  2. Business wants IT to enable its ticket sales via online services . There are huge profits, benefits & customer satisfaction to be realized with having online ticket sales via Delta.com, Orbitz.com, MYOBtravel.com, Priceline.com Business wants IT to provide remote access to employees Business wants IT to provide flight attendants & pilots with live, real-time update schedule information Business wants IT to enable immediate transmission of schedule & flight information to customers Business wants IT to provide personal computers to employees Business wants IT to deliver agile solutions to eBusiness requests Ebusiness is a term used to describe businesses run on the Internet, or utilizing Internet technologies to improve the productivity or profitability of a business. In a more general sense, the term may be used to describe any form of electronic business —- that is to say, any business which utilizes a computer. This usage is somewhat archaic, however, and in most contexts ebusiness refers exclusively to Internet businesses.
  3. 1997 In 1997, Delta had rated low on key customer metrics in the airline industry on timely arrivals, customer complaints and baggage handling. Delta had so-called hidden assets such as its brand recognition, a large customer base and purchasing power. 2000 In 2000 Leo Martin, CEO of Delta airlines wanted to focus further on the Internet technology as it was a channel offering lower distribution costs, increased employee productivity and improved customer service. Delta airlines were the 3rd largest airline as it related to revenues & passenger miles & largest as it related to number of departures and passengers. From 1997 to 2000, delta was investing in eBusiness. Delta looked at Priceline.com as a distribution channel. Priceline.com sold Delta’s excess tickets at discounted prices to customer segment that considered ‘price’ as a factor that would determine if they traveled or not. This vision was enforced by the CFO and Leo martin was persuaded and convinced to move on this strategy. As Priceline’s stock rised, Delta banked $750 million. As Delta were the first ones to reap profits in this kind of a business model(start-ups partnering), they decided to further leverage this model by partnering with Softnet Zone (wireless services) & People PC(personal computers). This was to achieve the speed & agility of the start-up companies.
  4. Focus on sales & distribution of tickets B2B Initiatives Although Orbitz is also an example of the B2B strategy – there was still room to grow on that area – not yet very established. B2E Initiatives This was focused around improving productivity & job satisfaction. Delta’s intranet was developed to the extent that it was a means to communicate assignments & schedules to Delta’s pilots & flight attendants. Also, free personal computers were distributed and remote access for employees was built. B2C Initiatives Travel Agents were the main distribution channel and were responsible for 85% of Delta ticket sales. By 2000, this reduced to 60% with the rest being completed via online. Delta aimed to have 50% of its ticket sales done via online by 2003. This would mean a significant cost saving for the company ($2 via online vs. $34 via TA per ticket) – approximately $20 million.
  5. eBusiness Organization 50 employees formed the entire team; pulled into projects as needed Cross-functional phenomenon Changing internal processes to enable firm respond to faster e-business opportunities Partnership with start-up’s Using Consultants & Contractors eBusiness team would disband from projects such as MYOBtravel.com & Orbitz & transfer to functional units such as sales & distribution
  6. Delta had TIBCO as their IT alliance partner to support business event based activities to be captured using technology. IT Infrastructure Business wanted to improve on customer experience, as a result of which old legacy systems were eliminated/rebuilt with new infrastructure – DNS – build around firm’s core processes. Firms Core Data was captured in 9 databases Location Schedule Flight Maintenance Equipment Employee Aircraft Customer Ticket Middleware used was TIBCO – All applications would access all updated & Relevant data. Prioritize – Profitability & Competitiveness Vince did ROI of Projects – Reduce Costs, Increase Revenues, Offer Valuable equity Positions This information was sent to the IB Board, where an evaluation would be done relative to other IT Projects
  7. Lower distribution costs as part of the company’s ongoing restructuring efforts. Continue to charge customers if purchased via ticket agent or ticket booth at airlines. Those purchasing tickets via Delta website do not incur the fees. Focus on enhancing productivity and job satisfaction to create a motivating work environment where all employees are treated fairly. Effective project managers must learn to cultivate this powerful method of worker motivation to increase employee productivity. Reduce cost by promoting greater fuel efficiency and reducing flying times. Delta to retire older, less fuel efficient planes and use new planes as much as possible as a way to cut emissions per flight. Customers to earn and redeem frequent flier miles through opening and using credit cards. Give gift incentives for customers when credit card is charged over certain amount. In addition to getting free mileage they get gifts as well. Continue to provide wireless connection while in flight. Establish partnership with leaders and companies that are passionate to provide the very best experience possible. Ensure every employee under promises and over delivers to each customer to gain their trust to potentially acquire a repeat customer.
  8. Provide millions of worldwide airline passengers each year with new business concepts and other services while in flight. Diversify and expand to encourage other companies to buy in and increase market share. Enable strategic sourcing in support of airport maintenance and provide innovative solutions to meet business needs. Delta’s e-business initiatives to support its core business driving value from it’s hidden assets. Build a promising new future on a solid foundation. Take air travel to the next level with continued excellent service in award winning Mileage Plus program, extensive international network, and premium seating. Merge with airline company to force competition to act as well.
  9. Delta needs to develop, manage and sustain morale values among employees in order to reach a high performing organization. Delta needs to instill and create an environment where managers apply approaches for employees to have increased morale. When developing the vision and strategy the foundation should be customer and client oriented. Customer support is weak with Delta. When a problem occurs, immediate assistance is not provided to the customer. This is a major problem since you want returned customers and build a reputation as #1 airline. Without a strong customer support base, the customer will not be inclined to use the airlines for future service. Delta is facing difficulty with providing excellent customer service. Airline quality is low since flights are not departing in time, passengers are being bumped to other destinations and bags are not being delivered to their proper destination. Delta is receiving complaints that are not related to safety or security issues. These complaints are decreasing the number of passengers choosing to fly with Delta.
  10. Increase sales and distribution of airline tickets by having Delta as one of the airline choices from all online purchases. Incentives to be distributed to customers to boost online tickets sales. The extensive worldwide destination on flights and services will be available for all online purchases to each customer. Online ticketing is cheaper and quicker and customer can readily search for products and compare prices over the Internet. Having Delta available for all online purchases would provide customer with more options to choose to fly with Delta. Rank #1 amongst competition with quality standards and customer service. Delta to be the number one choice of airline when it comes to flying passengers and cargo from anywhere to everywhere. Decrease transportation cost by 10% by using new planes that will save on fuel per flight. Every plane that departs and arrives will be on time with no delay. This will increase customer satisfaction in hopes to establish and gain repeat customers. Lower baggage complaints by increasing staff so that for every 40 baggage's an employee will be responsible and ensure it is taken to the correct destination. Ensure that there are the proper amount of employees available to be responsible for successful delivery to airplane. Hire staff to have a representative available for any questions when baggage arrives. This will increase customer service and lower baggage customer complaints significantly.
  11. Market Penetration – Penetrate further by providing more incentives to further spread in the market. Partner with Credit Card companies to provide free ticket on line. Provide package purchases with special rates. Product Development – Bring new capabilities to existing markets – provide interactive TV on airplanes, provide transportation services, additional meal choices, a separate flight or separate section for families with babies, provide travel plan for the higher end customers, vacation plans that can be sold in combination with tickets & partnerships Market Development – Internationally spread services – so you can gain new markets Diversification – Website for different segment tapping new markets. Provide a complete new bus service. Also collaborate with other industries.
  12. New Market Entrants: Foreign Airlines Regional Start up Airlines Substitutes: Alternate Travel Services Fast Trains Boats/Cruise Private Transportation - Business executives can purchase and use personal jet. Groupware - Improved group dynamics with use of groupware software's such as SharePoint, Blogs and Wikis allow less travel for business travelers.         Customers: Personal/Business Travelers - Frequent Personal/Business travelers demand additional incentives/benefits. Travel Agents - Travel Agents may request extra commission when referring to Delta Federal Government - Federal Government may request discounted prices for Government Employees. U.S. Military - U.S. Military may force Delta to allow free transportation for Military corps and allocate several routes to overseas military base. Suppliers: Aircraft Manufacturers Labor Unions - Pilot unions enforce considerable power because there is no good alternative to a well-trained pilots. Food Service Companies Fuel Companies - There is very few fuel companies in the market so they have major stack in price of fuel. Airports - Airports can tell Delta to not use it as major hub in the market forcing to use longer routes. Local Transportation Service
  13. Political & Legal Environment: FAA Rules Transportation Security Administration Local Airport Regulations International & Domestic Routes Regulations Complementors: (something that suppose to be good but goes wrong way) Delta.com, Priceline, Orbitz and MYOBtravel.com - Instead of focusing on different customer segments they starts competing with each other and bring ticket prices down. Technical Environment New IT Infrastructure - New Infrastructure most of times takes few years to get stable Online Ticket Sales - Downtime of online ticket sales has direct impact on revenue stream Demographic Environment Costly Employee Training - Pilot training has huge cost associated. Employee Turnover Age - Many pilots retire at early age due to health and vision are not matching government regulations. Social Environment Culture differences between travelers Delta sponsored events - Sponsoring football game may be viewed as encouraging violence for some customers Macroeconomic Environment Increasing cost of Fuel and maintained of aircraft Increasing employee wage Fluctuations between foreign currency - International traveler may buy cheaper ticket from other countries for same trip.
  14. Strengths: Broad customer base and revenue: In terms of passengers carried (87 million in 2004), Delta is the second-largest airline in the world. In terms of total operating revenues, Delta is the fourth-largest airline in the world. Well positioned hub: The Delta’s flight network is spanned across 452 destinations in 95 countries One of nation’s top 50 corporations for multicultural businesses: In 2004, Delta was named one of the nation’s “top 50 corporations for multicultural business” by DiversityBusiness.com Delta Technology: Delta Technology, information subsidiary, won the Computerworld Smithsonian Award for technology innovation in 2000. While Leo Mullin was named by Forbes magazine as a member of “The E-Gang”, twelve executives who were forcing the web to grow up. Weaknesses: Lower fair due to high competition: With so many small and big airlines across the US, there is high competition for every route. That has significantly affected the air fairs. The airlines cut air fairs just to match its competitor for each route. Security Inconvenience: In post 9/11 era, there has been great inconveniency associated with air travel for the flyers. At many airports, the airlines required flyers to come almost 3 hours before the departure to fulfill the security requirements before boarding. Security personals even required flyers to take of shoes for checking and in few incidents suspected the infants and toddlers. Low margins: In 3rd quarter of 2005’s published report from Air Transport Association stated that cents per Available Seat Mile equaled passenger yield at 12 cents. Highly unionized employees: Delta and other industry leaders have highly unionized workers, as it was the business practice in 20th century. Opportunity: Add new routes of Mexico, Africa, South America: Atlanta, Georgia is Delta’s one of the biggest hubs. Atlanta is a gateway to non stop flights to Africa, Mexico and South America. There are no US airlines providing service to Africa, so there is a great chance that Delta can take the advantage of this situation. Add special services in flight for greater customer experience: Delta can provide various services in-flight which are not available to greatly enhance customer experience. Delta can allow flyer to pre-select his/her choice of food during the flight. It can also provide a refreshment area in the international flights for the flyers. During long fly hours, flyers in economy class generally has option to go to toilet to relax a little bit. With this refreshment area, flyer can roam around and socialize for a while. Then Delta can cooperate with its partners to minimize the stay between the halts. Let’s say, I am flying from New York to New Delhi, India and there is 4 hrs. of halt in Paris. If there is a partner flight flying from Paris to New Delhi in next hour, the Delta may be able to shift me to the partner flight and I can save 3 hours of waiting. Implement Low cost model as in SouthWest Airline: The SouthWest Airline uses its employee base most efficiently. It’s employees are working almost 20 hrs more than industry average. It doesn’t have the employee union. It completely rewards employees based on profit sharing and stock options. It greatly optimizes the airplane by flying it for almost 11 hours a day which is more than any major airline. Threats: Low fair and special airline companies: There are many small airlines who fly only in small regions. With low profile and low fair strategy, it can lure customers away from big players. Airlines such as Hooters Air, for their special services can also lure customers away from Delta. Rising fuel and Labor costs: The US Airline cost Index report published from Air Transport Association states that labor and fuel cost amount to 49% of total administrative cost. High bargaining power for travelers: Presently, the current focus of an average flyer is on low price. The internet services such as Travelocity, Expedia and Priceline have made very easy for customers to find lowest available price to fly. High rival among large players: To avoid bankruptcy, the airlines are making reactionary price adjustments where every single dollar counts. They have opened many loyalty programs to retain customers and it has greatly affected their relations. Technology Advance: Tele/video conferencing & Virtual Meetings have greatly affected the frequent fliers. More and more companies are trying to implement this technology in their strategy to reduce the travel expense.
  15. Create Customer database : Need a database to contain information about customer profiles, booking records etc. to capture customer activities Data Analysis: Analyze database for various patterns and look for similarities on customer preferences, behavior, travel frequencies, frequency of online eBusiness sites etc. Decision about which customer to Target: Based on customer behavior determine how to engage customer. For example, if a customer visits delta.com few times in a month then send him/her monthly e-mail with special fare offers. Use different tools for targeting the customer: Segment Customers : Use different website like MYOBTravel.com, Orbitz.com, Delta.com to server different customer segments Offer free Goodies : Very loyal customer of Delta, for a long time offer goodies with delta logo. Build relationship with targeted customers: Proactive Customer Service: Offer proactive service to targeted customer. For example, in event of flight delay or cancellation call customer as soon as event is triggered. Loyalty Programs: reward customers for repeat purchasing. Offer special incentives upon site visits from frequent computers. Cross-selling: Airline ticket sales, ecommerce products, car rentals, hotel reservations, internet services, wireless services, Delta has partners in all of these areas and can sell all of these products/services Privacy issues: Make customer aware about where his/her information is being used and let customer pick in case of he/she wants to opt out. Metrics for CRM Success: CRM tools measures metrics for success of CRM. This way Delta can determine success of their current and future e-business initiatives. Also Delta can determine new product development which provide value. For example, based on data analysis if customer are interested in better personal entertainment while in flight then Delta may want to consider partner with Entertainment System Vendor and offer services to other airline companies.
  16. The Generic Value chain analysis, is a concept that was first described and popularized by Michael Porter in his 1985 best-seller, Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance. Value chain is a useful analysis tool as a model that helps to analyze specific activities through which firms can create value and competitive advantage. The concept has been extended beyond individual organizations. It can apply to whole supply chains and distribution networks Delta can gain “Competitive Advantage” by performing these activities more cheaply or better than its competitors. Competitive Advantage can be achieved by optimizing the value chain. This optimization can be achieved by improving the linkages between individual value chain activities or by reconfiguring the value chain.
  17. Under Leo Mullin’s leadership enabled Delta to enter in entrepreneurial mode. Many different new initiatives were established. B2C was instituted and Delta customers could choose from a variety of online channels. Delta joined a consortium of thirty airlines working to establish a B2B exchange. B2E initiatives focused on enhancing productivity and job satisfaction of Delta employees. Delta’s intranet enable its mobile workforce and was used as a means of communication. Delta employees got free PC encouraging PC literacy and the ability to work from home. Delta saw the benefits of this as employees familiarity with computing technology increased. Delta entered alliance with Priceline. No other airline in the industry had attempted this. Priceline sold tickets to customers for whom price was the major determinant guiding their travel choices. Delta sold $250 million in tickets through Priceline in 2000. For customers who typically compared prices, Delta formed Orbitz.com with United, American Continental and Northwest. Leo Mullin also wanted to strong IT infrastructure for Delta. The firm spent hundreds of millions of dollars to tear out it old legacy system and rebuild its IT infrastructure called the Digital Nervous System was built around Delta’s core competencies. Information needed by the core businesses was captured in nine central databases and middleware built around the databases so new applications could access and update relevant data. In September 2005, Delta introduced a comprehensive restructuring plan to achieve $3 billion in annual financial improvements by the end of 2007. Therefore on September 14, 2005 Delta and its subsidiaries file voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to address financial challenges and support ongoing efforts to become a simpler, more efficient and cost-effective airline. During the reorganization process, Delta succeeded at cutting costs and eliminated some unprofitable routes transforming the airline into a strong, financially viable company. After Delta came out of bankruptcy, there has been various talks going on with merging with another airline in order to reduce cost and minimize competition. This is favorable in short term due to increasing competitions from international airlines and increasing fuel costs.
  18. Leo Mullin, CEO of Delta, falls into Level 4 in the Five Levels of Leadership method. Delta employees followed and respected Leo because of what he did for the company. When Mullin became CEO in 1997, Delta rated last on all three of the key customer metrics in the airline industry. Three years later, Delta was the only airline to score in the top three on all three of the customer metrics. Mullin also lead Delta in actively pursuing e-business initiatives as well as other IT initiatives. He was prepared to initiate and accept responsibility for growth by developing a purpose and seeing it through to completion. Mullin made the difficult decisions that resulted in positive long term gains. Investment in robust IT infrastructure and notion of e-business to every delta employee helped Delta to come out of Chapter 11 file about a year ahead of expected time frame.
  19. Strategic Alignment Maturity Assessment Communications: Level 4 – Bonding & Unified Understanding of Business by IT: Level 3 – Limited IT awareness Technology upgrades correspond to new services, for example Delta has very new IT Infrastructure in house so IT may not aware of proper capabilities since there is some learning curve and they may not aware of full capabilities until its full use. The IT group uses state of art technologies into proposed services, but only after new services have been decided upon by business units. Understanding of IT by Business: Level 4 – Very good business awareness Business units are aware of functionality, the finished product Business units are involved in details behind implementation or why an upgrade is needed Inter/Intra-Organizational Learning: Level 3 – Informal Protocol Rigidity: Level 4 – Limited, relaxed Knowledge Sharing: Level 5 – Very structured process for sharing knowledge Liaison(s) Breadth/Effectiveness: Level 5 – Limited tactical knowledge Based

Delta named Richard Anderson, former CEO of Northwest Airlines and executive at United Health Group, as a replacement for outgoing CEO Gerald Grinstein. On January 15, 2008, Delta Air Lines was reported to be in merger talks with Northwest Airlines and United Airlines.[52] Although each airline has declined to comment officially, many notable newspapers, as well as industry analysts, expect an announcement as early as mid-February 2008 as to which airline the Delta Board of Directors would like to pursue a merger with. Code sharing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_airlines Under a code sharing agreement participating airlines can present a common flight number for several reasons, including: Connecting flights - This provides clearer routing for the customer, allowing a customer to book travel from point A to C through point B under one carrier's code, instead of a customer booking from point A to B under one code, and from point B to C under another code. This is not only a superficial addition as cooperating airlines also strive to synchronize their schedules and coordinate luggage handling, which makes transfers between connecting flights less time-consuming. Flights from both airlines that fly the same route - This provides an apparent increase in the frequency of service on the route by one airline Perceived service to unserved markets - This provides a method for carriers who do not operate their own aircraft on a given route to gain exposure in the market through display of their flight numbers
  27. Partnerships, diminishing returns and code sharing More Code Sharing with International and domestic airlines – cooperative services agreement between the major carriers to gain exposure in the market through display of their flight numbers. [1] Pros – Like Australian airline, Qantas Airways and the US's American Airlines to gain exposure in the market through display of their flight numbers like in 1990 when the trio created new business strategy. [1] Cons Tie-up with airlines that does not come at par with standards set by Delta. Possibility of losing Delta long standing customers to competition. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_airlines Code sharing is a business term which was first originated in the airline industry in 1990 when the Australian airline, Qantas Airways and the US 's American Airlines combined services between an array of US domestic cities and Australian cities. The code share was part of a "cooperative services" agreement between the two carriers before the various airline alliances were formed. It refers to a practice where a flight operated by an airline is jointly marketed as a flight for one or more other airlines. Most major airlines today have code sharing partnerships with other airlines, and code sharing is a key feature of the major airline alliances.
  28. Alter route structure Reducing domestic capacity by up to 20% while growing more profitable international route (special Asia, Caribbean and Europe) capacity up to 25%. Focus on emerging markets, notably five nations it dubs the BRICK countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Korea. Pros Greater global presence and possibility of higher profits in future over international routes specially in emerging markets of BRICK nations. Cons Late entrant into the market Delta applied to serve a daily non-stop flight from Atlanta to Beijing, China starting in March, 2006, but rights were instead awarded to American Airlines operating from Chicago to Shanghai. Delta served several cities in Asia, including Hong Kong, Seoul and Bangkok, from Portland and Los Angeles, using L1011s with stops in Anchorage for refueling. The hub at Frankfurt would eventually be closed. Discontinued services have included Shreveport-Monroe and Birmingham-Jackson, Mississippi. Closure of the Dallas-Fort Worth hub, created after Braniff Airlines ceased operations in 1982, in 2005. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_airlines

  31. Sources: Like American Airlines, Delta can also get computer system support from consulting companies like Sabre. Sabre Online travel system is a world leader in developing and deploying Airlines systems and solutions. From shoot off of American airlines to an independent company which the parent company and one of the popular websites – Travelocity.com American Airlines began offering customer access to its electronic reservation system, SABRE , on the CompuServe Information Service in the 1980s , under the "Eaasy SABRE" [1][2] brand name. This service was extended to America Online in the 1990s . Travelocity was created in 1996 , as a subsidiary of Sabre Holdings , itself a subsidiary of American Airlines and was run by long-time Sabre I.T. executive Terrell B. "Terry" Jones. As one of the pioneers of web-based disintermediation , Travelocity.com was the first website that allowed consumers themselves not only to access Sabre's fare and schedule information, but also to reserve, book, and purchase tickets without the help of a travel agent or broker. In addition to airfares, the site also permits consumers to book hotel rooms, rental cars, cruises and packaged vacations.

Much of Delta woes can be solved with Information systems are adopted and Business Intelligence is gained via better analytical information these systems provide and at a click of a button. Here is historical perspective of developments in Airline systems. 1992 Sabre introduces the Sabre® AirFlite™ flight scheduling system. 1994 Sabre and SNCF (French National Railroad) install the RESARAIL™ rail reservations and distribution system for the TGV network. The system is subsequently extended to the English Channel Tunnel. 1996 The Sabre Group does an IPO of 18 percent of stock. Travelocity.com launches March 12, 1996. 1998 Sabre Airline Solutions completes the largest system migration in the airline industry's history when 200 U.S. Airways systems are shut down and shifted to Sabre systems. Sabre forms a joint venture with ABACUS International to establish the SabreSonic™ passenger solution as the CRS market leader in Asia. 1999 Sabre introduces Best Fare Finder pricing, which allows travel agents to search for flights based on fare, rather than schedule. Travelocity announces it will merge with Preview Travel – the third largest online travel site at the time. 2000s 2000 Sabre spins off from AMR 100 percent. Sabre purchases GetThere, an online corporate travel booking tool. Sabre® eVoya SM Webtop is introduced as the next generation of travel agency technology tools, making it simple for Sabre Connected SM agencies to become Internet ready.
  33. High maintenance cost, low fuel efficiency and big size not suitable for many routes. Lockheed L-1011 - for many years the workhorse of the Delta fleet. 3. On September 23, 2004, a Delta spokesperson confirmed plans to sell eight MD-11s to FedEx. The remainder MD-11s were sold to World Airways for charter use, and some were converted to freighters for UPS. Sources: http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Commercial_Aviation/Dereg/Tran8.htm http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/AirlineDeregulation.html http://www.gao.gov/archive/1999/rc99092.pdf http://www.gao.gov/archive/1999/rc99092.pdf http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/AirlineDeregulation.html http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/sr/sr255/sr255toc.pdf In 1990, Delta became the first U.S. airline to operate the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft [14], leasing two from Mitsui. Delta operated 15 MD-11s. Delta's most dramatic expansion (at that time) came with its purchase of Pan Am's European routes in 1991 which included all north Atlantic routes except Miami to London and Paris, and the Frankfurt, Germany hub, after Pan Am declared bankruptcy. The purchase gave Delta the largest transatlantic route network, a fleet of 21 Airbus A310 aircraft, and the Worldport (Terminal 3) at JFK. Due to these acquisitions, Delta became and remains today the largest U.S. transatlantic carrier, in terms of passengers carried and number of flights operated. Delta also acquired Pan Am's northeastern shuttle, inheriting of a number of Boeing 727s, and forming what is today Delta Shuttle. In 1991, as one of the conditions for Delta's financial support of Pan Am, Delta had the rights to use the Pan Am name on flights across the Atlantic. Delta obtained all of Pan Am's remaining transatlantic rights, except Miami to Paris and London, in November, 1991, including the route from Detroit to London, despite Northwest Airlines' objections. It was an unusual route for Delta given its small presence in Detroit, and Northwest's correspondingly larger operations.[15] Northwest later attempted to buy US Air's (now US Airways) Baltimore-London route for $5 million and transfer the route to Detroit[16] but ended up buying the route from Delta in 1995[17] for a rumored $32 million. The naming right was never exercised even though the Pan Am name was a much more widely recognized name in Europe than Delta. Within weeks after the route and asset transfers were complete, Delta ended its financial support, leading to Pan Am ceasing operations on December 4, 1991.[18]

  35. Recommendations: With Delta’s increased agility in expanding market areas with robust technology, they have the opportunity to expand their international travel services into emerging markets and customer segments. As per To attract more international customers they can use localized flavor of services during flight. For example during flight travel from China to US, All personals in the flight may wear traditional Chinese clothes and offer Chinese food as alternative. International air travel from US is expected to grow at the rate of 33% within next 5 year as per US department of commerce. Reference: http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/ Delta can leverage unused cargo area of passenger services for transportation of shipping goods from UPS, DHL and FedEx. This service can be prime fit since Delta uses hub and spoke model for their airline trips. Moreover, growth in ecommerce industry caused constant increase in shipping goods in last decade. Delta can merge with major competitor which will allow them to gain a great competitive advantage against the other competitors with reduction in cost. Similarly Delta can acquire small competitor to gain specific demographic market share. This strategy is very helpful in current time of increasing resource costs and thinning profit margins. By creating partnerships with various cruise companies, Delta can offer discounted traveling of their passengers in prospective cities. Create new revenue model via leveraging recently renewed event based IT infrastructure "Digital Nervous System". Delta can offer IT services using their flexible IT infrastructure to other airlines. Delta can also use IT infrastructure to integrate with FAA and airport security and share customer information minimizing customer security check at airports. Customer security checkpoints are major hurdle for airline customers so introducing integrated environment would increase customer loyalty.
  36. CEO Leo Mullin will be responsible to create vision and business objectives for partnerships with Cargo business providers for possibility of getting business from them. However defining weight limitations and possibility of safety regulations may be an issue with further progress in this direction. Vicki Escarra will be responsible for identifying revenue recognition milestones and leverage existing resources to target new market areas . However customer service are may get impacted due to resources are allocated to pursue new business and may impact on Delta’s loyal customer base. Within 3-6 months Leo Mullin and Vince Caminti need to come up with various strategies with improving existing employee experience at Delta. CIO Bob Derodes will work with business partners to promote Delta’s new IT Infrastructure in an airline industry, at the same time they would need to provide interface for customers so they can check schedules, book ticket online using mobile devices available in market. Right now there is very small customer base who would utilize this feature, however Delta can be very ahead of offering such services in marketplace. Not only that most of users are expected to be business executives who are also loyal to Delta.
  37. Leo Mullin will need to work with business and IT executives to form a eBusiness projects portfolio committee and come up with a prioritized list of eBusiness initiatives. Since it is relatively new area in Airline industry it would be hard to assign matrices. Vicki and Vince will work together to start talk with various US and Europe based cruise services to transport their passengers to starting point of cruise. Also travel via Delta can be a part of package offered from Cruise companies. Since most of these cities are already covered by Delta they don’t see any major issue with this imitative.
