The airline industry is one of the most fascinating in the world, with roots going back to the earliest years of the 20th century. Not long after the Wright brothers flew successfully for the first time in 1903, interest in aviation for military and commercial purposes began. In the late teens, the United States government began offering potentially lucrative airmail contracts to start-up air carriers and, despite some rough patches along the way, by the 1930s, the industry was beginning to look like the companies we see today; The industry, both in the United States and abroad, continued...

The book presents both strategic and operational dimensions of procurement management. Supplier management is explained intelligently and practically as a multi-departmental corporate process, and the process of supplier management is presented in precise detail. The example of the AUDI AG's system is used to show how such a concept can be implemented. The 3^rd edition has been expanded with a chapter on front-loading.

In any overall approach public transport is a crucial component. Designing Mobility and Transport Services shows how these issues can be addressed and resolved.

The development of an inclusive, validated passenger experience...

It focuses on issues in Africa, the least developed of these markets but one that is of increasing interest to the aviation community and those, such as the World Bank, that have an interest in economic and social development.

Africa is currently the smallest of the 'regional' aviation markets but one that Boeing and others expect to expand over the medium term. Developments on the continent that require robust air transport include...

What can you do if your travel arrangements turn out different from what your travel agent or tour operator told you; if your luggage got lost or damaged or...
