Demand and supply for domestic aitravel

[mr.jon]

Good evening all aviators.

I hope I posted this in the right forum...

Let me give you the case;

I am doing my university studies now and for my economics for business course, we should do a report on demand and supply for the domestic Australian air travel.

Basically we should answer; factors affecting the demand for airline travel.

Factors affecting the supply of airline travel.

And of course some conclusions from that.

We should start from 9/11 incident in the U.S and evaluate what has happened from that time until now. How such incidents and events have affected the demand and supply curve.

Other world events that have affected to demand and supply that I can think of is; SARS, Bali bombing and the war in Iraq. Also the Ansett collapse should be investigated. The changing oil prices is important.

Do you have any thoughts on this? I have a hard time researching, finding relevant material and such.

Anyways, I hope understood what I wrote and thanks for taking the time.

Hi Jon

Apart from macro events such as 9/11 you could start with
price elasticity/inelasticity. Oligopolistic behaviour etc

If your at uni have you looked at pro quest 5000 or Australian public affairs databases, these may have journal articles that may contain info about related demand and supply topics.

Hope this helps a little.

Also do some research on 'hyper' competition as that has absolutely fuelled the demand.

Good luck with the assignment!
