Training Programs
Airlines use network planning, also known as origin and destination (O&D) planning, to make and implement strategic decisions based on the size and value of traffic flows within their networks. Optimal network planning can lead to increased market share and decreased risk when launching new services. Carriers that make good use of network planning levers can gain market share at the expense of their less sophisticated competitors.
This course explains the theory of effective airline network planning and provides "hands-on" techniques to solve network planning problems using Lufthansa Systems state of the art network planning tool NetLine/Plan™. The approach used is based on managing passenger origin and destination. The course covers network types, analysis of the competition, strengths and weaknesses of hubs, network performance analysis, management control systems for network managers, challenges of implementing network planning, and planning time horizons.
