Crew Resource Planning Audit 

 

Crew are typically the third or fourth largest airline cost.

 

In our experience, most airlines can cut unit crew costs by 5-10%, yet rarely seize this opportunity. Crew-related disruption is also a major operational challenge for many carriers. A crew resource planning audit will help you reduce costs and tackle instability.

 

Employing too many crew is expensive, while having too few disrupts the operation.  Yet, with lead times of several months to reduce or increase crew numbers, airlines often find themselves in one or other scenario, having been either too conservative or ambitious.

 

In the context of your current size and planned future growth, we therefore offer an audit to diagnose the following:

  • Efficiency of your crew operations
  • Effectiveness of your crew resource planning processes
  • Appropriateness of the associated organisation, resources and systems
  • Key issues such as roster instability, sickness, inefficient scheduling practices

 

The audit is conducted in five discrete stages, and components of the review can also be performed on a stand-alone basis.

Expected benefits for you include:

  • Opportunities for direct crew cost savings
  • Opportunities to enhance profitability by better optimising crew costs vs schedule
  • Action plan for scaling processes, systems and organisation
  • Enhanced relations with crew community and unions
  • Knowledge of key issues and potential risk factors
