3 Assessment objectives 4 Discuss the effects that three recent national or international events have had on the airline industry 5 Explain the roles of the main regulatory bodies 6 Investigate the types of employment opportunities available in the airline industry and outline the required qualifications and skills for two jobs Knowledge, understanding and skills Examples of recent events: terrorist attacks, eg 11 September 2001 (9/11); London bombings foot and mouth outbreak Gulf War Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak (China) emergence and growth of low-cost (budget) airlines growing environmental pressure Effects on the airline industry: falling passenger numbers (in some sectors) rising costs (security, fuel, insurance) lower profits/large losses cost cutting/staff redundancy airlines going bankrupt (Swiss Air, Sabena) fewer new aircraft orders impacts on aircraft manufacturers increased opportunities for the low-cost airlines Regulatory bodies: International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO); International Air Transport Association (IATA); UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA); UK Department for Transport (DfT) Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) Types of employment: flight crew cabin crew aircraft engineers route network planning reservations and telephone sales marketing and promotions operations ground handlers aircraft dispatchers aircraft cleaning catering aircraft fuelling passenger check-in Assessment This unit is centre assessed and externally moderated. In order to achieve this unit candidates must produce a portfolio of evidence showing that they have met all of the assessment objectives. Portfolios of work must be produced independently. They will need to be made available, together with witness statements and any other supporting documentation, to the OCR Visiting Moderator when required. OCR Level 3 Nationals in Travel and Tourism 3

4 Centres must confirm to OCR that the evidence produced by candidates is authentic. An OCR Centre Authentication Form is provided in the Centre Handbook and includes a declaration for assessors to sign. It is a requirement of the QCA Common Criteria for all Qualifications that proof of authentication is received. Guidance on assessment and evidence requirements The airline industry has an interesting history that has seen it develop into a sector with many companies offering different products. An appreciation of the organisation and operation of the UK airline industry and the effects of recent events is important for those working in travel and tourism. The aim of this unit is to advance the candidates understanding of the development of the airline industry and the different types of airlines. In addition, the unit covers the structure of the airline sector in the UK, the impact of time zones and the effect of recent national and international events. Finally, the unit investigates the employment opportunities within the airline industry. This unit has links with Unit 1: The travel and tourism industry, Unit 5: Current issues in travel and tourism, Unit 7: Hospitality for travel and tourism, Unit 17: The UK passenger transport sector, Unit 26: The UK airport sector, Unit 27: Working as airline cabin crew, and Unit 28: Health, safety and security for airports and airlines. Classroom learning could be supplemented by a visit to an airline and/or the use of visiting speakers from the industry, though neither is essential for the achievement of the assessment objectives. Candidates could also be encouraged to draw upon personal experience if they have flown recently and could research much information through airline websites, (see Resources section), and through watching current television programmes about the airline business. In addition, there is much written and visual material (video/dvd) available (see Resources section). Assessment Objective 1 should focus on the factors affecting the development of the airline industry. The production of a chart showing the key developments could incorporate comments highlighting changes that took place over periods of years as well as single events. For example, the growth of charter airlines throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Underpinning knowledge for Assessment Objectives 2 and 4 should be current and relevant. This is particularly important as the airline industry can change rapidly since the emergence of the lowcost airlines within Europe and the changing financial positions of many traditional carriers. The use of industry links for this information, such as the websites and journals listed in the resources section, is strongly recommended. Through Assessment Objective 3 candidates will acquire knowledge of, and skills in the use of time issues, terminology and codes essential to work within the airline sector. There are many resources available to provide underpinning knowledge for this assessment objective. Candidates may wish to pursue industry qualifications (eg IATA Airfares and Ticketing) as a result of this type of learning. The differing roles of the main regulatory bodies (Assessment Objective 5) should be explored through texts and website information. Comparison and overlap of roles could be discussed. Information could be presented as a table. When investigating employment opportunities candidates should be encouraged to select contrasting roles or different airline types. For example the qualifications and skills required for cabin crew within a low cost airline differ from those within a traditional airline. These differences should be highlighted by tutors. Candidates should be encouraged to share their employment information (perhaps through presentations or displays) to widen their knowledge of opportunities available. Candidates may provide portfolio evidence for all of the assessment objectives in this unit using a range of presentation techniques. This may include assessor testimony/witness statements logbooks, diaries, the use of video, audio and presentation software, posters/charts, written work. 4 OCR Level 3 Nationals in Travel and Tourism

5 Where video and/or audio evidence is provided this must be supported by assessor testimony/witness statements. Where candidates demonstrate competence, centres should record skills demonstrated on appropriate recording documentation. Signposting to Key Skills The unit contains opportunities for developing the Key Skill, and possibly for generating portfolio evidence, if teaching and learning is focused on that aim.

The list is neither prescriptive nor exhaustive, and candidates should be encouraged to gather information from a variety of sources. Some suggested resources are intended for Tutor use.
