Short run is the period where a fixed factor of production remains constant. The output or service can go high in small measures only. Entrepreneur cannot alter the fixed factors of production to his advantage. Investment and manpower cannot get increase in short period of time. Both business conditions and environment hamper business man to aim for greater production or service level. The average cost will be at competitive level with small output and given set of production factors. Hence any decision a business man takes in the short run will give only small increase in output or service at a given price. Airline business can also face similar situation where it cannot increase the service in short run. The tendency of the airline business in the short run is not to disturb the current level price as it can give only limited service without any expansion. Very often, in the short run, the business can operate only in short routes and destinations. It cannot increase the fleet of operations and cannot fly to longer destinations.

Long run decision and long run period denotes the situation where a business man can conveniently alter the factors of production to his advantage. Capital budgeting decisions are possible only in the long run. Airline business firm can increase the fleet of operation and travel destinations only in the long run. Passengers can get lot of benefit in the long run period. Price concessions and cost reduction will be possible in the long run. Passenger traffic and passenger amenities will be possible only in long run period.  Innovation and novelty will be the unique feature in the long run situation. Sustainable development in the airline business is possible with the support of government policy. Government can also help both private and state airliners in the subsidies and financial assistance. It is hypothesized that airlines charge passenger fees direct to their customers. Protection of competition is essential to secure sustainable development.
