Air Service Organization Boards Should Focus on Oversight

Air Service Organization Boards Should Focus on Oversight
Allow Staff to Execute on Organization Goals Effectively

Air Service Organization Boards should focus on oversight, setting the big picture goals and provide tools for staff to execute on the organization goals effectively. Beware of micro-management! Air service support, development and management are best achieved by professionals driving strategies and actions leading to meeting board-provided goals.

When air service organization boards get into micro-management, they often do so based on gut and not data driven fact and analysis. Airlines run their business based on data driven fact and analysis. If a community wants success in their dealings with the airlines, they should act like the airline and mirror the airline approach in how they conduct their business.

Air Service Organization Boards should set community air service goals and get educated on airline business models. With professional staff or consultant guidance these boards should then adjust community air service goals and strategies so that they intersect with the airlines business intentions.
