Governments Look To Airlines For Models And Skills

A headline inside the Grauniad on Friday grabbed me as I was leaving LHR to return home.

have a listen to their podcast on the subject:

The idea of a model Low Cost Carrier being applied to the provision of government services is somewhat radical - even the more so by being offered by a Tory Council in the Greater London area. I only hope they don't look for inspiration to Ryanair and Michael O'Leary.

It seems that Goverments are now looking to the airline to address some of their own woes. Particularly financial.

MAS Chairman Idras Jawal after the stunning turnaround at MH has now been hired into the Government.

Wow - what a world we live in!
