This chapter investigates the managerial practices of low-cost carriers during the pandemic enhancing its operations to remain in track. The managerial practices in the study were high competence workforce, organizational culture, risk management, and strategic human resources management. The multiple regression was applied. The results found that LCCs highlighted on risk management, followed by high competence workforce, and strategic human resource management affecting to organizational structure. Overall, there seems to be some evidence to indicate that the discrepancies and risk management plan for any circumstances of uncertainty must be implemented. While the training and development of employees should be conducted continuously especially during the period of non-operating. A further issue suggested to practice the strategic human resource management (SHRM), that aligned organization objectives fit with the current situation both internally and externally, since the SHRM would eventually affect to organizational structure as a whole.
