Strategies for successful business models

Urgent action is necessary if your airport or airline is suffering from heavy losses or when drastic external influences force you to make changes. To secure the liquidity of your company your short term goals will be to assure the operational cash flow and reduce further financial losses.

Our experts analyse all revenue and loss drivers to define short term measures for your operations, work force and processes. By stabilizing your company in the longer term we help you to create flexible and cost-effective structures to enable you to respond better to changing market conditions. We participate actively in your business turnaround process by providing implementation assistance, management including shadow management and accompany your vital stakeholder communication. We identify the possibilities of co operations and alliances and can also restructure your company in preparation for privatization.

Lufthansa Consulting has gained significant experience and insights in the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) market from setting up Lufthansa Aerial Services. We speak to UAV supporters like manufacturers, users, policy makers as well as to companies and authorities who feel threatened by drones. 

As aviaiton experts we understand the safety needs of all airspace users and can navigate you through this fast developing industry. We answer your questions like “Are UAVs a chance for me to improve data quality, lower my costs, and reduce risks? How can I overcome the potential risks of drones for my business or premises? As a UAV operator how do I get permission to operate in a particular country and risk class?” 

We can help in setting up the right national UAV policy to foster this business opportunity and to balance it with the legitimate interests of groups that need to control and protect stakeholders from misuse. We support UAV operators in developing risk management and mitigation systems to get the necessary approval for their missions. We support clients in the search of the right service provider e.g. in public tender processes. We evaluate your advantages when using UAV systems instead of traditional technologies. 

Changing market needs, as well as new market entrants are forcing your company to constantly adjust strategies. As a consequence, your organizational structures also have to be adapted to build the right foundation to meet these new challenges.
