The cost of fuel and its availability are among the most major concerns for aircrafts and the aviation industry overall. Environmental difficulties with chemical pollutant emissions emitted by aviation machines are also connected to fuel consumption. As a result, it is crucial to examine factors that affect the overall fuel usage and consumption in the airport-based aviation industry. Several variables were investigated related to the total fuel consumed, such as dry operating weight (DOW) (KG), zero-fuel weight (ZFW), take-off weight (TOW), air distance (AIR DIST) (KM), and ground distance (GDN DIST). Analysis of the correlation between total fuel consumed as well as the extra fuel and selected variables was conducted. The results showed that the most positively associated factors with the total used fuel were the air distance (r2 = 0.86, p < 0.01), ground distance (r2 = 0.78, p < 0.01), TOW (r2 = 0.68, p < 0.01), and flight time (r2 = 0.68, p < 0.01). There was also a strong positive association between the average fuel flow (FF) and actual TOW (r2 = 0.74, p < 0.01) as well as ZFW (r2 = 0.61, p < 0.01). The generalized linear model (GLM) was utilized to assess the predictions of total energy usage after evaluating important outliers, stability of the homogeneity of variance, and the normalization of the parameter estimation. The results of multiple linear regression revealed that the most significant predictors of the total consumed fuel were the actual ZFW (p < 0.01), actual TOW (p < 0.01), and actual average FF (p < 0.05). The results interestingly confirmed that wind speed has some consequences and effects on arrival fuel usage. The result reflects that thermal and hydrodynamic economies impact on the flying fuel economy. The research has various implications for both scholars and practitioners of aviation industry.

The inventory control of turnover parts is the key and difficult point for aircraft spare parts management, which is directly related to the benefit level of airlines in aviation industry.On the basis of considering the depreciation cost, repair cost, inventory cost and shortage cost, this paper analyzes the annual replacement times and turnover cycle, and puts forward the optimization model of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) of aircraft turnover parts. The feasibility of the method is verified by an example. Through sensitivity analysis, it is concluded that the strong sensitive factors affecting EOQ are annual replacement times and unit shortage cost, while the purchase price has little influence on EOQ.

Abstract With Lutetium (Lu-177) demand forecasted to increase following the conclusion of clinical trials and product registration in key jurisdictions, manufacturers are seeking to improve their production outputs. Naturally, the question falls to operation and maintenance of these production centers to ensure reliable supply to market. Maintenance in the radiopharmaceutical industry is a complex environment with many competing interactions between radiation safety and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Since its development by the aviation industry in 1960s, the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) concept has seen adoption by many industries. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) developed a technical document on RCM applications in nuclear industry in May 2007 while the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers (ISPE) refers to the concept in their own baseline guides. Too often, blame for reliability issues falls at the feet of the designers. Careful review of existing strategies against these baseline guidelines often tells a different story. With the view of doubling Lutetium production by the end of 2020 and continued increases over the coming years, there was a push to review the existing maintenance strategies in practice at ANSTO's facilities. This document details the results of that investigation, providing information on the gaps found and the systems implemented to bring maintenance strategies back in alignment with current best practice. It also offers commentary on situations requiring compromises between those best practices defined by IAEA and ISPE.


India's aviation industry is largely untapped with enormous growth opportunities, provided that air transport is still expensive to most of the country's population, almost 40 per cent of whom are the upwardly mobile middle class. The industry will engage and work with policy makers to adopt effective and rational decisions to improve India's civil aviation industry. The primary aim is to identify the factors responsible for low sales of Air India. Secondly, the aim is to evaluate the causal relationship between factors identified and the dependent variable airline choice. It was found that Air India should reduce the cost of ticket on both domestic and international flights. Customer doesn’t find services delivered up to the mark. The quality of food, service of cabin-crew, lateness of flight and safety should be improved by Air India to remain competitive in the market. It has become and more imperative for the Air India to prove its mettle and not just settle on the taxpayers money bailed out by the exchequer but also on price, service and safety ground.

As long as people and freights need to move from one place to another, the civil aviation industry will always exist. In this study, a country-based examination has been made on total airfreight transport. Also, gross domestic product (GDP) and total population data were included in this study. 50 countries were selected according to the most recent value that included the years 2018 or 2019 and 26 of these were included in the analysis which was covered in all three rankings. The purpose of the study is to find the similarities between countries based on the total airfreight transportation, total GDP, and total population. The relationship between the three parameters was examined with the correlation analysis. Afterward, the associated parameters were taken as independent variables and the total airfreight transportation variable was modeled by multiple linear regression analysis. In light of these analyses, GDP and total population have a significant impact on total airfreight transportation. To check the assumptions related to outliers, residuals are determined. To show the outliers and the similarities of the countries clearly, the multidimensional scaling method is used. Multidimensional scaling configuration shows that Turkey and the United Kingdom have similarities in terms of total airfreight numbers.

I aimed to identify organizational and interorganizational factors that affect flight safety, and to determine possible differences in organizational factors according to differences in organizational performance. I interviewed 28 pilots, 33 air traffic controllers, and 17 maintenance technicians, and used content analysis by coding to analyze the data. Results showed that (a) cluster analysis revealed 3 relevant organizational factors: information interface, technical management, and nontechnical management, with employees mostly concerned about the third factor; (b) pilots expected to be served by controllers, whereas controllers would like to be in control of their relationship with pilots; and (c) compared with maintenance technicians, pilots were particularly concerned with safety. Implications for safety research and management in the Chinese civil aviation industry are discussed.

Purpose Due to recent international media reports of terrorist attacks in airports, people are more aware of the risk terrorism poses to flying and the need for security measures in the airline industry. This study aims to examine factors affecting willingness to pay (WTP) for airline security and safety flights after terror attacks incident. Design/methodology/approach A polling company distributed an internet survey among 415 Israelis in July 2014, after thousands of missiles had been fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip, threatening the population and disrupting aviation traffic to and from Israel. The results show that individuals who attributed higher importance to airline security and exhibited more fear and less optimism were willing to pay more for airline security and safety. Findings The results show that individuals who attributed higher perceived importance to airline security and exhibited more fear and less optimism were willing to pay more for the security and safety of flying. Research limitations/implications The implications of the study are important for understanding how terrorist attacks and negative aviation events affect people’s feelings, pessimism/optimism and general attitudes toward airline security. Originality/value Due to the increase in the number of terror attack involving airlines, it is important for understanding the demand for tickets on secure airlines. Such an understanding is essential for evaluating the perceived benefit of safety and security improvements in the aviation industry and for developing marketing strategies for different tickets.
