In order to ensure the structure and processes designed for the airline would be most effective, the task also included the assessment of the executive and management level workforce skills and capabilities. The structure and processes were tailored to the specific needs of the airline taking into account the following to ensure it would best serve the airline immediately.

• Stage of development
