In the first part of the seminar, Virgin Atlantic will provide an overview of the Aviation industry from an industry point of view.

Virgin Atlantic will show you how an airline company actually works by sharing their organizational structure, routes and network, aircrafts and fleets, and commercial strategies.

What does an airline consider when operating a route? Apart from passenger flights, what other services does an airline offer? How does an airline maintain their competitiveness? Apart from pilots, cabin crew and ground staff, what other positions do airlines require?
