Book Description
In the rapidly evolving airline industry, new technologies play an increasingly critical role in the delivery of real and perceived value in reducing costs, enhancing revenue, and improving customer service and customer safety/security. This book focuses at a senior executive level, examining the key forces affecting the airline business and their potential in terms of short and long-term strategies. The author discusses the role of emerging technology on the airline industry, defined very broadly and including computers, information, databases, aircraft, telecommunications, Internet, wireless, speech recognition, face recognition, etc. His argument is that technology should not only be an enabler of business strategy but crucially the driver of business strategy. The central theme is the vital interaction between technology and business strategy across a wide spectrum of functions - executives sharing their insights of what is needed in terms of revolutions in consumers, technologies, and productivities. What has held airlines back are not so much legacy systems but legacy mindsets, organizational structures and processes, as well as the intelligent selection, investments, and implementation of value-adding technologies. The book is the outcome of the author's own experience while working with a number of airlines and his participation in many discussions with practitioners in the airline and technology firms.

Book Description
In Cruising to Profits, a very thought-provoking book, co-authors and airline strategy and profitability experts Ricardo Pilon and Kofi Sonokpon share transformational strategies and tools they conclude would contribute to a fundamental shift in turning commercial aviation into a profitable business. Some radical, but necessarily drastic, views and methodologies are offered. The content is primarily based on their practical airline management and business consulting experience, but also combines results from the authors' academic involvement in airline economics with management science. The authors introduce a three-pillar visionary leadership framework BeProFit-able (BPF) that redefines the role of commercial aviation. They further discuss the human element in profitability and advance T.A.L.E.N.T. and Vision Load Factor (VLF) instruments. Lastly, Cruising to Profits offers valuable, actionable management tools so as to execute on the vision and include day-to-day operations towards commercial airline strategy formulation. BeProFit-able (BPF) WHAT visionary leadership framework and management methodology it would take to turn commercial aviation into a profitable business and HOW to apply a unique combination of business model expertise with modern convergent governance. Vision Load Factor (VLF) WHY most airlines are consistently running well below their true potential and HOW to measure and deliver on an airline's vision load factor in a profitable manner. T.A.L.E.N.T. WHY even the most talented airline employees must meet the T.A.L.E.N.T. criteria before they can positively contribute to profitability and HOW to attract and retain true talents. First in a series of eye-opener work, Cruising to Profits is a must-read for those at the heart of senior airline management and those who take a close interest in the business.

Book Description
Airlines are buffeted by fluctuating political and economic landscapes, ever-changing competition, technology developments, globalization, increasing deregulation and evolving customer requirements. As a consequence all sectors of the air transport industry are in a constant state of flux. The principle aim of this book is to review current trends in the airline industry and its related suppliers, thereby providing an insight into the forces that are changing its dynamics. The factors that are reshaping the structure of the industry are examined with a view to identifying the key issues whose impact will be critical in the future. The book features two very distinct sections. The first contains short contributions from industry executives at CEO/VP level from airlines, aircraft/engine manufacturers, safety and navigational provider organisations, who have set out their take of where the airline industry is heading. This commercial input sets the scene for the book and provides the bridge to the second section, which is composed of 18 chapters written by distinguished academic authors. Each chapter presents a valuable insight into a specific area of the air transport industry, including: airlines, airports, cargo, deregulation, the environment, navigation, strategy, information technology, security and tourism. The shared objective of the authors is to describe and explain the core competencies that are determining the current shape of the industry and to examine the forces that will change its direction going forward. The book is written in a management style and will appeal to all levels of personnel who work for airlines across the world. It is also written for airport authorities, aerospace manufacturers, regulatory and government transportation agencies, researchers and students of aviation management, transport studies, tourism and the wider air transport industry.
