Abstract
The main purpose of the study is to investigate existing available literature for determining of relevant factors that have cause and effects on the ensuring of aircraft maintenance efficiency in the aviation industry in Oman. Therefore, the study uses available sources of existing literature based on the four main keywords ‘aircraft maintenance efficiency’, ‘aircraft maintenance and resource management attributes ‘or ‘effective planning and aircraft maintenance, and ‘internal control and aircraft maintenance, etc., and explored to covers from Google Scholar, ProQuest, and Scopus, and other online resources. The study also justified of above summary literature gap by the most relevant theories such as stakeholder, agency, and resource-based theories accordingly. Based on this extensive review, the study developed a conceptual framework, where effective planning and internal control have moderating role on the relationship between the resource management attributes and aircraft maintenance efficiency in the aviation industry in the sultanate of Oman. The summary review findings of the study will fill the gap in the existing body knowledge especially prime factors affecting the attainment of aircraft maintenance efficiency, resource management attributes, effective planning and ‘internal control and aircraft maintenance in the aviation industry in the sultanate of Oman. The study recommends to justify this conceptual framework by empirical data from the in the aviation industry in the sultanate of Oman and draw a policy guideline for ensuring of determining of relevant factors that have cause and effects on the ensuring of aircraft maintenance efficiency in the aviation industry in Oman.
Highlights
Aircraft maintenance facilities is one of the very essential factor to enhance the aircraft productivities those facilities such as spears, human, and financial add to that the organizational factors in which will help to make the maintenance more efficient and safe because the safety is the priority part in maintenance in which the organization should take in consideration(Bowen, 2013)
REVIEW FINDINGS OF THE STUDY Empirical Reviews Many studies done by the previous researchers provided several theories that contributed extensively to maintenance resource management. (Miles, 2012) mentioned that since the late 1700s, scholars have talked about the issue of corporate proprietors contracting others as stewards of their riches
Initiating the effective usage of aircraft maintenance resources for minimizing the downtime or the aircraft being on the ground for a long time should be considered as one of the critical works in the aviation industry
Summary
Aircraft maintenance facilities is one of the very essential factor to enhance the aircraft productivities those facilities such as spears, human, and financial add to that the organizational factors in which will help to make the maintenance more efficient and safe because the safety is the priority part in maintenance in which the organization should take in consideration(Bowen, 2013). Historical development of aviation industries in Oman Oman’s civil aviation was started in the year 1929 with a small airstrip made in Muscat. In 1960’s Gulf Air started to operate its DC3 commercial flights to Oman. The Sultanate of Oman became a member of the international Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in the year 1973. A new airport was built at Salalah and OAS started operating regular domestic flights from Muscat to Salalah. The real development of Oman’s civil aviation started when Oman Aviation Services (OAS) became Oman Air in the year 1993 and started to operate international services to Dubai and India. In the year 1996 Oman Joined the Arab Civil Aviation Organisation (ACAO) and in 1998 Oman Joined International Air Transport Association (IATA). Airports were built in Adam, Butabul ,Buraimi , Dibba Al-Baya , Duqm , Fahud , Qarn Al Alam , Haima , Ibra, Ibri, Khasab , Lekhwair , Marmul , Mukhaizna , Nizwa , Ras al Hadd , Rustaq , Saiq , Salalah, Sohar , Sur and Yibal
