This evolution and change brings with it many positive and negative events which can affect life satisfaction of employees. It is thought that some negative situations such as increased workload, complex business processes that new technologies can bring, flight intensity, fatigue, stress, burnout can affect life satisfaction of employees. Life satisfaction is defined both as positive or negative situations which an individual has encountered in work life and as positive and negative situations which he has encountered in social life external to work life, and it affects life pleasure of individual as a whole. The life satisfaction, which is also defined as the situation attained with comparison of expects of the individual and what he/she already has, is the sum of the positive or negative events lived by the individual during his/her work and social life. The aim of the study is to examine the aviation employees' life satisfaction due to their demographic characteristics. Data of the research were collected by questionnaire from 263 employees of a company in aviation sector. First part of the questionnaire contains demographic questions and second part of the questionnaire contains questions related with life satisfaction of employees.
