This study investigates how resilience and multidimensional happiness at work (HAW), comprising work engagement, job satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment, contribute to grit among employees in high-pressure service environments. Drawing on Fredrickson’s Broaden-and-Build Theory, we test a model using data collected in 2024 from 293 employees at an international airport in Cyprus. Structural equation modeling reveals that resilience significantly enhances both grit and all three HAW dimensions. Among them, affective commitment emerged as a key mediator linking resilience to grit, while job satisfaction showed a surprising negative effect on grit. These findings highlight the importance of fostering eudaimonic rather than purely hedonic well-being to build sustainable motivation in emotionally demanding roles. Our results contribute to the sustainable work and well-being literature by positioning resilience and commitment as psychological resources that support organizational adaptability and long-term employee performance. This study offers actionable insights for leadership, HR strategy, and the promotion of sustainable workplace cultures, particularly in aviation and airport operations, where employee well-being directly impacts safety, service quality, and crisis readiness.

This study examines the potential relationship between oil price fluctuations and airline profitability, focusing on Turkish Airlines (THY) from 2001 to 2022. The study uses wavelet analysis to explore the correlation between oil prices and the airline's profit and loss data, considering geopolitical factors and unexpected events that may affect airline operations. THY's financial performance is significantly impacted by oil price fluctuations in the short and medium term, while its long-term profitability remains stable. Strategic planning and intelligent fuel management, including hedging, are imperative to mitigate the effects of volatile oil prices on airline operations. The results of this study provide valuable insights for the airline industry, assisting in better-informed decision-making and contributing to future research. Wavelet analysis proves effective in uncovering complex relationships and trends, offering a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interactions between oil price changes and airline profitability.

The undertaking that this investigation seeks to embark upon pertains to the elucidation of the extent of legal cognizance concerning the operation of drones among the populace residing in the Girne vicinity of Northern Cyprus, particularly individuals who have attained the age of 18 years or older. By evaluating the levels of awareness within this demographic, this study aspires to furnish significant insights that may be of utility to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. It is postulated that the findings could potentially instigate modifications to prevailing regulations, while concurrently underscoring the necessity for strategies aimed at enhancing public awareness and compliance regarding drone legislation. In conjunction with the survey instrument, the responses of 396 participants were solicited through a battery of both close-ended and open-ended inquiries that pertained to drone-related legal stipulations, individual privacy statutes, data safeguarding laws, security protocols, restricted zones, and overarching drone regulations. The findings of this research reveal considerable deficiencies in the knowledge of specific regulatory frameworks and indicate a pronounced lack of awareness pertaining to the repercussions that may arise from violations of drone operational statutes. The survey results indicate that a notable 69% of participants were uninformed about how to access pertinent regulatory information, thus accentuating the critical need for improved mechanisms of information dissemination. Considering these findings, there remains an exigent requirement for a thorough educational initiative aimed at informing the public of their legal obligations and the requisite protocols for the safe operation of drones.

Bu çalışma, KKTC'ye uçan havayollarının yolculara sunduğu hizmetleri yolcular açısından değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. KKTC merkezli bir havayolunun olmaması, Türkiye merkezli Low Cost Carrier modeliyle uçan iki havayolunun pazara hakim olmasına neden olmuştur. Sektörde sadece bu iki havayolunun verdiği hizmetler baz alınarak bir değerlendirme yapılmış ve bu havayollarıyla uçuş tecrübesi olan 402 yolcuya anket uygulanmıştır. Ankette toplam 44 soru oluşturulmuş olup bu soruların 22'si hizmet beklentisini, diğer 22'si ise hizmet algısını ölçmek için tasarlanmıştır. Yolcuların hizmet beklentileri ve algıları Servqual Ölçeği yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuca göre müşterilerin hizmet algısı müşteri beklentilerinin altında kalmıştır. Havayollarının müşteri memnuniyetini sağlayabilmesi için hizmet kalitesini gözden geçirmesi ve hizmet kalitesini artıracak önlemler alması gerekmektedir. This study aimed to evaluate the services offered to passengers by airlines flying to the TRNC in terms of passengers. The absence of an airline based in the TRNC has caused two airlines to dominate the market, flying with the Turkey-based Low Cost Carrier model. An evaluation was made on the basis of the services provided by only these two airlines in the sector, and a survey was conducted on 402 passengers who had flight experience with these airlines. In the survey 44 question were generated; 22 of these questions were designed to measure service expectation and the other 22 were designed to measure service perception. The service expectations and perceptions of the passengers were analyzed with the Servqual Scale method. According to the result, service perception of customers remained below customer expectations. Airlines need to review their service quality and take measures to improve service quality in order to make costumer satisfaction.

Renewables have moved from the sidelines to the center of policy and investment. Evidence from IEA, IRENA, REN21, and recent studies shows steep cost drops in solar and wind, record capacity growth, and more jobs. Environmental gains (lower GHGs, cleaner air and water, smarter land use) come with economic and social upsides (jobs, energy security, rural access via decentralized systems). But real constraints persist: grid congestion, curtailment, flexibility gaps; high financing costs and regulatory uncertainty in emerging markets; supply chain risks; and community concerns over siting and land rights. The challenge has shifted from tech costs to system integration and governance—durable policies, markets that value flexibility, quicker permitting, and just transition tools. Priorities ahead: operating high VRE under extremes, long-duration storage and sector coupling (hydrogen, heat, industry), critical minerals and circularity, resilience to climate and cyber risks, and effective de-risking in the Global South.

There is a substantial degree of cooperation between two or more airlines in an alliance. Strategic alliances are formed for a variety of reasons. As a result of airline alliances (e.g., Star Alliance, Oneworld, Skyteam), airlines are able to increase profitability, reduce costs, and expand their flight networks. As part of its commitment to passengers, Turkish Airlines (hereinafter referred to as 'THY') offers flight check-in, baggage handling, a broad network, high-quality catering, in-flight comfort, and on-time departures and arrivals. An assessment of customer perceptions of THY's alliance was conducted to determine whether alliance strategies affected perceived service quality. Travelers who have flown with Turkish Airlines, the flag carrier of Turkey and a Star Alliance member, were surveyed to compare the impact of alliance strategies on service quality before and after joining the alliance. The survey was completed by 147 participants and analyzed using SPSS.
