This research was focused on increasing the efficiency of aircraft ground handling at the airport. The main goal of the research was to improve the individual processes that are part of the aircraft ground handling in order to speed up this operation, as well as improve the turnaround time between individual flights to enhance the overall throughput of airport stands. The objective of the research was to measure the times of standard airport processes that are part of the aircraft handling, measure the turnaround time between individual flights at the selected airport and increase the efficiency of each process that was measured. After the measurements had been taken, changes were introduced, and the times were measured again. The changes were mainly focused on the following aspects: the position of ground handling equipment before the arrival of the aircraft, the deployment of staff, and the routes taken by ground handling equipment. The measurements were taken during the summer on a fixed stand, with a standard number of employees and with the same type of aircraft. In total, 78 measurements were taken in which 2340 partial times were measured during the entire course of aircraft ground handling before departure to the next destination. After the changes were implemented, the same measurements were taken again to see if the changes that had been implemented could speed up the overall process of the aircraft ground handling. Subsequently, all data were evaluated using statistical methods. All measurements were done at the Košice airport.
Wizzair was the first low-cost airline to operate at Kosice Airport. From the beginning, it has shown exceptionally good results and the occupancy of its lines has been over 80%. The situation that took place in Vienna forced Wizzair to cancel the base in Kosice and to move the fleet to Vienna. Ryanair takes advantage of this change and enters the market with practically the same line as Wizzair from Kosice to London. The aim of this paper is to describe the situation at Kosice airport. The competitive fight between these two companies is visible from the very first moment when Ryanair introduced its flights at a much better price than Wizzair. The paper also focuses on the comparing these prices and fares as well as the profit over the period under review.
The load factor is the determining factor for airlines in economic terms and the prediction of the future development of the flight route. The combination of load factor and break-even point provides the airline with a comprehensive picture of the business of the flight route and the optimization of pricing for the flight route. The purpose of the article is to propose and adapt the development of air transport prices on a given line using maximally recalculated values and maximize profit. The optimized calculation algorithm then facilitates the understanding of the individual steps of the load factor calculation and the monitoring of price development by means of the chi-square mathematical method by which we observed the interconnection of the ticket price and the load factor. To describe the problem, we chose the Bratislava – Larnaca route.
The main aim of the article is to bring the understanding of operational statistics of airports closer to readers. What is the essence of the execution and what belongs to them. For this article, we chose the Airport Kosice and present its operational statistics in a specific year. In the introduction are some business companies at the airport as well as the airport itself. The number of transported passengers as one of the most basic airport operation services is dealt with in the scheduled and non scheduled passenger transport for the chosen year. Finally, it is connected to the global overtaking operations of Kosice Airport. All of these indicators are graphically displayed for easier comprehension for the reader, the portions of the transported passengers for each selected transport segment.
The aim of the article is to analyze the functionality of the Boeing MCAS system. MCAS is identified as the main culprit of two air accidents that impacted Boeing and grounded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Many findings indicate that the above type of aircraft was released into service with many errors that had an impact on aircraft control, and it is clear that Boeing knew about these errors and specifically kept them secret. Boeing kept the errors from affecting the production of the 737 MAX and at the same time losing competition against Airbus. Investigations and certification of this type are not completed even one year after their grounding and this process will have a long-term impact on the entire aviation industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
