“…Safety and its standards have always been one of the biggest priorities of the airline sector, playing an indispensable role in the day by day of the airlines. Its improvement has become a topic of growing interest in the operations management field (Liou, Yen, & Tzeng, 2008;McFadden & Hosmane, 2001), considering the main goal of the airline sector that is to guarantee the future viability of the airlines, reducing constantly the number of accidents and incidents (Shappell et al, 2007;Liao, 2015). Obviously, one of the explanatory components that contributed to the improvement of safety issues were the continuous changes in technology of aircraft and engines (Dionne, Gagné, Gagnon, & Vanasse, 1997;Oster Jr., Strong, & Zorn, 2013).…”

Safety has always been and is a key management aspect in the airline industry. Airline companies, airport management, aviation staff and air traffic control perform the impossible to ensure the lowest possible number of accidents and incidents for minimizing the number of fatalities. The main objective of this paper is first, to determine and analyze literature published concerning safety in the airline business and, second, to see the relationship between safety and other related economic and financial indicators. The sample used is a collection of international airlines included in the JACDEC safety index, considering longitudinal data for the years 2011−2015. The results revealed a non-significant effect for safety on the profitability of the airline companies, whereas a significant effect of safety on airlines’ revenues was shown.

Safety is a critical element in the air transport industry. Although fatal air accidents are rare compared to other transport industries, the rapid growth in air travel demands has resulted in a growing aviation risk exposure and new challenges in the aviation sector. Although the issue of airline safety is of serious public concern, notably few studies have investigated the safety efficiency of airlines. This paper aims to propose a novel hybrid method using fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) and fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (F-MADM) for ranking the airlines' safety. In this study, fuzzy DEA is utilised to calculate criteria weights, in contrast to the conventional approach of using DEA for measuring the efficiency of alternatives. A ranking of each airline (DMU) on the basis of obtained weights is then assessed using MADM methods. Six MADM methods including Fuzzy SAW, Fuzzy TOPSIS, Fuzzy VIKOR, ARAS-F, COPRAS-F and Fuzzy MULTIMOORA are implemented to rank the alternatives, and finally, the results are compounded with the utility interval technique. This new hybrid method can efficiently overcome the pitfalls of traditional hybrid DEA-MADM models. The method proposed in this study is used to evaluate the safety levels of seven Iranian airlines and to select the safest one.

Assessing and facilitating warehouse safety AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate how warehouse safety can be assessed and facilitated.Methodology -Through a literature study, we build a theoretical framework to provide insights in how safety in Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) can be assessed and facilitated. We perform a case study at a large Dutch LSP using interviews and questionnaires to determine the relevance of the subdimensions to assess warehouse safety. Findings -Using literature, we identify people, procedures and technology related sub-dimensions of safety culture and safety behavior and factors that may affect how safety culture translates to safety behavior. Using a case study our findings indicate which sub-dimensions and influencing factors LSP employees find important and why. We found differences in the importance assigned to safety, which may point to the existence of sub-cultures across warehouses. Research limitations/implications -This paper contributes to the limited existing warehouse safety literature in which the factors that influence safety are not well explored. Although the case study investigates one LSP and as such does not generalize across LSPs, it provides valuable insights in important aspects of safety and how they can be influenced. Practical implications -This paper offers safety managers insights in how to assess and facilitate safety within their warehouses. Originality -Although warehouse safety is important, there is scarce academic research that explores this issue.
