The Airline Management Challenge competition, organised by the International Air Transport Association, attracted 17 higher education institutions from around the world.
The competition was divided into two categories, of which Haaga-Helia won the second. Haaga-Helia's winning team consisted of four Aviation Business students, Sanskriti Kharel, Lina Storbacka, Wei Chao and Mihkel Lepik. The winners will be invited to visit the IATA in Geneva in August.
The teams were tasked with holding airline management positions and running virtual airlines using the Air Mercury simulation. Haaga-Helia's winning team was led by Thomas Sundman, lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences.
The competition was attended by 17 aviation-related education institutions from around the world, including the UK, the Netherlands, the USA, the UAE and Australia. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the international organisation representing and serving the aviation industry.
Congratulations to winners!
