Beyond Airline Disruptions

Despite airlines' tremendous efforts to streamline their operations in order to minimise controllable costs and improve flight punctuality, system inefficiencies are continuously on the increase. They inevitably lead to a higher number of operational disruptions, and consequently unforeseen losses.
'Beyond Airline Disruptions' taps into this area by taking a wider, strategic perspective. By focusing on prevention rather than operational fire-fighting, and laying out the hidden aspects of operational disruptions, the book reveals the significant unexploited potential for cost savings and improvements in on-time performance. It explains for the first time what operational disruptions really are, describes their costs, tangible and intangible causes, and supports the creation of more dynamic strategies for decreasing system inefficiencies and minimising the risks of operational disruptions.
