Nordluft Airlines: Growth at the Cost of the Schedule
Nordluft's board gave the CEO 90 days to fix on-time performance — without grounding the growth plan.
Work through the actual board memo, the ops data, and the three options the CEO's team put on the table. Then make the call yourself before you see what Nordluft did.
- 01 Should Nordluft delay its new-route launches?
- 02 Is the maintenance backlog a staffing problem or a scheduling one?
- 03 What does the board actually need to hear on Monday?
Built around the way a case is actually taught.
Three steps, whether you're prepping solo or leading a cold call in section tomorrow morning.
Read the file
Full case text, exhibits, and the original data — formatted for close reading, not skimming.
Work the decision
Answer the same discussion questions your professor would ask, before you see any analysis.
Compare outcomes
See what the company actually did, how it played out, and where the class debate usually lands.
What students bring to section the next morning.
"I stopped dreading cold calls once I had a real bank of cases to prep from — not summaries, the actual files."
"I assign three of these a term now instead of writing my own. The decision points are exactly where I'd stop a class discussion."
"The industry filter alone saved me a week of prep before my consulting interviews."
