Course Description

I will use the actual data such as the timetable in the lectures. Further, in the lesson of the fare calculation, the students will simulate the departure date and actually calculate the fare as well as the mileage. I will also introduce the trend of aviation industry. DVDs will sometimes be used as teaching materials in the class.

Course Objectives

In this course, I will lecture about the latest aviation industry, for example, full service carriers (such as ANA, JAL, Lufthansa and Emirates). Japanese LCC (Low Cost Carrier) companies (also known as budget airlines)were born in 2012. I will discuss the mechanism of LCC and talk about the marketing strategy of these airlines. I will also deal with the need of the aviation infrastructure maintenance for the Tokyo Olympic game and Paralympics game of 2020. In addition, in this course students will learn about major airports and airlines codes.

Grading Policy

Based on final exams, also include mid-term exam results
