M2P Consulting

What does it take to succeed in aviation? A deep understanding of the industry, a strategic mindset and solutions designed for its unique challenges. Steering through these complexities requires a partner with deep knowledge and a tailored approach.

M2P Consulting, a boutique management consulting firm, offers sector-specific expertise. Unlike consultancies that apply one-size-fits-all models or surface-level digital transformation plans, M2P addresses the complex challenges unique to aviation and delivers implementation-ready solutions.

“We are flying on a different level, as we are more involved in the details and operations of our clients, providing more specialized services,” says Christophe Mostert, managing partner.

Delivering workforce efficiency is a prime example. Rather than applying generic workforce models, strategies are custom-made to balance labor laws, union negotiations and a mobile workforce. Clients benefit from advanced analytics that predict demand, align workforce planning with flight schedules, anticipate labor market shifts and optimize resilience and productivity.

Workforce strategy is just one piece of the puzzle. In aviation, operational efficiency is challenged on multiple fronts. Fluctuating fuel prices, volatile demand and the need for continuous infrastructure investment put immense pressure on profitability. Regulatory complexities further add to the burden, varying significantly across regions. In Europe, strict sustainability rules on aviation fuel and carbon emissions drive compliance costs higher. The U.S. maintains a more stable regulatory framework, remaining consistent even through changes in administration. Meanwhile, the Middle East balances investments in traditional fuels with emerging technologies to position itself as an innovation leader.

M2P structures its offerings around four key service pillars designed to solve these client challenges.

The first is business process design, which helps clients shape their business strategy, define target operating models and develop commercial business cases. Leveraging deep industry expertise, M2P goes beyond peripheral recommendations and focuses on the operational details that drive real impact.

The second pillar is built on analytics, which ensures that data supports decision-making. Advanced analytics and predictive models help clients find the right balance between efficiency, productivity and resilience. With disruptions becoming more frequent, data-driven simulations enable airlines and airports to determine optimal reserve levels, ensuring operational stability without unnecessary costs.

The third pillar, technology, encompasses two key areas. First, M2P helps clients identify and procure the right solutions through in-depth market research and industry-specific trend analysis. This includes evaluating tools for planning, supply chain management and workforce optimization. The second area focuses on digital transformation and implementation, which supplements clients’ internal capabilities with expertise at every stage. Services include project management, system architecture, change management and process optimization. These efforts ensure new solutions are seamlessly embedded into workflows for maximum effectiveness.

The final focus is program and project portfolio management, particularly in infrastructure projects like airport construction, commissioning and operational readiness. As airport infrastructure becomes increasingly digital, M2P also helps integrate technology into operations to optimize functionality.

One of M2P’s standout achievements is an end-to-end transformation project with a major European cargo operator. Acting as the client’s strategic partner, it overhauled the entire cargo management process, from quoting and planning to invoicing and warehouse management. The initiative spanned two to two-and-a-half years and was supported by a multi-million investment. It delivered substantial efficiency gains and enhanced commercial performance, driving measurable improvements for the client and its customers.

While aviation remains its primary focus, M2P’s expertise extends to the broader travel, transport and logistics sectors, supporting the successful execution of strategies and technologies across global projects. Success is fueled by a team that blends technical expertise with industry experience. Consultants from mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science and economics bring diverse perspectives to tackle complex problems. A balanced mix of young talent and seasoned professionals ensures a well-rounded skill set, meeting clients’ varied needs.

With a commitment to advancing capabilities, trending technologies are leveraged to provide benefits beyond conventional consulting expertise. Through this strategic investment and proficiency in attending to details, M2P Consulting remains a partner of choice for the global market.
