New course on airline revenue management

Dr. Laurie Garrow will be offering a new graduate course on airline revenue management for the spring 2023 semester. The course integrates multiple concepts from demand modeling, operations research, and economics and covers demand forecasting, inventory control, and revenue optimization approaches that are used by airlines as part of their RM systems. Students will gain practical experience in implementing these approaches in Python and have the opportunity to use a competitive RM simulator to explore how RM demand forecasting and optimization approaches used by one airline influence revenue outcomes for that airline as well as its competitors.

Dr. Garrow notes that “I’m very excited to teach this course on airline revenue management because the corporate members of ATL@GT helped us design the course by identifying concepts and approaches that are essential for students to be able to successfully pursue careers in revenue management and work for airlines or airline software development companies.”

The course includes ten key modules. Each module includes an hour video lecture and accompanying documentation that ATL@GT members can use for their own internal training programs.
