This study was conducted to explore mergers and acquisitions in the aviation industry and the corresponding impact on supply chains. The problem statement: Merger and Acquisitions are a common theme in the airline industry. However, due to a lack of proper planning and integration of the supply chain process during the negotiation stage, supply chains involving the two companies are negatively affected. It is therefore important to find ways through which supply chain processes are integrated to ensure a smooth transition period after the merger or acquisition. The objective of the study: To determine the impact of mergers and acquisitions on supply chains in the aviation industry. The study follows a qualitative nature with an analysis of literature and a case study of a merger. The results indicate that there is a challenge in the supply chain after the consolidation of two companies. The study recommends that Continuous supply chain integration monitoring is required to enable timely feedback, allowing corrective measures to be performed and the process to be modified to follow the intended route. This will allow the managers at these companies to evaluate all their processes, and in turn, they will be able to determine areas that need improvement.
