Question 1: What drives the basic economies of the airline industry? The refining industry?

The revenue side of the airline industry is driven by the amount of passengers an airline can carry per flight. A common index is the percentage of filled seats: if it is low on a flight, that flight may be unprofitable. Fuel costs may represent 30 to 50% of total operating costs in the airline industry (Grassbaugh, 2013). For the refining industry, the cost of crude oil is the major driver (Grassbaugh, 2013).

The question “why countries that do not have that much natural resources to boast of often appear more progressive and financially stable than countries that are staggeringly abundant in natural resources?” has been common among citizens of both resource-rich and non-resource-rich countries for a very long time. It is actually logical to think that a country rich in natural resources, especially the point-source and non-renewable ones such as oil, diamonds, and other ores, would outperform those that are less blessed because they already have an edge to begin with.
