IATA Air Transport Economics aviation training course

IATA’s Air Transport Economics course will equip you with the know-how of the key economic concepts and how they apply to aviation. You will learn how economic scarcity influences airline decision-making. The course will define key performance indicators (KPIs) in aviation and give an up-to-date overview on major aviation trends, economic developments and the industry outlook. You will learn about the role that airlines play in critical macro-economic activities such as job creation, social mobility and economic development. The course will outline the rationale of how and why airlines cooperate and compete and contextualize the roles of authorities and the application of regulatory economic frameworks to safeguard against anti-competitive activities to ensure long-term economic development.

The course was very useful and provided lots of substantial and in-depth knowledge. The instructor shared very valuable experiences with us, and I have personally gained an enormous amount of knowledge in Air Transportation Economics that will be applied to my current and future duties. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone working in, or interested in the field of air transportation.

Air Transportation Economics was one of the best courses we have ever attended. The training center, materials and facilitation were excellent. It was very inspirational, bringing lots of ideas, with both theory and some exercises. We had the opportunity to learn from the instructors' experiences and from the other participants, which contributed to interesting and focused discussions.
