Aerospace and aviation sustainability
Roland Berger’s path to sustainability and true-zero emissions for aviation and aerospace, including SAFs, electric propulsion and hydrogen power
EPISODE 13
A strategic view of the aviation industry
"People in the industry are certainly part of not moving as fast-paced as the industry needs to do, but the industry needs to move on. I'm a firm believer that the industry needs to revolutionize and modernize in a speed we have not seen the last 20 years, particularly in operations."
How has the aviation industry evolved, and where is it headed over the next five years? This is the focus of our latest podcast, where our partner Florian Dehne and Luis Rodrigues, CEO of TAP Portugal, take a deep dive into the industry's future challenges and what it takes to ensure continued success. The COVID-19 crisis hit the aviation sector particularly hard, forcing a rebuild from the ground up. In this episode, we reflect on the aftermath of the pandemic, examining what has changed, what still needs to change, and the daily surprises leaders must navigate in times of crisis.
Our thirteenth podcast episode explores the complexities of the aviation business, discussing how to maintain operational efficiency and move forward. While there was significant post-COVID growth, a “soft landing” is now expected. Anticipating future challenges is crucial: What strategies will balance the high demand for travel, limited airline capacity, and effectiveness in the face of rising costs? How have customer behaviors shifted, and what impact does that have on operations?
We also consider the evolving mindset of airline staff. Pilots and cabin crews are accustomed to established processes, and until now, the industry has resisted major transformation. Moving forward, agility, simplicity, and sustainability are essential for success—with the production of sustainable aviation fuels playing a critical role. How will the industry embrace IT advancements and simplify operations? Are there enough skilled professionals across all areas?
Join us as we explore how a new generation is reshaping the aviation industry and how the industry itself is entering a new era of innovation.
