In recent years the concept of coopetition becomes more and more popular in both economy and literature. The growing interest in coopetition strategies, their characteristics and adaptation stems from the fact that it may be perceived as a significant factor for leveraging effectiveness and performance of modern organizations. Drawn from existing literature this paper attempts to present the character of coopetition inside the aviation supply chain. By identifying different levels, scopes and fields of both cooperation and competition four types of coopetition were identified. In the light of the obtained results particular members of considered supply chain may be characterized by: national coopetition, global coopetition, hybrid coopetition and multidimensional coopetition. The identified types of coopetition are varied in terms of: a) the market scope of coopetition, b) types organizations engaged (i.e. subsidiaries / parent organizations), c) stages of supply chain maintaining coopetitive relationships, and d) complexity and directedness of coopetition.(original abstract)
