Airlines find themselves in difficulties for different reasons. Some see it coming, but often even promising and fast growing airlines suddenly realise markets changed, or costs spun out of control.

Whatever the reason your airline is in trouble, we help you take action early enough to keep as many options open as possible.

The most common error in a restructuring is taking too much time to conduct a lengthy diagnosis. When faced with a crisis, it is important to take action quickly to stabilise the situation before turning to extensive diagnoses.

 

Our service capability

We follow a proven approach to restructuring by reorganising the underlying business to improve operating cash flow. Our experts have undertaken restructuring assignments in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North/South/Central America, the Caribbean and Russia/CIS.



Unlike so many other consultancies which roll out junior staff or lack the depth of airline experience, our team members have the experience and skills to help you tackle your situation quickly and with confidence. We are pragmatic and practical, focusing on enhancing profitability and the competitiveness of your business. For more information, please contact Shakeel Adam.
