Big data refers to the huge amounts of information in the structured and unstructured form that cannot be processed using traditional data systems. Big data technology facilitates the utilization of high volumes of external and internal data to create new products, services and improve business operations. In the era of big data, airlines can provide services that are more satisfying to customers and to stay competitive in their fierce marketplace. Airlines can reap many benefits from big data, but many challenges still remain. This study illustrates how airlines successfully adopt big data technology. The paper also explores the opportunities and challenges of big data in the airline industry. Based upon the qualitative approach, 27 semi-structured interviews with employees and experts at airlines in Egypt were conducted. The findings reveal that big data has a great importance in providing broad opportunities for airspace management, enhancing flexibility in dealing with each passenger, boosting problem solving, supporting decision, providing safe flights, boosting predictive maintenance, and improving performance. The findings illustrate a range of challenges that airlines may face when dealing with big data, such as shortage of qualified human resources, absence of data-driven culture, dealing with and processing huge amounts of data, as well as data privacy and security issues. Finally, implications for practice as well as future researches are discussed.

The lean green approach (LG) has gained importance in the service sector. LG is a recent approach that combines green management and lean thinking principles into a single paradigm. The simultaneous implementation of LG can help airlines improve resource efficiency, reduce costs, conserve the environment, and remain competitive. Although LG approach achieves many benefits for airlines, several challenges remain. The overall objective of this research is to explore the practices, opportunities, and challenges of the LG approach at airlines in Egypt. Moreover, this study also evaluates the effect of LG adoption on the airlines' competitive advantage (CA). Based upon the mixed methodology, this study conducted (18) semi-structured interviews with experts in airline companies operating in Egypt. Besides, a structured questionnaire was distributed to (89) participants to examine the effect of LG implementation on the CA of airlines. The empirical findings indicate that LG practices have a positive impact on the airlines' CA. The findings of interviews reveal that LG practices provide broad opportunities for airlines by enhancing the following issues: management of catering inventory, cost reduction, ground handling services, ecological behaviour for customers and employees, workflows and operational performance, aircraft maintenance, fuel consumption and recycling, and sustainability. The findings also illustrate a range of challenges that airlines may face when implementing LG practices, like keeping pace with technological development, human resource training policies, resistance to change, the culture of management, waste management, and sustainable aviation fuels. Finally, implications for practice as well as future research are discussed.
