The Covid-19 epidemic, which has recently been exposed to the whole world, has left deep traces in the aviation industry. The narrowing of air transportation due to the effect of the epidemic brought along financial problems for the ground services component, which is responsible for the operational process. The aim of this study is to examine the financial effects of Covid-19 on ground handling services. For this purpose, the data of Çelebi Ground Handling Inc., which was determined as a sample company, between 2009-2020 were tested using the Entropy-Based TOPSIS Method. The criteria were weighted with the Entropy method and then the alternatives were classified with the help of the series created using the TOPSIS method. Five criteria were determined as \"net sales, profit before interest, total assets, equity and number of employees\". According to the results of the research, while the highest weighted criterion was total assets, 2018 was determined as the most successful year of the company in financial terms. It was observed that negative financial effects occurred in 2020 with the effect of the pandemic, but there were improvements again in 2021 and even a more successful financial performance compared to 2017.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86445723","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}

However, this branch of science, which is still very young in the history of science, acts as a catalyst in the economy by adding high added value to the world trade volume. This sector, which gained momentum with the liberalization period after 1980, has an ecosystem in which strong organizational structures can hold. With its key functions such as safety management, human resources management, marketing management, and financial management in terms of its scope, it needs a visionary perspective with a working area within the airport management network. From this point of view, understanding the development processes of the field in the literature and revealing its relationship with other variables will provide a systematic and holistic perspective to the related literature. For this purpose, the bibliometric analysis method was used in this study, which was conducted in the field of aviation management. The study covers a process, especially from the liberalization period to the present. The purpose of this study in the field of aviation management is to create a perspective on the aspects in which the field offers mobility, the development, quality, and quantity of the process.

Influenced by catastrophic crises, increased competition, and changes in customer needs and expectations, airlines have had to innovate their business models or converge them with others over time. Thus, the topic of ABM has attracted tremendous scholarly attention. However, the extant literature lacks a visualized bibliometric study that investigates the evolution of ABM in depth. In this context, this paper employs a comprehensive visualized bibliometric analysis through CiteSpace software to present the evolution of the topic “airline business model” and its possible trends in the post Covid-19 era by benefiting 652 articles on ABMs published during the period from 1985 to 2021. The results reveal that studies on ABMs have increased, especially over the past few years, and Journal of Air Transport Management is the leader outlet preferred by authors on this topic. In addition, although studies on low-cost carriers have an obvious dominance over studies on other ABMs, the results provide some evidence that studies on long-haul business models will increasingly continue in the future.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91318653","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}

New Zealand is Australia’s second largest tourist market, and the air routes to Australia are New Zealand’s busiest; as such, the trans-Tasman passenger traffic is of significant economic and strategic interest. This study utilized an exploratory research design and an in-depth longitudinal research approach to examine the evolution of the market and to understand the process of market development. The qualitative data was examined by document analysis. The study period was from 1995 to 2020. The low-cost carriers (LCCs) first entered the market in 1995. The case study revealed that since that time, the market has broadly had four discrete phases. The first phase was from 1995 to 2003 when the first low-cost carriers (LCCs) entered the market; the second phase saw the rapid growth in traffic following the launch of services by Pacific Blue Airlines (a subsidiary of Virgin Blue) and Jetstar Airways. An important development in the market took place in 2010, when Pacific Blue was rebranded Virgin Australia, and, as such, implemented the full-service network carrier (FSNC) business model. In 2016, AirAsia-X entered the market, utilizing fifth freedom traffic rights, to provide daily Airbus A330 services from Coolangatta to Auckland. AirAsia-X exited the market in early 2019 leaving Jetstar Airways as the sole low-cost carrier operating in the market (Phase 4).","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"30 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85762571","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}
