Aviation

Executives throughout the industry are being challenged to maintain profitability in the face of escalating costs and increasing competition

Consolidation, risk sharing, and low oil prices have taken some of the pressure off airlines. But to secure long-term profitability, airlines and suppliers must focus on innovation, the adoption of new technologies to reduce costs, and the delivery of world-class service across a range of products.

For airports and infrastructure operators, increasing investment from private equity firms necessitates the optimization of their organizations, drawing on new consumer technology and business strategies to provide reliable returns.

Canada

With passenger volumes increasing, Canadian aviation needs a range of executive talent to sustain customer growth and raise Canada’s profile as an international hub.

To respond to ongoing changes to aviation regulations and policies, airline companies need versatile people with experience in governance, logistics, operations and marketing, particularly at the global level. At the same time, airports are being strained to maintain and improve both primary infrastructure and surrounding access points, as well as airport security. There’s a clear requirement, at both levels, for people who understand customer service and the customer experience, as well as the technology to deliver in both spheres.
