Airline Management and the Role of Sustainability as a Tool for Recovery in a Post-COVID Era

Abstract

After the great knock, aviation industry faced the past year, the growth levels returned to 1991s, showing a slow and painful recovery ahead. Hundreds of thousands of employees are redundant, and many companies shut down, unable to survive throughout the past year. The necessity is for the remained ones to stay viable, especially when signs of recovery will start showing after 2024. The new circumstances require an organizational change that will support innovation. Radical interventions are necessary for the aviation industry to remain resilient and sustainable. Corporate sustainability could be the means to achieve that goal, embracing innovation in the organizational structure of aviation. This paper considers the necessary components that must be addressed in airline companies to remain resilient and sustainable in a post-COVID era, which might last for longer than expected.
