Need help in writing my thesis about Survival in the Airline Industry

Hello folks,I am writing my final thesis for BBA program. I habe choosen my favourite Research about "How can European Airline survive in the Air Transport". This focus on Crisis Management and Airline Management. This also refers to many bankcruptcy of Airline in the US, in Europe and in Asia. However I will focus only in Europe. I would need past papers or maybe a source where I could find more info. IATA wants you to pay for info. Also great ideas are welcomed. I think that this is a really interesing research. We know or think that Airline have some sort of crisi plan but always fail to implement them. Also This is connected to the Sept. 11th attach, travel fear, SARS, economic downturn.Thanks for all you great sharing.Gerrit
