Many employees in the aviation industry like the current 'forced leave' at the beginning. However, this is not a permanently sustainable and satisfactory situation for them. Within the aviation industry, there is a high degree of employee identification with the respective products (essentially this means the aircraft) and the associated services. In many cases, the monetary remuneration of employees in this industry plays a subordinate role. The main motivators include being allowed to work in a highly technological and complex environment (which is not accessible to the average person), representing the airline and its respective image, flexibility in scheduling - and last but not least the

Original article from 25.05.2020: Flying on demand A new and particularly favorable way of traveling for passengers is offered by "flying on demand". With this concept, certain flights only arise when the scheduled aircraft are filled to capacity. The flights can be offered to passengers at above-average prices because the planes are always fully utilized in this scenario. This concept requires a certain degree of flexibility on the part of passengers in the event of flight cancellation or rescheduling in the event of under-occupancy, but the low price means that this is accepted by customers. Background information on this idea: Innovative airlines have long since recognized that they can

Original post from 25.05.2020: Educational and sightseeing flights Interested industries and companies can become active as sponsors for educational and sightseeing flights for e.g. school and study classes. For these flights, only the window seats will be occupied to guarantee each participant an optimal view of the outside world. The flights themselves can be over specific regions worth seeing (e.g. the Alps or coastal regions) and can be accompanied by appropriate audio commentary. Industrial sponsors can promote their industry during the flights by means of infotainment on the audio and video track. These types of flights are also available without sponsorship as a general offer for groups and individuals with appropriate

In this critical period, only a few companies allow themselves to deviate from the originally planned course they outlined before the crisis, letting go of the 'old familiar' or even taking the plunge. Those companies that do so will succeed beyond measure. Right now is an optimal time for all companies to clean up, sort out and restructure their entire portfolio. This has not been possible in the normally tightly timed operating schedule and is long overdue for many airlines. Most airlines have understood this and are already positioning themselves optimally according to their respective level of knowledge in order to

We would be very surprised if Deutsche Lufthansa - irrespective of the prospect of government funding - has not yet set up a special task force to lead the company out of the crisis in the best possible way. Its main task would be to work out appropriate solutions and test them for their applicability. Ad-hoc prototyping would enable the solutions to be put into immediate use, thereby achieving the above-mentioned goals for a gradual increase in flight operations. The tasks and scope of such a task force would not be fully known within the Group, partly for reasons of confidentiality. This

The airlines are currently trying to avert the greatest possible damage and are struggling behind the scenes to find solutions. The public is getting virtually no information about the extensive measures that are going on in the background. This is also a good thing, as the companies can present themselves in a new guise - which is hopefully more reality than appearance - after the crisis. Efforts are being made to find solutions that are in harmony with society and do not have a detrimental effect on other areas of society. Possible innovations by the airlines could include a better and clearer price structure for the products on offer, a greater sense of security for passengers, and

The airlines are increasingly the focus of public interest in the context of the crisis. Many passengers can't wait for flight operations to return to normal as quickly as possible so they can go about their usual business. Not to be forgotten are the many people who, after the ongoing quarantine, are longing for a relaxing vacation on the beach and in freedom. However, this euphoria is overshadowed by the fact that, from the public's point of view, air travel has been instrumental in spreading the virus worldwide and may continue to be so in the future. The current prevailing opinion of health experts further underscores this picture. This circumstance is at

The current crisis and the associated requirements are forcing the airlines to develop innovative solutions in a timely manner, which under normal circumstances would probably have lain dormant in the companies' drawers for years to come. As perplexing as it may sound at first glance in the current situation, the spectrum of new possibilities (solutions) is very broad and accessible to any competitor in the global market who sees the crisis as an opportunity.

There is a depressed mood among airlines worldwide. There has never been anything like this before in this industry and on this scale. The tension is extremely high, as the existence of many companies is at stake. In addition, the industry is currently lacking ideas to get it out of the dilemma of the current situation. The overall picture leaves the observer with a bitter aftertaste regarding the current and future development prospects of the aviation industry, which is otherwise spoiled by growth. Nonetheless, the aviation industry - and especially its employees - are fully behind their current projects (which are essentially

Naturally, the airlines are already working at full speed to restore a gradual increase in flight operations. To this end, the current technologies and measures known from medical technology must be configured accordingly and put into use. Basically, these include: Disinfection of aircraft cabins and ground infrastructure Segregation of aircraft cabin areas as well as waiting areas at airports (in the simplest case, this can be realized with face masks for all involved) Avoiding crowds along the entire travel process In this context, the airlines are also taking the opportunity to supplement their solution finding and implementation accordingly through public innovation. This can be promising in that these solutions can lead to high

When looking at the current news concerning the airlines, it becomes apparent that the aim is to protect especially the national carriers (airlines) by means of state funds or by further state participation.
