This course provides an insight into the complex and interwoven nature of the airline business and gives a picture of the prime drivers, which differentiate airlines. The course explores the structure of the aviation industry, formation of airline strategies and the range of airline business models, and introduces concepts core to airline corporate management including airline economics, airline planning and finance, schedule planning, fleet planning, forecasting, marketing, and commercial agreements and government affairs.

Through a combination of case-based learning, readings, practical checkpoint exercises, and assessments, the course will expose students to the various stages of planning that underpin airline management. Students will also have the opportunity to test their understanding and skills throughout the course, and develop skills transferrable to their own careers in the aviation industry.
