Howard Mann says he was bitten by the aviation bug as a child when
his father took him to watch planes at the old terminal at Reagan Na-
tional Airport. Today, Mann is a specialist in air service development,
bilateral government policy and passenger/border/security facilita-
tion where he provides extensive air service development, strategic
planning and regulatory support to airport and aviation industry cli-
ents around the world. As an air service development consultant, he
creates and implement strategies to grow and retain traffic for both
incumbent and potential new entrant carriers. He leads client teams
at InterVISTAS for airports and communities both domestically and
internationally. This requires a comprehension of market data from
government and community sources, an understanding of the changing business models of target
air carriers and forecasting skills to work with carriers on expected performance. Mann also works
in Washington to incorporate
aeropolitical and passenger
facilitation policies into route
proposals in order to ensure
new itineraries are sustainable
in the future.
