Özet

Since the air transport sector generally has an oligopolistic market structure, a positive correlation is observed between financial structures and market shares of airline companies. For this reason, the air transport sector is open to be shaped by global players whose financial structures are stronger. The aim of this study is to analyze how cost management shapes competitiveness departing from the financial structures of airline companies that operate at the local level. In the study, the sector was considered as a whole and costs were examined from a structural perspective, the cost-increasing and cost reducing elements prioritized by firms in practice were explored, and several suggestions were formulated to gain competitive advantage. The study demonstrated that most players in the sector opt for cost leadership strategy since the sector has an oligopolistic market structure. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2011.
