Airline Management Group

Airline Management Group Ltd is a UK consultancy based in London that helps airlines and aviation firms change and grow. It was founded in 2015.

Its board and management team have held hands-on, C-level roles in complex airline and aviation projects around the world. The firm says its focus is on taking responsibility for putting plans into practice. It aims to bring shareholder return and long-term economic strength to its clients.

The work falls into three types. Start-up work runs from the first concept to an air operator certificate, and on to launching the airline. Turnaround work ranges from improving single disciplines to steering a relaunch. Growth work moves from strategy to tactics. The firm also builds solutions that give regional airlines, start-ups and high-cost airlines a lower unit cost. It compares this to the hotel trade, where the brand is protected while operations are run centrally.

Services come in three forms. Advisory covers single opportunities. Leadership and management support sets up the conditions for success. Implementation means the firm carries out the plan and takes responsibility for the results. The team works in a shared way: it reviews, assesses and analyses, then applies its experience to the problems that matter most.

The disciplines it lists run widely. They include ACMI, airports, alliances, cargo, charter, CAMO, fleet, flight operations, ground operations, leasing, maintenance, network, revenue management, safety management, scheduling and sustainability. They also cover digital work, customer experience, loyalty, pricing, finance and net zero planning.

The firm's track record covers legacy and low cost carriers, in both government and private ownership. The team has worked together for more than a decade with one method. It works with airlines, regulators, aircraft and engine makers, financial institutions and aviation authorities. The company is a corporate member of the Turnaround Management Association and the Association for Project Management. Its leaders are Fellows of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
