Aviation

Transportation of people and goods has come a long way. And so has Roland Berger's expertise in this area. From our company's beginnings, we have been involved in shaping and advancing the aviation industry.

In brief

The aviation industry is undergoing dramatic changes. Ongoing deregulation, privatization, consolidation in alliances, and M&A present both opportunities and challenges to established and emerging players. Roland Berger is at the forefront of these groundbreaking changes. We offer a broad range of consulting solutions including new strategies for growth and methods for optimizing business performance.

Growing competition provides new opportunities, but product differentiation is becoming increasingly difficult. Success in the market is often defined by having both the most efficient and effective strategy for sales and distribution. Do you need innovative approaches? We have the required knowledge in areas such as alliances and partnerships, service strategy, pricing and revenue management, sales planning and controlling, and distribution channel management. This has enabled us to achieve outstanding success for our clients worldwide.

Sample projects

We have worked on leading-edge issues in the aviation industry for both airlines and airports:

  • Sector consolidation
    – Mergers & acquisitions
    – Post-merger integration
    – Alliance/partnerships
    – Partnering & joint ventures
  • Network strategies
  • Low-cost concepts
  • Distributed organization
  • Asset management
  • Maintenance optimization
  • Pricing
  • Sales optimization
  • Airport/airline interfaces

Roland Berger has an impressive track record of more than 35 years in aviation, combined with functional and issue-driven experience. This makes us the intelligent choice to work with you to achieve successful change.
