Question: The EU has made changes in airline regulation that dramatically affect major European carriers such as British International Air ( BIA ) , KLM ,

The EU has made changes in airline regulation that dramatically affect major European carriers such as British International Air(BIA), KLM, Air France, Alitalia, and Swiss International Air. With ambitious expansion plans, BIA has decided it needs a second service hub on the continent, to complement its large Heathrow(London) repair facility. The location selection is critical, and with the potential for4,000 new skilled blue-collar jobs on the line, virtually every city in Western Europe is actively bidding for BIA's business.
After initial investigations by Holmes Miller, head of the Operations Department, BIA has narrowed the list to 9 cities. Each is then rated on 12 factors, as shown in the table below.
