Introduction
Dyeus Airlines, an international airline, was founded in 2013. Dyeus Airlines is facing challenging competition from other, larger airlines around the world. In the hopes of competing with the various airline companies, Dyeus has decided to pilot a system where the airline waives all excess luggage fees. Most airlines charge a fee for excess baggage, as well as overweight luggage, and it will be the strategy of Dyeus Airlines to waive the first two pieces of luggage from all additional fees. Due to weight restrictions of the Federal Aviation Administration, any bag over the weight of 50 pounds will be subject to a $50 fee for special handling guidelines.
