Freedom of the air

 The freedom of the air is a group of commercial aviating rights that grant the airlines of a country the rights to get into land of the airspace of other country. It was made in 1944 by many international associations such as the Chicago Convention known as the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The international commercial aviation route network is the fundamental association that helped in forming the freedoms of the air. The nine freedoms of the air are: 1. The right for flying over foreign country but without making landing in this country. 2. The right for being refueled and get maintenance in foreign country through travelling the way to another country. 3. The third is the right to fly from one's own country to another country. 4. The right to fly from a foreign country to the own country. 5.The right to fly between two countries during flights while the flight begins or ends in the own country. 6. The right to fly from a foreign country to another while stopping in one own country without technical reasons. 7. The right to fly between two foreign countries while not offering flights to one's own country. 8. The right to fly between two areas in a foreign country while continuing service to own country. 9. The right to fly into a foreign country while not giving service in own country. The possible reasons to make the freedoms of the air in the world of commercial aviation are related to logistics and other economic reasons such as advantages in communication and international cooperation in shipping.

 

Question 2

How can you analyze the impacts of breach of air freedoms to Qatar by GCC countries and Egypt?

The crisis in Qatar had left many passive impacts on the economy and logistics of Qatar as the breach lead many countries to cut diplomatic relations with Qatar such as Yaman, Liybia and Maldives. This also affected its trade movement as closing these countries' borders lead to decrease in exporting and importing and reduced Qatar global business and links with many other different countries. The problems of Qatar with these countries also affected its entering water boarders with other areas and land boarders as well, this made the movement of Qatari passengers more difficult and delayed than before. This lead to traffic revenue losses by Qarat airways and to many businesses in Qatar and related to it. 

What do you recommend to minimize the traffic revenue losses by Qatar airways? Support your recommendations with reasons.  

In order to reduce the traffic revenue losses by Qatar airways, it is then recommended to provide cheaper air flights to new areas where the airway lines are shorter in order to encourage travellers to go there. This is based on views of Dwell, (2017) who confirmed the need to change airway destinations when needed and according to the amount of revenue loss as it is important to innovate and provide new travelling solutions for customers. Another thing is to improve the customer experience within the air flight in order to reduce the passive effect on passengers who have to spend more time as a result of changing the air way paths.
