4-day (12 hours) LIVE virtual classroom course

In this course, you will learn how to evaluate markets and assess their readiness and capacity for the entry of a new LCC, how to manage route seasonality, pricing, distribution models and regional specificities. Over 3 days you will turn analytical skills and strategic thinking into management action while learning about the genetic code of a successful Low-Cost Carrier. You will dive deep into market scenarios, management theory and airline business models that form the basis of a typical Low-Cost Carrier start-up and examine why LCCs are not always successful and how failures happened.
