This programme will bring you a thorough understanding of the factors affecting airline success and profitability. You will learn to think strategically about the business and how to turn key strategies into successful operating plans. You will also better understand the role of other departments and how to integrate and plan across departmental boundaries to achieve desired goals and planned results.

Throughout the course, the above mentioned topics are applied to the Air Mercury™ case study. Working in teams, participants make strategic, marketing, planning and operational decisions to achieve a successful turnaround of the fictitious Airline Air Mercury™.

The computer simulation enables participants to quickly test and evaluate their decisions and to make multiple revisions. The model provides a full set of route profitability statements and full financial results for each computer run.

A presentation by each team to the Board of Directors of Air Mercury™, detailing their new Corporate Business Plan for the Airline, concludes the course.
