What firms are best known for consulting airlines?

Would be curious in making an industry pivot to the airlines because I find its operational challenges exciting, but I don’t necessarily want to go actually work for an airline.

There was a study that linked autism and airline obsession. And I wonder if you think this is true.

Definitely true for me! Work in defence now. Love the planes😍

Either OW or Kearney helped SWA with their holiday disaster. I think it was OW. Bain has a practice focused on it as well.

McKinsey’s TLI practice is much larger than BCG’s or Bain’s. Mck serves more than 50% of the top 25 largest airlines in the world. Along with other players in the value chain (outsourced maintenance, air cargo, etc)

He’s retired now, but Alex Dicther was an industry powerhouse

Alex was also just a 10/10 human

TLI practice here is fantastic, but would warn that the airlines aren't usually hiring consultants for anything particularly sexy. If you're thinking you'll be designing LOPAs or making onboard service decisions, you'll be a little disappointed. It's a lot more logistics, digital transformation etc. work

OW

We do quite a lot with airlines.

LEK's airline practice really dropped off, but they're the reason for checked bag fees!

As if we need another reason to hate LEK
