Sustainable Airport Management and Airline Marketing

Öz

The aviation sector comprises every industry that provides direct assistance to mechanical air transportation. The aviation industry includes a variety of institutions, such as military aviation companies, aircraft manufacturers, and various commercial establishments, all of which play important roles. The analysis of airline market shares was carried out within the realm of the aviation industry. Considering the ongoing trajectory of increasing airline market shares, it is crucial for firms to commit resources towards investing in this industry. Furthermore, a thorough evaluation of the existing literature revealed a dearth of research specifically focused on airline marketing. The primary objective of this research was to address the existing gap in the literature. Sustainable airport management and business, the airline industry, business-to-business analytics in the airline sector, customer satisfaction, and customer experience were some of the facets investigated in this study. In addition, the study seeks to provide a SWOT analysis of the airline marketing strategies employed by transportation corporations.
