Evaluating the Reporting and Safety Culture of an Airline According to Patankar and Sabin\u27s Safety Culture Pyramid
Get PDFAs a result of the literature review, it is seen that the safety management system in airline businesses is mostly evaluated with Reason\u27s just culture model. The fact that there is no research examining Patankar and Sabin\u27s (2010) safety culture pyramid on airline operations, except for a study conducted in the field of ground handling services (Poçar, Işık, & Durmaz, 2022), constitutes the importance and unique value of the research. As stated by Poçar et al. (2022), Patankar and Sabin\u27s (2010) safety culture pyramid is not sufficiently included in practice, and this model is important in terms of drawing attention to the impact of employees\u27 safe behaviors on safety culture. In this direction, the SMS instructions, reporting policies and SMS reports of the airline subject to the research were obtained as documents and analyzed. As another stage of the research, it was aimed to evaluate the SMS reports of the airline according to Patankar and Sabin\u27s safety culture pyramid. With this evaluation, content analysis was conducted to determine the step of the airline in the safety pyramid.
Unlike previous studies, this study is thought to contribute to the literature by explaining the relationship between reporting culture, safety culture and safety management system and evaluating the reporting in the organization according to Patankar and Sabin\u27s safety culture pyramid
Aircraft Turnaround Bottlenecks: Addressing Ground Handling Delays for Operational Excellence
Get PDFGround handling delays at major airports pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, airline schedules, and passenger satisfaction. This study explores the root causes of these delays, including resource constraints, operational inefficiencies, adverse weather, technical failures, and security issues. By examining case studies from major airports, the report identifies key solutions such as technology integration, infrastructure upgrades, staff training, standardized procedures, and enhanced communication systems. The findings underscore the importance of adopting proactive and collaborative approaches to optimize ground handling operations, ensuring smoother airport workflows and improved service delivery in the face of growing air traffic demands
