“…This paper is in line with authors (including Ren and Li, 2018;Burmester et al, 2018;and Li and Ryerson, 2019) who have highlighted the potential of new big data sources for aviation research in general, but de facto also includes air transport geography. Today, and once ADS-B technology has been fully implemented in aircraft, several new directions for research could be considered (provided ground-level spatial coverage is increased).…”

Scholars and experts in transportation, economics, geography and environmental studies have largely assumed the distance flown by commercial planes represents the shortest route (also known as the great-circle or orthodromic route). However, in the real world, planes follow longer itineraries for various reasons. The magnitude of these detours is assessed through a large, one-week sample of actual flight traces obtained from Flightradar, which we compare with great-circle distances (n=393,360). The results suggest that the average lengthening is 7.6 %, although under conservative hypotheses and with high standard deviation. The shortest flights are proportionally more affected. They also contribute more to the global amount of extra kilometres. The geography of detours by departure airport is the consequence of a wide range of factors. As a result, considering the use of great-circle distances to feed spatial interaction models, emission (or fuel burnt) assessments or airline rankings can lead to significantly skewed outcomes. In addition, detours imposed on certain airlines for geopolitical reasons increase costs, emissions and time aboard, and could be anticompetitive.

“…However, at this stage, a significant number of enterprises are using accounting systems, instead of using more powerful and efficient financial and economic management systems [19,20]. In addition to its primary functions, the company's financial and economic management system should incorporate a mechanism for managing financial security that encompasses planning, organization, regulation, incentivization, and control [21][22][23][24][25].…”

For Kazakh airlines, the issue of using information technologies (IT) is relevant and complex, since the increased competition and partially identical business practices by companies in the same industry force the accelerated implementation of such technologies in their activities. It is necessary to consider and systematize information technologies and systems used by leading air carriers in order to structure them and determine the formats of their use in airlines. The methodological framework of the study consists of the dialectical, system, and historical approaches, fundamental provisions of economic theory, the theory of information economy and innovative development, and studies conducted by scientists-economists devoted to the development of the information society and the problems of company functioning in the information economy. As a result, the investment project assessment for the implementation of information technologies was calculated, which clearly demonstrated the capabilities of such systems as a tool for improving competitiveness, and proved their fast payback period and positive impact on the company.

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.
