“Air Transport Market and Airline Distribution.”
Introduction
Airline strategies are crucial for establishing market leadership in the competitive aviation industry, particularly in the diverse and competitive Asia-Pacific region. With the right distribution strategy, Emirates Airlines' global reach and superior operations strengthened in this region (Alanezi and Al-Zahrani, 2020). Therefore, the study examines Emirates' internal sales organisation, market position, and the importance of additional revenue and social media in a five-year distribution strategy, building on prior discussions.
