The article is aimed at disclosing the essence and systematization of key features of integration processes in the field of air transport of the European Union, as well as in its relations with neighbouring countries, including Ukraine, which has intensified its actions on the way to the European Common Aviation Area. Based on using the systematic approach as well as methods of comparative law, logical and historical, the identification of the essence of the multilateral agreements and the systematization of their provisions made it possible to identify the patterns of development of European aviation integration and to highlight three clusters of international agreements which the EU uses to implement its external aviation policy.The assessment of the current state of implementation of the relevant EU Directives and Regulations into the legislation of Ukraine in detail for each specialized component showed directions for further development for integration into the European common aviation area.

항공 교통약자의 권리보호에 관한 고찰

The purpose of this paper is to examine the institutional arrangements in place to facilitate air travel for people with disabilities and other transportation disadvantaged populations as air transportation demand begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
 The paper is organized into three main sections. The first section is a theoretical review of the public nature of air transportation and the mobility rights of people with disabilities. In particular, it discusses how private commercial airlines, which are not operated by the state, are public, and furthermore, why the right to mobility of persons with disabilities should be guaranteed in air transportation.
 In the second paragraph, we reviewed the comparative legal framework for ensuring the right to mobility of persons with disabilities in air transportation. The regulations of ICAO and IATA were examined as international standards, and legislative examples of developed aviation countries such as the United States and the European Union were analyzed. Through this, we explored various ways to ensure the right to mobility of the air traffic disadvantaged by comparing international standards and cases from advanced countries.
 The third paragraph examines the provisions related to the air traffic disadvantaged in Korea's Aviation Business Act and its implementing regulations, and suggests future revisions.
 Air transportation plays an important role as a means of transportation for the entire society. However, the transportation disadvantaged, especially people with disabilities, face many difficulties in using air transportation services. Since it is difficult to solve these problems through legal amendments alone, it is necessary to recognize the public nature of air transportation and make efforts to ensure the rights and interests of the transportation disadvantaged based on this.
 From a theoretical perspective, this paper explored the reasons why air transportation is public and why it is necessary to prevent the exclusion of the disadvantaged. From a practical perspective, it investigated what legal measures developed countries are taking to protect the disadvantaged in the field of air transportation and tried to suggest ways for Korea to realize the rights and interests of the disadvantaged more effectively. This paper is expected to raise awareness of the theoretical and practical solutions for the protection of the disadvantaged in air transportation and contribute to the improvement of domestic policies and systems.

CHILE: HOW TO BECOME AN ECONOMIC STAR OF THE PACIFIC REGION?

Chile is the state actor that became the regional power to be reckoned with despite a relatively small population and tense geopolitical relations with three neighbours – Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia, – while the pecularities of the national topography make the task of economic development considerably harder. Moreover, at the first sight, the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet with its notorious repressions hardly could lure foreign investors. The article explains which commodities and services helped the country to reach one of the highest per capita levels in South America The authors focus on the specific features of Chile’s geopolitical location by highlighting key points of its political and economic interactions with Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru, and also identify important segments of the state’s tourism business which turn it into a significant point of cultural and tourist development in the Latin American region. In this vein, the importance of cooperation between Chile and other states in the region in the field of air transportation is emphasized, since this collaboration allows them to actually dominate the airspace and establish numerous tourist and cargo transportations. The importance of mining which allows Chile establishing cooperation with other regional actors in this sector is emphasized. In addition, the authors highlight the sphere of agriculture where Chilean farmers emphasize fishing, fruit growing and wine production, as well as the subsequent export of these goods abroad due to the small consumption capacity of the domestic market. Considering Chile’s foreign policy interactions with external partners, the authors stress the importance of cooperation with China and the US. These states are noted to have a significant influence on the development of the Chilean economy because they cooperate with it in all critically important sectors. However, the uncontrolled growth of Chinese import flows and the excessive presence of Chinese multinational corporations in the territory of Chile cause certain concerns both in Chile and on the part of the United States. Nevertheless, the authors conclude that the state’s balanced economic policy in the region allowed Chile to gain a worthy place in the economic structure of Latin American trade and increase the pace of its own development.

Prospects of development of Ukrainian air transport regulation

The world transport system is unthinkable without aviation. Currently, there is a positive trend in the field of air transportation, and the role of aviation on a global scale cannot be overestimated. Today our state is in a state of war, but we can claim that Ukraine has significant potential for the development of the aviation market. Before the war, the passenger air transportation market had the highest growth rates among all modes of transport in Ukraine. Such prospects are due, first of all, to significant unmet demand for air transportation, as well as a favorable geographical location for the development of transit transportation. At the same time, the development of instruments for regulating the industry at the national level is of particular importance. This article is devoted to finding ways to improve the legislative and regulatory framework of air transport.

Air transport development trends were disrupted as a result of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the emergence of a global pandemic. During this difficult period, the largest drop in the number of air passengers in history occurred. For example, in 2020, compared to 2019, there was a global decrease in the number of passengers in air transport by 60% and in Poland by 70%. Temporary restrictions were introduced, related to, inter alia, the cancellation of flights from countries with a high incidence rate, a mandatory SARS-CoV-2 virus test or a quarantine order upon arrival. The main aim of the study was to present the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on passenger traffic at Polish airports. Attempts were made to obtain answers to the following questions: (1) what were the changes in the number of passengers served in Poland before and during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) what actions/restrictions were taken in the field of air transport in the face of an increased number of COVID-19 cases; and (3) how has the SARS-CoV-2 virus affected airports and air carriers in Poland. The research was based on the statistical data of: the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Eurostat, Eurocontrol, and the Polish Central Statistical Office. The study presents the situation as of the end of 2021.

Deep Learning Architecture for Flight Flow Spatiotemporal Prediction in Airport Network

Traffic flow prediction is a significant component for the new generation intelligent transportation. In the field of air transportation, accurate prediction of airport flight flow can help airlines schedule flights and provide a decision-making basis for airport resource allocation. With the help of Deep Learning technology, this paper focuses on the characteristics of flight flow easily disturbed by environmental factors, studies the spatiotemporal dependence between flight flows, and predicts the spatiotemporal distribution of flight flows from the airport network level. We proposed a deep learning architecture named ATFSTNP, which combining the residual neural network (ResNet), graph convolutional network (GCN), and long short-term memory (LSTM). Based big data analytics of air traffic management, this method takes the spatiotemporal causal relationship between weather impact and flight flow as the core, and deeply mines the complex spatiotemporal relationship of flight flow. The model’s methodologies are improved from the practical application level, and extensive experiments conducted on the China’s flight operation dataset. The results illustrate that the improved model has significant advantages in predicting the flight flow under weather affect. Even in the complex and variable external environment, the model can still accurately predict the spatiotemporal distribution of the airport network flight flow, with strong robustness.

Legionella and Air Transport: A Study of Environmental Contamination.

Introduction: There is growing interest in the public health and transport sectors in research into exposure to biological hazards, considering not only the risks arising from inter-human contagion, but also those related to exposure to the flight environment itself. The aim of this paper is to report data from an investigation into the water and air-conditioning systems of commercial aircraft for the presence of Legionella contamination, with a total of 645 water samples taken during the period 2007–2021. Methods: The investigation involved 126 aircraft of six different commercial aircraft types: MD80, Airbus A320 F, Embraer 175/190, AIRBUS A330, Boeing 767 and Boeing 777. Water samples were taken from the water systems (toilet taps, galley and boilers). Each sample was preliminarily subjected to an evaluation of the following parameters: temperature, pH and residual chlorine. The ScanVit® Legionella kit was used for bacteria detection and enumeration. Results: Samples were considered positive if the number of colony-forming units/liter (CFU/L) was >100. For the entire observation period, 45% of the investigated aircraft tested positive. Regarding the overall number of samples analyzed, 68.4% (441/645) were below 100 CFU/L, and thus within the limits allowed by the Italian Guidelines. Conclusions: Water system contamination with Legionella in the air transport field is a real public health issue that should not be underestimated given the heavy passenger traffic. Infection should be considered an occupational risk to which crew members are exposed.

The state policy of ensuring the safety of aircraft in civil aviation is a set of goals, objectives, priorities, principles, strategic programs and planned measures developed and implemented by public authorities, which allows the state to achieve its goals in the aviation industry, using legal, economic, administrative and other methods and means of influence, based on available resources. The peculiarity of this public policy is that, first, it is closely linked to both foreign and domestic processes in the country; secondly, has a great influence on the development of all socio-economic
 relations; thirdly, it is provided by a system of public administration bodies headed by the head of state; fourth, it is quite dynamic and costly; fifth, it needs constant control and adjustment by the state. State regulation of flight safety of civil aircraft consists in the formation of state policy and development strategy, defining tasks, functions, conditions of state bodies and use of Ukrainian airspace, application of aviation security measures, adoption of mandatory aviation rules of Ukraine, state control over their implementation and establishing responsibility for their violation. Analysis of flight safety and aviation statistics in recent publications and studies.
 The results of the analysis of statistical data on aviation events that have occurred over the past six years indicate a significant deterioration in flight safety during aviation operations, both in absolute and relative accident rates.
 To increase the level of flight safety, public authorities and aviation entities should take effective measures to implement a safety management system in accordance with the requirements of ICAO, the European Aviation Safety Agency and the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) [4, с. 117].

Aviation Profiling Method Based on Deep Learning Technology for Emotion Recognition by Speech Signal

Abstract This paper proposes a method of automatic speaker-independent recognition of human psycho-emotional states by analyzing the speech signal based on Deep Learning technology to solve the problems of aviation profiling. For this purpose, an algorithm to classify seven human psycho-emotional states, including anger, joy, fear, surprise, disgust, sadness, and neutral state was developed. The algorithm is based on the use of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and Mel spectrograms as informative features of speech signals audio recordings. These informative features are used to train two deep convolutional neural networks on the generated dataset. The developed classifier testing on a delayed verification dataset showed that the metric for the multiclass fraction of correct answers’ accuracy is 0.93. The solution proposed in the paper can be in demand in human-machine interfaces creation, medicine, marketing, and in the field of air transportation.

A Methodology for Shuttle Scheduling in Airports That Ensures Mitigating Arriving Passenger Congestion Under Uncertain Demand

Passenger congestion at the airport is a topic of significance in the field of air transportation in our day. In this study, a three-phased methodology, which warrants mitigating arriving passenger congestion at the airport by scheduling shuttle vehicles even under uncertain passenger demand, is proposed. In the first phase, monthly demands are forecast via an appropriate model from the family of noncausal methods. In the second phase, monthly forecasts are allocated throughout the whole day; then those forecasts are converted into uncertain parameters. In the last phase, a robust counterpart approach is employed to create a schedule for shuttle vehicles, which is absolutely immunized against uncertain demand. Istanbul Ataturk Airport is addressed for the case study. According to the simulation results, it is concluded that shuttle schedules, which are perfectly immunized against uncertainty in arriving passenger demand, are achieved by incurring reasonable increase in total operating cost.

Implementation of Knowledge Alliance in Air Transport into Educational System of Slovak Republic

The paper is focused on analysing the creation process of a new master study program “Information Technologies Applied in Aviation” (ITAA) as a response to the growing need for education process improvement in the field of air transport. For global aviation education it was important to develop and create such an international teamwork of professionals from aviation industry to realistically address proposed changes suggested by academia involved in our survey research. We found necessary to adapt learning programs and teaching methods to the needs of future working generations (e.g., Millennials). Undeniably, millennials generation is generally characterized by an increased use and familiarity with digital technologies. To meet the learning needs of these future generations, teachers need to shift from traditional teaching methods and adopt educational approaches that are more in line with the way students learn these days. The creation of Knowledge Alliance in Air Transport that managed to analyse the global market of occupations and qualifications in the field of air transport became a solution to this issue. ITAA study program has been based on the results of qualification analyses, on the list of current occupations, as well as on future occupations in the aviation sector. In order to begin with the implementation process of this new program, a new methodology was required for the sectoral qualification’s framework and the recognition of prior learning and work experience in aviation. ITAA contains these elaborated new teaching methods.
