Purchase your pet carrier a month in advance so your pet can get used to it A little pre-flight walking will keep your pet calm Always include contact info on your pet’s tag Use direct flights, travel on the same flight Pug-nosed animals cannot travel in the cargo holds. (oxygen deprivation and heat stroke) Small pets may travel with their owners only if stowed under the seat. Pets too big to fit under the seat are relegated to cargo and are treated as such. Air Travel Tips for Pets
Most airlines will only accept one or two pets per flight so if you don’t book early your pet might not be one of those animals. Cargo pet travel is not available when outside temperatures are below 45 degrees or above 85 degrees. Due to the lack of oxygen and temperature control in cargo holds, the most common causes of death to pets transported that way are suffocation and heat prostration. Several airlines (including Southwest, USA Air and Continental) have announced they will no longer accept pets on board Even if cargo is climate-controlled, when the cargo door closes, not humans to monitor your pet Use of tranquilizers is possible in some cases Air Travel Issues for Pets

Pet Airways in the News
Travel editor Joe Yonan and his dog Red went undercover if Pet Airways is indeed as good as it claims to be. Joe had poured over the sites FAQs,  and a staff member called him days earlier to go over procedures: health certificate, accurate measurement (for crate selection purposes), discussion of Red's demeanor and crate training. The pilot himself gave a friendly greeting to Red and the lounge manager took Red to sniff around the lounge while Joe filled out paperwork When Red arrived a staff called up Joe to let him know that Red landed safely and can be picked up anytime Flight attendant was walking Red around when Joe arrived Staff asked for ID before releasing Red Pet Airways in the News
Behind the scenes tour after landing Flight attendant reads the notes next on crate, with weight, destination, and personality comments Went over which pets needed medication Took the dogs out to feed, water, and walk Made sure they had their “luggage” (bag of treats, food, T-shirt or pillowcase many owners had left so their scent could be put into the crate with their pet) Pet Airways in the News
Airline Deregulation Act [H] Highly saturated [L] Economies of scale (for profitable operations) [L] High initial investments and fixed costs [L] Low brand loyalty of customers [H] Protected intellectual property like patents, licenses etc. [H] Distribution channels easily accesible[H] High switching costs for customers [H] Little threat of new entrants surviving in the airline industry. Threat of New Entrants
The airline industry comprises a large number of small operators [H] The product is undifferentiated and can be replaced by substitutes [H] Switching to an alternative product is relatively simple and is not related to high costs [L] The product is of strategic importance for the customer   [L] Power of Buyers
Fuel supply fluctuates Airframe source: Few – mainly Boeing and Airbus [H] The suppliers' customers are fragmented, so suppliers could afford losing one customer  The switching costs from one supplier to another are high Power of Suppliers
Low brand loyalty of customers [H] High switching costs to other airline for customers [H] Switching costs between air travel and its substitutes are fairly low [L] will change according to the route, reason for travel and the customer-type. The relative price for performance of substitutes [M] Threat of Substitutes
There are many players providing same product [H] Players have similar strategies  [H] Not much differentiation between players & their products, hence, there is much price competition [M] Low market growth rates (growth of a particular company is possible only at the expense of a competitor) [M] Barriers for exit are high [M] Mergers and acquisitions Rivalry of Existing Firms
target markets based on their current size and growth projections Large market = stable growth = high competition = consistent stream of customers entrepreneur in the growing pet industry, it is best to focus on a niche category segment, but execute a differentiated offering within that category segment The Market
Instead of competing with rivals in existing market, create unique offerings = Value Innovation Blue Ocean No-agreed on industry name Not directly competing with other airlines Pets travel with owners Create new best-practice rules
Strategy Canvas Jet Blue Pet Airways
The Four Actions Framework
Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create Grid
Six Paths Framework
Alternatives : bus, car, or train Substitutes: pet sitters; pet resorts Space between alternative industries provide opportunities for value creation Why do customers trade across them? Focus on key factors that lead buyers to trade across alternative industries Path 1: Look Across Alternative Industries
Amtrak does not allow pets except for service animals at the present time.  Service animals are allowed on all trains and buses by law. Small dogs in enclosed carriers are allowed on the buses and light rail. You must be able to transport your dog and the carrier by yourself, and you need to hold the carrier on your lap. Noise or odor may give cause for refusal to transport the animal.  Pet Public Transportation
Bob and Betty Matas did not want to transport their cats in an airplane cargo hold on the trip to their new home so instead hailed a cab for the trip 2,500 mile taxi cab ride from New York to Arizona Drove 10 hours a day for a $3,000 flat rate plus gas, meals and lodging Cleo the cat
Change the definition of pet travel People who like to travel with their pet People with large pets have to send their pets to cargo People with small pets can carry them in main cabin People who leave their pets at home Which factors determine customer’s decisions to trade up or down from one group or another Path 2: Look Across Strategic Groups Within Industries
Purchasers: pet owner, agility competitors Users: pets Influencers: pet products (PetMate, pet carrier maker), non-profit organizations, animal societies Shifting buyer groups can unlock new value Path 3: Look Across the Chain of Buyers
Untapped value is often hidden in complementary products or services More and more pet-friendly hotels add a perceived value Affects demand for their business What about a pet airline with a travel package? Path 4: Look Across Complementary Product and Service Offerings
Challenge the functional-emotional orientation of the industry to find new market space What elements can you strip out to make it functional What elements can be added to make it emotional Functional – move pet from point A to point B Emotional – safe and guilt-free Path 5: Look Across Functional or Emotional Appeal to Buyers
Looking at trends and how they impact the industry pet-related spending is recession proof Path6: Look Across Time Total U.S. Pet Industry Expenditures Year                 Billion  2010                 $47.7 Est. 2009                 $45.5  2008                 $43.2 2007                 $41.22006                 $38.5 2005                 $36.32004                 $34.42003                 $32.42002                 $29.52001                 $28.51998                 $231996                 $211994                 $17   Growth in the following: ,[object Object]

  34. a well established company with a large customer's base and air fleet could be more efficient in their performance and therefore in a certain way realize economies of scale. This is a huge barrier for any company interested in entering this market as large investments into aircraft should be expected. You also need to find trained staff, fully equip all the planes, rent hangars, etc. This is a real threat as the customers are not forced to be loyal to the brand. They can choose from various providers by just-a-click-away change and do not hesitate to try another, new provider. There are no limitations in air transportation concerning intellectual property and therefore this results in no barriers for new entrants. The main distribution channel from airlines to customers is the Internet and therefore anyone can access and no control is performed. The other channels are individual and again of no restriction or limitation. So the power of this aspect is strong. increase the switching cost by loyalty programsBeginning in 1993, startups were eventually consolidated and incorporated into the major airline companies. “Eight of the 11 major airlinesdominating the industry in 1978 ended up filing for bankruptcy, merging with other carriers, or simply disappearing from the radar screen,”

However, we try to differentiate by additional services and providing high comfort to all segments of our customers. There are many substitutes to air travel but not with equal value to customers (more in the substitutes section). Switching to an alternative product (i.e. other ways of transportation - ground, water) is easy and requires no financial costs at all. But it could bring increased costs of time, money or comfort of travelling. And this rises with the distance travelled. Therefore this aspect is not of high influence. For long-distance travelling flying is the top means of transportation as it's the fastest and most comfortable way to reach the desired destination. Therefore it is of strategic importance because without air transport a lot of places would remain almost unreachable to the customer. But as for the close destinations, other means of transport could be considered.
  36. Few airplanes (and airplanes parts) producers and therefore they could have strong power to control the air travel industry There are more than 200 airlines all over the world and despite some alliance organizations (such as IATA) we are all potential competitors. The power of this element is relatively high as the suppliers could afford losing one customer but the customer can't afford loosing the critical supplier (e.g. Boeing). Switching costs in air transport industry are mainly related to the fact of limited airplanes producers and to the machine a company already owns.
  37. There is no actual substitute for air travelling in global scope but alternative means of transportation (trains, trucks, ships, cars etc.) could be used to provide similar service. These substitutes could be more convenient for local or near transportation but for overseas or holiday travelling as well as for fast cargo transportation air is the best option. The price might vary but customers don't evaluate the whole service just in terms of actual price paid but also in terms of implicit costs such as time saved, comfort of travelling etc.
  38. There is not an easy way to differentiate from competition in this industry and the strategies of the competitors are very similar. They all use loyalty programs, they all conclude long-term contracts with travel agencies, online check-inAll the investments into aircraft and staff might make it difficult to leave the industry but it might get also very expensive to stay in the area when being unprofitable. In addition, planes are machines which are not company-specific and could be sold and further used by other airlines.

  40. Cannot pursue differentiation and low cost at the same time.Break the value-cost trade-off = creating new best-practice rulesValue-Cost Trade-off is the conventional belief that companies can either create greater value to customers at a higher cost, or create reasonable value at a lower cost. Here strategy is seen as making a choice between differentiation and low cost. In contrast, those who seek to create blue oceans pursue differentiation and low cost simultaneously. This enables them to create a dramatic leap in value for buyers and the company itself

Normally, the meter clicks off at a rate of $2 a mile in the city, but cabbies and passengers are supposed to negotiate a fair price for trips outside the five boroughs.At the standard rate, the trip to Sedona would cost about $5,000 - plus another $5,000 for the return, said David Pollack, who puts out the Taxi Insider newspaper and is executive director of the Committee for Taxi Safety.Donohue, P.(2007, April 8).
