Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Air Transport Industry: A Bibliometric and Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence, along with its various components, is rapidly increasing in various fields of study today, going beyond the traditional domains of computer science and mathematics. To gain insights into how artificial intelligence is being applied in the air transport industry, uncover underlying correlations and trends in the literature, and identify potential research gaps, we conducted a systematic literature review supplemented with bibliometric elements such as keyword co-occurrence and author influence. The key findings of our research shed light on the most prolific institutions and authors globally involved in generating knowledge about AI applications in air transport. Additionally, we identified five research clusters that dominate the overall research direction: prediction and optimisation (constituting 65% of the articles), interindustry collaborations (17% of the articles), human experience (9% of the articles), safety, risks, and ethical considerations (6% of the articles), and ecology and sustainable development (3% of the articles). Overall, further research is needed to explore the ethical implications, legal considerations, integration processes, and impact on employment and the environment in the air transport industry.

Applied Methodological Essence of Project Management in Transport Through Artificial Intelligence

“…Data-driven project management is an approach that uses data to make decisions. The framework for the use of digital assets includes the following 4 steps [2], [4], [9], [10].…”

“…According to which AI is a system of algorithms that mimic human intelligence to some extent and offer a course of action without being programmed to do so. AI is a program or algorithm that draws conclusions or predictions using a dataset [4].…”

A Hybrid MRA-BN-NN Approach for Analyzing Airport Service Based on User-Generated Contents

“…To our knowledge, this study represents the first effort to scrutinize the essential service attributes of the top ten busiest airports in Southeast Asia by employing the proposed hybrid method. In addition, a systematic literature review conducted by Sadou and Tchouamou Njoya [26] provided insights into the application of artificial intelligence in the air transport industry, revealing that only nine percent of total air transport articles focus on traveler experience. This research addresses the pivotal factors of airport services that influence total airport ratings.…”
