The airline industry is in a state of radical restructuring as its markets and key stakeholders (customers, airline labour and management groups, governments, and the financial community) adjust to the new aviation realities.

Burdened by past decisions, they are forced to fight with one hand tied behind their back to »convert volume to value», to survive and prosper.
