Course Detail: ALF-4100 - Airline Marketing in association with IATA [ALF 4100]
Overview
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's (ERAU) Airline Marketing, part of a joint Aviation Management Program with the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), provides students with insight into the evolving world of airline marketing. During the last decade, the landscape of airline marketing has undergone significant transformation. New developments in technology have allowed airlines to develop an unprecedented level of engagement with their customers. These changes have an impact not only on the communication channels that marketers employ, but also on the role of marketing within airline companies.
In this course, we explain marketing through several key aspects: the role of marketing in creating a customer-oriented organizational culture, the forces and events that have shaped the airline industry as it is today, the impact of technology on distribution and communication channels, and the set of activities employed by marketers to help their airline reach its goals.
