Topic: Impact of aviation engineering on aircraft management
2.1 Introduction:
Airport scarcity and older aircraft has become a major issue in the aviation industry in
last five years. Due to excess rate of use in older aircraft accidents used to occur rapidly. In
addition, due to the presence of untrained airport personnel the aviation industry was facing
difficulties in maintaining their customer services effectively. In this kind of situation, the
aviation engineering has come forward for overcoming the issue by implementing corrosion
control strategies for visual and non-damaging inspections. After the implementation of aviation
engineering the aircraft managers has rendered immense control on their management process.
As a result, the rate of accidents and customer dissatisfaction level has been reduced. This
specific study has focused to make an in-depth overview the necessary risk control and
implementation system that aviation industry has implemented for controlling unexpected
accidents as well as customers’ dissatisfaction level.
2.2 Motivations for the research:
As stated by Torenbeek (2013), the rapid progress of globalization has rendered a strong
demand on the overall international airport transport. Politicians, business industrialists,
sportspersons even individuals leave a major craze towards aviation sector due to the high rate of
their demands. As per the scenario of last five years in the market of aviation sector the rate of
plane crash has been raised due to the use of older aircraft. In this kind of situation, the aviation
engineering department has implemented some of the major risk control strategies based on

which the customers are able to get latest aircraft along with operational efficiency. One of the
most effective ways of avoiding safety risk from older aircraft is to render new and aging aircraft
brands. It is highly necessary for the airliners for maximizing the modern day fleet of aircraft. As
per the current trend of fleet management old aircrafts are not removed from the entire airline
industry. Sampigethaya & Poovendra (2013) opined that management has maximized the
existence of providers. The protection managers have initiated technological obsolescence, new
technologies, flight operations and manufacturing sustainment. Older aircrafts generally fail to
update due to the reduced aid from producers who are not in the category of commercial
enterprise.
2.3 Significance of the Study:
As already been highlighted it has been observed that aviation industry is facing
innumerable challenges in maintaining their image and reputation due to the repeated occurrence
of accidents. As emphasized by Patron, Botez & Labour (2013) structural damages in the parts of
aircraft is one of the most significant reasons due to which aviation industry is facing immense
challenges in retaining their customer loyalty. After identifying this specific issue the aviation
technology has taken some of the major initiatives and risk implementation system for regaining
the image and recognition. This specific study has made an in-depth overview on how aviation
technology is implementing risk management system with the help of which customers tend to
show their satisfaction level in using the service of aviation industry. Jackson (2015) opined that
the chance of telegram failure in aircraft step-up has become one more significant issue due to
which accidents occur frequently. However, this specific research has focused to identify the
major issues that aviation industry is facing currently. The study has critically evaluated how
new aviation engineering technology can overcome aircraft hazards by improving structural

5RESEARCH PROJECT
concept of agency theory implies that the business managers before implementing risk control
system within aviation industry has focused to make an in-depth evaluation on how the
stakeholders can be attracted towards using the services of airline industry. In order to overcome
the risk factors the agency has implemented new technology for avoiding risks. Verhagen et al.
(2012) stated that the personnel within the aviation industry has been provided an effective
training session in order to enhance their professional skill and competency level. As a result,
customers do not have to feel insecure while using the services. This particular risk management
theory has been implemented in this specific study for making a good rapport with the
stakeholder so that stakeholders do not show their reluctant attitude in using the services.
2.7 Findings and application:
As a result, the rate of customer dissatisfaction is getting raised day by day. Henderson,
Martins & Perez (2012) opined that the business organizations have to face innumerable
difficulties for dealing with the customers effectively. In order to overcome this kind of crisis the
aviation technology has focused to implement corrosion control strategies for visual and non-
damaging inspections. Implementation of voice sensor is one of the most significant initiatives
for dealing with the situation effectively. The protection managers have initiated technological
obsolescence, new technologies, flight operations and manufacturing sustainment. As a result,
the rate of accidents has been checked. New technology has rendered a rapid growth on the
overall aviation industry. Customers have showed their positive outlook for use the services.
Ramasamy et al. (2013) stated that the industry personnel have enhanced their professional skill
and competency level. Automatically, the service providers and the service users share a good
rapport in between them. After the initiatives taken by aviation engineers the business
organizations have showed a positive result.
