Explanation of Solution

It is an example of producer-producer rivalry. In an airline industry, there are various operators who attract customers by price and non-price competitions. Customers usually travel in those airlines which either give big discounts or are cheaper than others.

For example, when an airline gives an offer to its customer to carry two bags without extra charge, it is considered as a non-price competition strategy. Customers get attracted towards such an airline and save on their flying cost. Since this offer is aimed at wooing the customers away from the competitors, it is an example of producer-producer rivalry.
