Security and crisis management for air transport

Tourism and air transport are among the sectors most affected by the Covid-19 crisis. The pandemic lasting more than a year is reflected in short-term effects in both sectors, but there are also severe long-term consequences. National authorities will have to set recovery plans following the relevant policies and encompass international cooperation with public and private entities. The article aims to identify the methods and procedures that can be implemented, which can mitigate the consequences of the crisis and initiate the renewal of international tourism and air transport in particular. The paper's methodology is based on current statistical data and strategic documents at the national and international level represented by the international organizations (esp. UNWTO, WTTC, IATA, ICAO, ECAC). The focus is on the crisis management of the public sector entities in terms of the definition and implementation of reconstruction strategies, on private sector stakeholders, on the interconnection of the tourism and the air transport sectors, and cooperation in the international environment. Methods and tools for the renewal of both sectors are based on a strategic approach of the public sector, support for the introduction of new business models in the private sector, change in the product and marketing mix, digitization, innovation, and education.

Purpose. The aim of the article is systematization and analysis of the causes and consequences of bankruptcy of airline companies in the Ukrainian air transport market, and on this basis – creation of a unified anti-crisis program for Ukrainian airlines, which will take into account the peculiarities of the unstable financial and information environment. Methodology of research. Methods of analysis, synthesis, sampling, graphic, etc. are used in the study of the genesis of the aviation sector of Ukraine. The abstract and logical method, methods of theoretical generalization, dialectics and logic are used in order to substantiate the basic provisions of the concept of crisis management. The airline's structural, process, balance and situational approaches as well as the method of expert judgment are used to develop an adapted anti-crisis program for the airline company. Findings. It has been determined that in today's world financial and economic system, crises that aggravate problems in different sectors of the economy are difficult to predict and dynamic phenomenon. The problems of the Ukrainian air carriers have been analysed and the results of the activity of the latter are found to be low, the situation is complicated by the signs of future and consequences of past crises. An adapted anti-crisis program for Ukrainian airline companies is proposed, based on identifying the nature of the destructive factors and choosing the measures that will be appropriate for them. Originality. An adapted anti-crisis program for Ukrainian airline companies has been developed, which, unlike the existing ones, takes into account the peculiarities of the aviation industry and determines measures depending on the level and nature of the destructive factor influencing the activity of the air carrier. Practical value. The proposed adapted anti-crisis program, taking into account these recommendations for application, will allow Ukrainian airline companies to quickly mobilize resources and become accustomed to new conditions of activity, stabilize the main financial and economic indicators, accelerate the speed of response to crisis phenomena.

Abstract. Compared with other team settings, flight crew in air transport present a unique situation where the leader or supervisor regularly engages in active control. When the captain is assigned cognitively demanding pilot flying duties, the subordinate and often less experienced first officer must perform equally crucial monitoring and support duties. Using a systematic review methodology, this study reviews the reported effect of crew role assignment on flight safety outcomes. Our review identified 18 relevant studies and suggests crew performance factors linked to flight safety are affected by crew role assignment. Findings suggest a greater number of inherent obstacles may exist for optimal crew performance with the captain as pilot flying, raising the need for further specific research and policy review in this area.
