Please read the article "Little Airlines, Big Ideas" posted in the Doc Sharing of the course online shell and answer the following questions:
1) Describe two new airline business model concepts that are discussed in this article (excluding Norwegian).
2) Do a little research and discuss two airlines (an airline for each concept) that are embracing these concepts. Give basic details of the airline, such as location, bases, destinations, equipment, etc.
3) Compare and contrast the two business models that you discussed. Which one do you think will be more successful? Why?
4) Discuss the global impact of these airlines? How will there innovative business ideas impact the overall global industry?
Although I am providing an article for your reference, please include an additional link.

Space Tourism - Due Tuesday, November 11th at 8:00AM
In light of the recent accident (Virgin Galactic SpaceShip Two), I would like you to address the topic of space tourism this week.
1) In a short paragraph describe the details of the accident.
2) Give a brief history about space tourism and specifically, Virgin Galactic.
3) Are there any regulations, FAA or ICAO, that specifically address space tourism and/or space flight in general?
3) Where do you see space tourism headed and in what time frame? I.e., do you think it will be accessible to the general public, not unlike the commercial airline industry?
4) What are the qualifications to work in the space tourism industry - either from the pilot or the management perspective? This may require some research, perhaps even making a phone call.
