Airline Operations in Chinese Mainland (LIVE virtual classroom)

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

About the course

5-day (15 hours) LIVE virtual classroom course

Through the insightful instruction of highly experienced IATA and operational airline staff you will gain an understanding of the Chinese mainland* operational infrastructure in order to recognize and develop more effective procedures within your own organizations. You will also get first-hand knowledge of the tools and support functions available to ensure airline operations are as efficient as possible. Currently, foreign airlines operating in the Chinese mainland, including those from Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and Chinese Taipei, face some challenges which often result in low operational efficiency. The difficulties are mainly focused on a lack of efficient flight planning, handling abnormal situations, and an overall unfamiliarity with the local operational procedures, especially the pre-flight application and approval process. These difficulties are made worse by the limited experience of the airline staff, as well as their level of knowledge and skills.
