Airline Business
The airline business is probably one of the most interesting, most complex and most opinion forming industries in the world.
It deals in big money, big machines and involves a lot of people.
It has long attracted colorful characters with big egos and big dreams and can offer a fascinating career for those who can ride out the cyclical peaks and troughs and their impact on your earnings.
This lens is a window into that world, hopefully useful for professionals and those seeking to learn more about the airline industry and maybe join it. There is a collection of links, books and news items, as well as the opportunity to purchase some memrobilia and such like.
Thanks for reading, come back often and let me know if there is anything you don't see that you'd want to.

Airline Business Books
Textbook style for serious readers!
These books are all excellent books about airlines, but they do have a few issues - they tend to attract a specific audience and so read like textbooks and they suffer from documenting the industry at a point in time, when we all know it changes extremely quickly and unless you are really lucky, you won't get them at your local library!
However, if you are serious about the industry, these books and these guys will teach you a lot and give you a great grounding for understanding and seeing through the rather more 'fluffy' commentary and analysis you'll see in the mainstream media!
I particularly like the Airline Marketing & Management one; you'll keep going back to it because it talks about the basics.
