单选题Passage1When it comes to airline travel, perhaps nothing has revolutionized the passenger experience more than airline apps. Indeed, they' re becoming so ubiquitous that more than 50 percent of U.S travelers have at least one airline app installed on their smart device, according to travel industry research firm Phocuswright.Maybe that's because apps make travel easier, and often are more functional than a kiosk or even an airline's own website. Passengers report that they' re often more quickly informed of a flight cancellation or gate change than an airline employee. Not all airline apps are created equal, but in general you can use an app to check in for a flight, change seats, and request and pay for an upgrade. Road warriors in particular appreciate mobile boarding passes and the ability to track their flights. Many airlines now offer free onboard streaming entertainment via apps. The Delta Air Lines app even allows users to track their bags, from check-in to carousel, while the Air France app lets passengers download magazines and newspapers from the airline's library 30 hours prior to departure.But what if you are traveling extensively on more than one airline? Global airline alliances have their own apps that allow you to view flights for all member airlines and their affiliates, including code share flights. In general, you can find flight schedules for all member airlines and track member airline flights. Airport information is available, as are details about local weather at the destination. Where's the nearest airport lounge? The app will locate it for you.The Sky Team airline alliance app goes a step further by letting its SkyPriority members (Sky Team Elite Plus members and customers with first and business-class tickets) find out exactly which SkyPriority services-including priority check in and baggage drop off, as well as access to priority security lanes and boarding lanes-are available at individual airports.You' ll find that some alliance app features are available through multiple channels of communication. For example, Sky Team members have formed their own online community by sharing traveler tricks and airport tips accessible through a variety of channels, including the app, Sky Team's website, Facebook page and a dedicated tips site. Sky Team's YouTube page features travel tips from regional celebrities.Just as airlines seem to have conquered social media, another method of communicating with travelers has just arrived. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the first carrier to sign up for Facebook's Messenger chat app. KLM flyers can automatically receive itineraries, flight updates, check-in notifications, boarding passes and rebook flights and communicate with customer service, all from Facebook Messenger. Messenger for Business was launched so that customers-in this case, passengers-can transact business over the messaging app in a single communication thread. Roughly 80 percent of passengers on planes traveling within the U.S. have the Messenger app installed on their smartphones, according to Facebook.Clearly, mobile apps and social media have transformed our digital lives. Airlines favor apps and other technologies because they get customers out of airport lines and off phone lines. Through their smart devices, travelers now have untethered access to travel information. A few quick taps can supply individuals with information never dreamed possible even a decade ago. And with more people using smartphones as their primary computing device, and as more people own cellphones globally, people expect technology-driven methods of communication and convenience to accelerate. Whether you' re high-tech or not, you must admit that having immediate access to the information you need sure beats getting a busy signal on a toll-free phone line.Which word below best describes the author's stance？ABiased.BNeutral.CCritical.DRadical.

3 Airtite was set up in 2000 as a low cost airline operating from a number of regional airports in Europe. Using theseless popular airports was a much cheaper alternative to the major city airports and supported Airtite’s low cost service,modelled on existing low cost competitors. These providers had effectively transformed air travel in Europe and, in sodoing, contributed to an unparalleled expansion in airline travel by both business and leisure passengers. Airtite usedone type of aircraft, tightly controlled staffing levels and costs, relied entirely on online bookings and achieved highlevels of capacity utilisation and punctuality. Its route network had grown each year and included new routes to someof the 15 countries that had joined the EU in 2004. Airtite’s founder and Chief Executive, John Sykes, was anaggressive businessman ever willing to challenge governments and competitors wherever they impeded his airline andlooking to generate positive publicity whenever possible.John is now looking to develop a strategy which will secure Airtite’s growth and development over the next 10 years.He can see a number of environmental trends emerging which could significantly affect the success or otherwise ofany developed strategy. 2006 had seen fuel costs continue to rise reflecting the continuing uncertainty over globalfuel supplies. Fuel costs currently account for 25% of Airtite’s operating costs. Conversely, the improving efficiency ofaircraft engines and the next generation of larger aircraft are increasing the operating efficiency of newer aircraft andreducing harmful emissions. Concern with fuel also extends to pollution effects on global warming and climatechange. Co-ordinated global action on aircraft emissions cannot be ruled out, either in the form. of higher taxes onpollution or limits on the growth in air travel. On the positive side European governments are anxious to continue tosupport increased competition in air travel and to encourage low cost operators competing against the over-staffedand loss-making national flag carriers.The signals for future passenger demand are also confused. Much of the increased demand for low cost air travel todate has come from increased leisure travel by families and retired people. However families are predicted to becomesmaller and the population increasingly aged. In addition there are concerns over the ability of countries to supportthe increasing number of one-parent families with limited incomes and an ageing population dependent on statepensions. There is a distinct possibility of the retirement age being increased and governments demanding a higherlevel of personal contribution towards an individual’s retirement pension. Such a change will have a significant impacton an individual’s disposable income and with people working longer reduce the numbers able to enjoy leisure travel.Finally, air travel will continue to reflect global economic activity and associated economic booms and slumps togetherwith global political instability in the shape of wars, terrorism and natural disasters.John is uncertain as to how to take account of these conflicting trends in the development of Airtite’s 10-year strategyand has asked for your advice.Required:(a) Using models where appropriate, provide John with an environmental analysis of the conditions affecting thelow cost air travel industry.
