Dr. Philipp Goedeking

Inhalt

Course description:

The course will focus on up-to-date airline strategies and address some of the strategic challenges of airports, manufacturers, and regulators. It will outline the regulatory framework of global aviation, including current aspects of controversy like emissions trading, national ownership and control, and state aid. The drivers of airline economics such as asset financing, asset utilization, HR, and relevant macroeconomics (i.e. fuel price) will be reviewed, as well as the specific complexities of airline controlling. Key airline functions such as pricing, revenue management, network planning, sales and distribution, flight operations, and some engineering aspects of the aviation system will be explained. The fundamental mechanisms of airline competition will be described. Understanding these aspects first will allow an in-depth analysis of typical airline strategies such as “low cost,” “regional,” “global multi-hub,” or others. The course will emphasize quantitative analysis whenever relevant.

Syllabus:

Airline regulation: IATA, ICAO, Chicago Convention, national ownership & effective control, emissions trading | Airline functions: Network management, pricing, revenue management, flight operations, MRO | Airline strategy: LCC, network carrier, hybrid carrier, regional airline |IT: Global Distribution Systems (GDS), Central Reservation Systems (CRS), aircraft rotations, crew management.
