Ancillary Revenue Management in the Airline Industry

Introduction There is a stiff competition between the network airlines and the low-cost carriers (LCCs) in the airline aviation industry. For a long time, the traditional network airlines have been struggling to cope up with the many economic uncertainties in the industry, especially the rising cost of jet fuels and increasing operating costs. Consequently, to survive in the industry, they have been forced to come up with new ways of generating revenue. Like LCCs, the network carriers are now considering unbundling their services to produce additional income. Network airlines are also adopting the trend of selling chargeable services, which ...

The function of golli-MBP is less understood than that of the classic MBP. However, golli-MBP is believed to play an important role in various physiological activities such as the regulation of calcium (Ca) homeostasis especially in oligodendrocytes (OLs) and in T-cells ( Paez et al., 2007). The latter authors investigated this particular property of golli-MBP using fluorescent protein clones, cell lines and imaging techniques. It was revealed that when overexpressed in OL cell lines (N19), the golli proteins activate the elaboration of processes and sheets which retract rapidly following a depolarization with high potassium ions (K+). Simultaneously, a substantial augmentation ...
