Research on the Dynamic Evolution Mechanism of Airline Operation Support Capabilities in the Post-Pandemic Era

Abstract

To tackle the evolving dynamics of operational support capabilities for airlines in the post-pandemic landscape and to effectively improve these capabilities, a system dynamics model was devised to delineate the intricate interplay among internal factors affecting aviation operational support. This model acts as the groundwork for understanding the dynamic evolution of these capabilities. Following the model’s analysis and development, case studies from S Airlines were incorporated and tested, confirming that insufficient operational support capabilities restrict airline growth. Four investment plans designed to boost airline operational support were comparatively evaluated to ensure airlines can scale while accommodating new support requirements. VENSIM software was utilized to simulate and assess these models, selecting the investment strategy offering the greatest overall return to enhance operational support for airlines.
