This is because it provides economic growth, place, and time benefits. However, the realization of the economic sustainability of these benefits may become difficult in certain cases. It is possible to express these situations as negative externalities in the theory of public finance. The solution to negative externalities lies in their internalization. Unfair competition is also a negative externality for air transport enterprises. One of the sanctions applied for the internalization of this negative externality is compensation. While material compensation can internalize externalities, moral compensation cannot fully compensate for externalities in a number of cases. Such a situation may constitute a violation of the rule that externalities will not be reflected in market prices. In order to understand whether such a rule violation actually occurred judicial decisions were examined using the comparison method in the study. The conclusion reached in the study is that in a few cases externalities are likely to be reflected in market prices and reveal a violation of a rule related to the theory of public finance. To ensure economic sustainability of air transportation, moral compensation decisions that have the potential not to reflect externalities to market prices must be fully determined.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"1 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Air travel is now preferred due to state assistance, new airports, superior aircraft, and the relative drop in expenses. This study's main focus is on the consumer purchase patterns of two airline companies that operate in the very competitive aviation sector. Depending on whether the airline is a full-service carrier or a low-cost carrier, these variables change. The \"Factors Affecting Airline Preferences Scale\" was created and distributed to passengers of two airline organizations at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (a full-service carrier (FSC) and a low-cost carrier (LCC) operating in Turkey) to assess the extent to which variables like airline reputation, advertising, frequent flyer programs, price, service quality, and digital marketing tools like websites, e-mails, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and mobile applications have an impact on the process of ticket purchasing decision of passengers. It was shown that the passengers' purchasing decisions were influenced by reputation, service quality, frequent flyer programs, price, digital marketing initiatives, and advertisement. It was shown that depending on whether the airline is a full-service carrier or a low-cost carrier, the impact of these elements differs.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"3 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The joystick and control surface positions must be detected accurately and quickly, and the motion mechanism must be operated in such a way as to ensure synchronization between them. The analogue voltage value taken from the potentiometer, which is used as a position sensor in many small aircraft, can be used directly or by converting to digital. 
 In this applied study, the analogue position knowledge received from the potentiometer on the joystick was converted into a PWM signal with an oscillator circuit. The PWM position signal applied to the IR (InfraRed) LED in the transmitter unit is sent as infrared light. The PWM position knowledge detected by the photodiode in the receiver unit was passed through the LPF (Low Pass Filter) and the voltage value of the joystick potentiometer was obtained again. With the mechanism controlled according to the difference between the potentiometer values of the joystick and the control surface, the synchronization between the joystick and the control surface is ensured.

Within the parameters of the study, a sample of 11irline firms operating between 2009 and 2019 was analyzed to determine the factors influencing the likelihood of financial failure. The cost of fuel, interest rates, inflation rates, and currency rates were utilized as macroeconomic variables that could have an impact on airline enterprises' ability to meet ends. Financial data and macroeconomic data of the airline companies in the sample were obtained from Thomson Reuters Eikon Datastream. The methodology of the study consists of 2 stages. In the first stage, Altman Z'' Score method is used. Then, panel data analysis method is preferred to reveal the relationship between financial failure and macroeconomic factors. According to the findings of the random effects panel data study, exchange rates and interest rates have a negative impact on financial failure. The results of the changes in interest and exchange rates suggest that governments and airlines should concentrate on policies that will strengthen the aviation sector’s financial viability. To manage these risks more effectively, financial managers must closely examine the effects of rising macroeconomic risk and the corresponding financial failure effects. Airline managers, private and institutional investors should monitor policy uncertainty, assuming that exchange rate uncertainty is a driving force in financial failure. In addition, airline companies should review their hedging strategies against exchange rate risk.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"1 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forecasting passenger demand is one of the most important marketing problems that experts frequently encounter, but there are very few studies in the literature using search queries. The main novelty of this study is to show that Destination Insight (DI) can be useful as an air passenger demand proxy in the UK. To prove this primary objective, this work uses several machine and deep learning multi-layer perceptron (MLP) methods based on a big-data framework. The findings indicate that DI is a crucial predictor of the UK air passenger demand. Besides, popular error metrics (RMSE, MAPE, MAD and AIC) were compared to find the best model in this study.
