Flying Off Course

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This fifth edition of Flying Off Course is the indispensable book for anyone who wants to learn about the reality of running a modern airline. It explains the good, the bad and the ugly of this most challenging and volatile of industries. Prof. Doganis speaks with practical experience as he often fed medicine to sick airlines and cured their ills. I own the first edition and blame the book for embroiling me in this crazy aviation world. I recommend it to anyone new to the industry as it is authoritative, easy to read and, most importantly, reflects the real world of airline business. It is money well spent and many airline executives would save millions by reading it.'

Peter Bellew, Chief Operations Officer, Ryanair

"From the first edition, through the fourth, now the fifth I have been taking so many ideas into the real airline business, especially since I took the helm at Vietnam Airlines two and a half years ago. And 2017 and 2018 have proved to be the best two years for us."
