Airline Management
MIT OpenCourseWare's graduate-level course examines how airlines make economic and operational decisions. It covers demand modeling, pricing, cost structures, and supply economics as applied to airline markets and networks, then moves into industry practice for fleet planning, route network design, scheduling, and revenue management. Materials include lecture notes, readings, and assignments drawn from MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics curriculum, with case-based discussion of how carriers build decision support tools around these models. The course suits students interested in transportation economics or operations research applied to a real industry, and it is free to audit through MIT OpenCourseWare with no certificate offered.
