you use
all the facilities. Therefore, may be you can go for a system which is
good enough and doesn;t charge you for what you don;t use. SHARES is a
system (run by EDS where one of the users is Continental) where you
can do this. I have seen it working, and can say that it's pretty
good. If you choose an appropriate software system, you might end up
saving a few millions a year - with guarenteed good performance. -
