Solve hand-on network planning challenges

On March 08, 2025; I plan to conduct the “Basics of Airline Network Planning” course which covers complex nitty-gritties of network planning. The icing on the cake is the hands-on case studies which are done in groups and discussed with the participants. The course starts at 0915hrs IST and ends at 1330hrs IST with a break in between. Since this involves breakout rooms and hands-on challenge solving, the batch size will be restricted to 9 or 12 (with a team of three for case studies)
