The aim of the study is to examine the level of hope and life satisfaction of the workforce negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the post-pandemic period and to measure the effect of hope on life satisfaction. This period, when the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted and individuals returned to the workplace, is described as the new normal era. It is wondered whether life satisfaction increases as the hope of the employees increases. Because hope is a driving force for individuals to reach their goals. There is a need to be hopeful in order to cope with challenges and uncertainty. Therefore, It is considered that the current study will provide contribution to organizational behaviour. In addition, it is predicted that the results of the hope and life satisfaction levels of aviation sector employees who have working challenges will give an idea to the sector managers. The research was carried out at three airports operating in Turkey. The data were obtained from 245 people working at these airports by means of a survey according to the convenience sampling method. The research is based on the quantitative data analysis method. According to the findings of the study, the hope and life satisfaction levels of aviation sector employees were above the average in the post-pandemic period. According to the correlational relationships, gender had a significant and negative relationship with life satisfaction and hope, respectively. While age had a significant and positive relationship with life satisfaction; age did not have a significant relationship with hope. Moreover, there was a significant and positive relationship between hope and life satisfaction and hope predicted life satisfaction significantly and positively.

Sustainable material use refers to the capacity of a material to be utilized in a way that does not deplete the Earth’s natural resources or harm the ecosystem. This lowering might entail employing renewable or recyclable materials and reducing the overall quantity of material utilized in airport services. Renewable materials, recyclable materials, biodegradable materials, reusable materials, low-impact materials (low-emission materials), natural materials, and non-toxic materials are sustainable materials used in airports. There are 58 civil airports operated in Turkiye. The public information on the airport operators’ websites can assess sustainable material use in these airports. There are ten different airport operator groups present in Turkiye. This study offered a novel scoring system called CACS which stands for Clarity, Accessibility, Continuity, and Suitability, to retrieve sustainable material use from sustainability reports of airport operators. The model proposed in this paper will help the readers benchmark a group of airports not present in the literature. The results show that İGA airport is the highest score among the ten airports, followed by TAV airports at 820.6 and 256.3, respectively. The top five airports encapsulate 97.44% after the Normalization of passenger counts of Turkiye. Airport operators’ sustainable material usage and other sustainability benchmarking on numerous domains based on sustainability reporting systems would draw the public and increase awareness, allowing operator firms and airport authorities to concentrate on creating a more livable future.

Air cargo transportation attracts increasing attention among other alternative transportation models in developing countries due to its ability to provide the fastest transportation service to distant locations. A cargo hub, where air cargo companies perform their cargo operations, plays a critical role, especially in service time and cost. In choosing a site for their operations, understanding the importance of many seemingly independent factors/criteria such as airport system and infrastructure, proximity to production and consumption sources, and transportation connections play a critical role in balancing time and cost. Hence, the study aims to determine the location selection criteria of the cargo hub as the operation site of air cargo companies and to rank their importance. For this purpose, the opinions of experts in university and managers of big air cargo companies in Turkiye were collected. In the first stage of the study, the criteria were determined and categorized into four categories by using the Delphi method. In the second stage, the importance levels of the criteria were determined using the G-AHP method. The research findings highlighted “transportation diversity of the region”, “proximity to important production resources”, and “the structure of existing warehouses” as the most important criteria among others. The importance levels of location selection criteria categories ranked as “Supply, Equipment and Costs”, “Transportation Connections”, “Consumer” and “External Factors”. In summary, findings show that the most important factor affecting the location selection decision is related to the suitability of the airport's infrastructure for cargo operations.

The study aims to explain the size relationship between wingspan and fuselage length, which are the two basic design parameters that a designer is most curious about. Within the scope of the study, the relationship between take-off mass, fuselage length and wingspan of a total of 601 aircraft was questioned for single-piston, twin-piston, turboprop, and jet aircraft types. Power correlations were used for mass-based sizing of wingspan and fuselage length. In mass-based sizing, bad correlations were found for fuselage length for single-piston airplanes and good correlations for turboprops and jets. In terms of wingspan to fuselage length ratio (b/lfus) jets showed a more pronounced trend, ranging from 0.7 to 1.1, while other aircraft types showed different trends, ranging from 0.9 to 1.7. In general, racer, homebuilt, aerobatic, and light transport aircraft have low b/lfus ratios, while motor gliders, firefighters, patrol, and agricultural aircraft have high b/lfus ratios. The study is valuable in that it fills a gap in the literature by considering the relationship between wingspan and fuselage length both with correlations over mass and by revealing statistics according to aircraft types over proportional relationship.

Aviation is a high cost sector dependent on quality, risk and sectoral developments. Aviation businesses include not only flight activities, but can also be expressed with a broad-spectrum organizational structure such as passenger, ground, and airport ramp services. The activities that make up the most important part of the aviation industry, such as the wishes and demands of the passengers or the conditions of the passengers requiring special care, are carried out. Customer satisfaction is the main vision of aviation enterprises struggling under global competition. In addition, security, one of the basic principles of aviation, should not be ignored. For this reason, it can be said that aviation workers work under a multidimensional pressure. It is evaluated that both the various demands of the people receiving the service, the sectoral safety procedures, and the constant physiological effects (pressure, high noise, etc.) affect the compassion fatigue and job satisfaction of aviation employees. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the compassion fatigue and job satisfaction levels of airport employees. Although there are studies on job satisfaction in the aviation industry, there are no studies on compassion fatigue. Therefore, this study is a first in this field. This research applied to 653 employees working at 62 airports operated in Turkey. According to the results of the research, a difference was found between compassion fatigue and the education, age, duty, and income status of aviation workers. It can be stated that the factors that reduce job satisfaction are an important factor in triggering compassion fatigue.

The study aims to discuss the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between abusive management and psychological contract perception and job embeddedness. The data of the research, which is based on the theory of social exchange and the theory of conservation of resources, were collected from airline transportation companies operating in Istanbul. The sample of the study consists of 294 participants. The hypotheses of the research were tested with the help of the structural equation model-Amos and the bootstrap method. Findings revealed that perceived organizational support has a mediating role in the relationship between abusive management and psychological contract perception and job embeddedness. In addition, the findings provide a comprehensive assessment of how abusive management and psychological contract perception increase job embeddedness through increased perceived organizational support. In the context of Turkey, this study on employees in airline companies is important because it is the first study to deal with the destructive effects of abusive management and the positive effect of the psychological contract with their organizations, and the positive effect of the employees' perceived organizational support on their job embeddedness.

The technological stress factor is more evident in the aviation industry, which uses high and rapidly changing technology, especially for technical employees. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of technostress levels of aviation industry employees on their decision-making styles and to investigate the regulatory effects of job insecurity perception, which is of great importance for businesses and employees in this effect. The research universe has been determined as the technical personnel in the airline companies operating in Turkey. At all, 402 questionnaires were considered valid and included in the 25th data analysis of SPSS. It was determined that technological stress was statistically significantly related to rational, intuitive, avoidant and impulsive decision making. Meanwhile, each decision-making style and the dimensions of job insecurity perception separately have significant moderator roles. Finally, it was revealed that all technostress dimensions, except for the techno-invasion dimension, were statistically significantly correlated with at least one decision-making style. In the research, suggestions were made for the effects of changes in employee decision-making styles and perceptions of job insecurity as a result of the effects of technostress, and the results were tried to be explained with aviation industry dynamics and theoretical literature.

The aviation industry is one of the sectors that have been adversely affected by the pandemic, both materially and morally. In the early stages of the pandemic , air transport came to a standstill for a long time. The airline industry's inability to do business has had some consequences. Pilots, who are the last link of flight safety, which is an indispensable priority of the airline industry, have been the professional group that directly confronts the material and moral consequences of interrupted flights. When the importance of the flight performance of the pilots is evaluated, the effect of these results on the aviation sector has become suitable to increase geometrically. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the extent to which the pilots are affected by the pandemic conditions and the main reasons for these effects. The method of the study was determined as a questionnaire and one-to-one interviews with flight instructors. 148 pilots participated in the survey and 3 flight instructors were interviewed. According to the results, it has been seen that the group most affected by the effects of the pandemic is the inexperienced first officers who have just started to work and have not gained enough experience yet. It has been seen that every time they come to the cockpit, they perform as if they are sitting in that seat for the first time. It was observed that the least affected were experienced captains. However, in general, since flight is a team job, it has been observed that the workload of experienced captains increases due to inexperienced first officers, which negatively affects flight performance. However, it is thought that it is not reflected in the statistics due to the decrease in the number of flights.
