About This Course
This module explains the structure of aviation businesses and the way in which transactions are carried out. You will gain an insight into aircraft leasing, aviation insurance and the increasing importance of intellectual property in commercial aviation. We will examine the various business structures and workplace arrangements that can be found in aviation across various jurisdictions. Using case studies this course will cover the development and nature of airline operations and study the way in which they are structured and regulated along with the legal responsibilities of those who work within the airline sector. Importantly, we also look at some of the other business aspects of aviation, including ticketing, code-sharing and strategic alliances and finally the international structure of air traffic management, how flights and airspace are classified and how air traffic controllers keep the airways safe.
