Module Description

Candidates will be taught to appreciate the critical role of choice of business models in the function of achieving the best possible market fit. At face value the choice is apparent between three distinct airline business models resulting from deregulation and liberalisation in the major aviation markets. Candidates will be able to recognize the significant characteristics of each and thereafter how to exploit respective strengths and opportunities. The module will, moreover, examine the air transport industry on the premise that there is now a continuum of different business models at play rather than a clear categorization. Case studies will place different role model airlines within a spectrum of different business models. Differing environmental impacts of alternative airline business models will be highlighted in the context of the ‘flight shaming’ movement
