Strategic Planning for Airlines
The airline environment sees permanent changes and dependencies, many of which are hardly to be influenced. But they can be foreseen and strategies can be developed in time to conquer them and lead the airline safely through the stormy sea. We help you assessing your present approaches and develop with you new ways of approach to markets and problems as may be seen to fit.

Process Assessment
Functional structures of the airline must always again be tested against the end-to-end processes from market to customer. While operational problems face solution in the airline business regulations of governments and trade association, the administration becomes more and more a burden. The administrational processes are often blamed for inefficiency, high manpower resource consumption, late reporting, inaccuracy. We know and understand the underlying processes and can assess your situation fast and efficient and can come up with cost efficient proposals how to change the situation and improve your profit and loss statement.

Organization of the Airline
Airline organization is three-fold: Structure, Processes and Systems. These three are interdependent. While functional structures were state of the art in old days, the industry changes its view more and more to a process efficiency development, so that not single functions and expertise, but the key process rules the structural organization: Structure follows process. We help you to identify the shortcomes and together with you work out new, modern and cost efficient ways of behavior.

Airline Startup Planning
Emerging markets make it necessary from time to time to establish a new airline.

Restructuring of airlines
After some time of operation, routine creates sluggy behavior and changes in the market and in the environment are no longer understood as challenges that permanently require invention. Often appropriate information is not available in time or even at all. Decisions are made on the basis of the existing and not fully understood shortfalls and information is replaced by simple guts feelings. We analyze your shortfalls and show you ways out of the situation by restructuring processes and organization to work more effective, more efficient, and simpler than before.

Enterprise Resource Planning
The entire administration is often governed heavily by the financial processes. Paperwork and governmental regulations cripple the sense for innovation. This is where ERP comes in. An ERP system pictures end-to-end processes of the airline and aims at real time registering of business events. This results in a high amount of automation of administrational work and is a backbone of a flexible future oriented finance and management system, covering all aspects of management needs from planning over accounting to controlling. We help you to make the right decisions for the right system (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft), for right implementation vendors, the right budgets for such project, and we accompany the implementation process with our knowledge of airline process landscapes covering your specific needs.

Selection of IT systems
Airlines operate a lot of systems which are proprietary and work as stand-alone systems, such like revenue accounting in scheduled airlines, planning systems, operational systems, MRO systems and others. These systems cannot easily be replaced and in restructuring processes and ERP implementations must be kept going and interfaced to the new organisation and system setup.
