Marketing Plan for Malaysian Airlines System Bhd

“The airline industry is highly competitive, is characterized by low profit margins and high fixed 

costs, and we may be unable to compete effectively against other airlines with greater financial 

resources or lower operating costs.” (wikinvest.com)

The above quote clearly spells out the critical challenges for organizations within the airlines 

industry. Consider the scenario for Malaysian Airlines System Bhd as they prepare to face the 

challenges by the ASEAN Open Skies policy which comes into force in 2015. Discuss the 

competitor analysis, emphasizing the determination of competitors’ objectives and strategies, 

strengths and weaknesses, and reactions and assess whether to attack or avoid particular 

competitors. Evaluate and explain what market strategies they should employ and why?
