Following on from their earlier collaboration, Aviation Project Management, the authors have written this more in-depth book for those who need to study aviation project management in greater detail and connect project management within an aviation context to prudent business decision-making. Aviation project management is described throughout all stages of a lifecycle that begins when the project is first conceived and does not end until it has been successfully completed, fully documented, and put into operational service.
