Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This paper analyses Eurowings' marketing strategy by applying different macro- and microeconomic tools in order to consider competition, political forces, environment influences and economic impacts. The goal is to examine in particular Eurowings' low cost long haul business model and which strategy was selected by the Lufthansa Group and how this strategy works. Additionally, the objective is to analyse Eurowings European competitors, with the major goal first to understand Eurowings' market position in Europe. Subsequently, the results of this strategic assessment show Eurowings' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The aviation industry in the 21st century has been changing continously. The low-cost carrier business model has revolutionised the commercial transport industry. Commercial Aviation industry and its development is positively influenced by external factors such as politival, social, economic and technological developments. Airlines are therefore forced to adjust their business models to the external factors and new market requirements, as well as to introduce new business concepts with the objective to gain more market shares and competitive advantages. The European market is divided into different low-cost carriers, each fighting for customers, image, and profit. Eurowings is a new player in this low-cost business, in particular in the market for long-haul destinations, which could become an opportunity to be the first successful low-cost German airline and the third biggest low-cost carrier in Europe.
