Course 1: Air Transport Economics & Business

The air transport industry is changing rapidly. Therefore, it is important to have economic instruments at hand that give you an insight into the strategic decisions of the key industry actors. Each strategic move of an individual airline has immediate and substantial consequences for the rest of the air transport chain and impacts the competitive relations within the industry.

This course on Air Transport Economics & Business is developed to provide a sound knowledge and understanding of key economic and regulatory issues affecting the air transport industry. The course includes guest lectures from high-level industry professionals as well as renowned academics in the field of air transport economics. Furthermore, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their practical knowledge through a number of excursions (e.g. DHL, Brussels Airlines, Eurocontrol).

Course 2: Airport Management

In the air transport chain, airports are crucial transfer points for both passengers and cargo. This course will provide participants with insights into the key issues of airport management. Different elements influencing the demand, supply, equilibrium, and competitiveness of airports will be discussed. Furthermore, the role of different actors in the airport management process will be addressed. This course includes guest lectures from experienced industry professionals as well as well-known professors in the field of airport management. Participants will also have the opportunity to deepen their practical knowledge through a number of excursions.

Course 3: Air Transport Pricing Strategies

The air transport industry is often seen as a laboratory for the design and implementation of new pricing mechanisms. This course zooms in on pricing as a key strategic tool in air transport and considers in detail the various aspects of its theoretical underpinning. Both traditional and innovative pricing systems will be discussed in relation to spill rates, rate reduction, rate restrictions, dynamic slot allocation, multiple discount classes, and route assignment. The scope of this course goes beyond airlines to the pricing strategies of other players in the air transport industry.
