After my first experience traveling, I was inquisitive about what people’s perception is about traveling during COVID-19 times. Therefore, I decided to generate a COVID Travel Survey and distribute it to people from different nationalities. My main objective was to understand if the perception was similar or had significant variations depending on the participants’ regions.…
Since the beginning of the Coronacrisis, airlines are burning cash every day. And the longer the pandemic takes, the airlines are getting more creative when it comes to revenue sources. Here are six of the craziest ideas! Unprecedented times require unorthodox ideas. And there has never been in a time in aviation history when airlines…
The COVID-19 pandemic has a devastating effect on the global air industry. While it became evident that airlines will suffer a long-lasting impact, more and more airlines announced job cuts and layoffs as a necessary response to the crisis. With passenger numbers on an all-time low, parked aircraft, and travel restrictions, airlines are undergoing the…
Although Corona is the single dominating topic in the aviation world at the moment, the aspect of sustainability hasn’t vanished. On the contrary, eco friendly operations will be critical for every airline in the next decades. And it was good to see that many airlines —at least before Corona— have started to take the topic…
I know, the title of this blog post is a bold statement. It probably sounds kind of weird in the beginning. Moreover, I guess the first thing that comes to your mind is something like: What the heck has Facebook to do with a business intelligence (BI) dashboard? Of course, we are talking about two…
I genuinely believe that we have to change the way we discuss enterprise content management. We have to move from purely content-based to a “getting-the-attention” discussion. Let me explain that step-by-step. When talking to colleagues from companies —regardless of their business department, role, and position— everyone agrees on the fact that the technological world is…
If you ask people at airlines how they use KPIs, I’m convinced that 95% will provide the same answer. We use them to create reports. Accordingly, airlines create a sheer endless number of reports every single day. There’s an operations report for the head of operations and a ground performance report for the head of…
Today my thoughts emerged from a recent experience I had during my first trip after the COVID-19 lockdown. Last week during my first rail travel, I wondered why are the safety requirements much stricter for air travel than for rail/ground travel. During my journey, I was a bit surprised by how other passengers arrived on…

After almost two months of lockdown, you’ve probably read that statement a dozen times “The world after COVID-19 won’t be the same,” and the world we knew is perhaps never going to return. Of course, no one knows how exactly the post-COVID world will be. However, when looking at the airline business, there are several…
Very unusual blog post today, but I really wanted to share that idea and concept with you. Every crisis holds the potential for new ideas, changes, and disruptions. You may have listened to my latest podcast where I, as an example, discuss the impact of COVID-19 on airline operations, KPIs, and so on. Bound to…
Many airlines lately reported that Corona massively decreases the value of their KPI dashboard. Since this is isn’t surprising for me, I want to do two things today. First, I am going to share some reasons why Corona impacts your airline dashboard. And second, I’ll provide a concept of how to react. Corona Challenged Us…
I’m genuinely convinced that airlines need new KPI dashboard solutions. And I’m pretty sure that the title of this blog post may confuse you. Am I not the one who runs a company that develops airline dashboards? Am I not the one who continuously pushes the importance of real-time dashboards and KPIs? Absolutely correct. It’s…
I genuinely believe that we have to change the way we discuss airline operation information and KPIs. We have to move from purely content-based to a “getting-the-attention” discussion. Let me explain that step-by-step. When talking to colleagues from airlines —regardless of their business department, role, and position— everyone agrees on the fact that the technological…
Airline operations and Apple seem not to have very much in common — at first sight. Especially, when it comes to key performance indicator (KPI). However, I think that airline executives can gain a lot from thinking like Apple. Let’s check out why: With the iPhone Apple has hugely disrupted the mobile market. Moreover, with…
Plenty has been written regarding organisation’s chances to drive innovation. And many studies have been conducted, which analyze how innovative processes can be initiated. However, from experience and when working with clients, I observe very often that it’s all about tools and methods. Which IT tools can we use to increase innovation? Shall we go…
