In the era of data-driven warfare, the integration of big data and machine learning (ML) techniques has
become paramount for enhancing defence capabilities. This research report delves into the applications of
big data and ML in the defence sector, exploring their potential to revolutionize intelligence gathering,
strategic decision-making, and operational efficiency. By leveraging vast amounts of data and advanced
algorithms, these technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for threat detection, predictive analysis,
and optimized resource allocation. However, their adoption also raises critical concerns regarding data
privacy, ethical implications, and the potential for misuse. This report aims to provide a comprehensive
understanding of the current state of big data and ML in defence, while examining the challenges and
ethical considerations that must be addressed to ensure responsible and effective implementation.
Cloud Computing, being one of the most recent innovative developments of the IT world, has been
instrumental not just to the success of SMEs but, through their productivity and innovative contribution to
the economy, has even made a remarkable contribution to the economic growth of the United States. To
this end, the study focuses on how cloud computing technology has impacted economic growth through
SMEs in the United States. Relevant literature connected to the variables of interest in this study was
reviewed, and secondary data was generated and utilized in the analysis section of this paper. The findings
of this paper revealed that there have been meaningful contributions that the usage of virtualization has
made in the commercial dealings of small firms in the United States, and this has also been reflected in the
economic growth of the country. This paper further revealed that as important as cloud-based software is,
some SMEs are still skeptical about how it can help improve their business and increase their bottom line
and hence have failed to adopt it. Apart from the SMEs, some notable large firms in different industries,
including information and educational services, have adopted cloud computing technology and hence
contributed to the economic growth of the United States. Lastly, findings from our inferential statistics
revealed that no discernible change has occurred in innovation between small and big businesses in the
adoption of cloud computing. Both categories of businesses adopt cloud computing in the same way, and
their contribution to the American economy has no significant difference in the usage of virtualization.

Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) are computer-based tutoring systems that deal with
linguistic skills. Adding intelligence in such systems is mainly based on using Natural Language
Processing (NLP) tools to diagnose student errors, especially in language grammar. However, most such
systems do not consider the modeling of student competence in linguistic skills, especially for the Arabic
language. In this paper, we will deal with basic grammar concepts of the Arabic language taught for the
fourth grade of the elementary school in Egypt. This is through Arabic Grammar Trainer (AGTrainer)
which is an Intelligent CALL. The implemented system (AGTrainer) trains the students through different
questions that deal with the different concepts and have different difficulty levels. Constraint-based student
modeling (CBSM) technique is used as a short-term student model. CBSM is used to define in small grain
level the different grammar skills through the defined skill structures. The main contribution of this paper
is the hierarchal representation of the system's basic grammar skills as domain knowledge. That
representation is used as a mechanism for efficiently checking constraints to model the student knowledge
and diagnose the student errors and identify their cause. In addition, satisfying constraints and the number
of trails the student takes for answering each question and fuzzy logic decision system are used to
determine the student learning level for each lesson as a long-term model. The results of the evaluation
showed the system's effectiveness in learning in addition to the satisfaction of students and teachers with its
features and abilities.

using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

ABSTRACT
The airport collaborative decision-making (A-CDM) network brings together airports, airlines, and air
navigation service providers to share timely and accurate information in order to facilitate optimal
decision-making, plan operations and improve air traffic management. Research found that aviation
service quality can be improved by integrating the A-CDM network and SERVQUAL together with Kano’s
model to enhance service quality and improve network operational efficiency. The theory and methods of
the A-CDM network combined with information technology and process innovation can maximise the
serviceability of the aviation industry to improve network operation at the airport concerned.

Airport collaborative decision-making (A-CDM), SERVQUAL, Kano’s model, service quality, aviation
industry network operations
1. INTRODUCTION
The aviation industry plays a vital role in air transportation, affecting customers and economic
growth both directly and indirectly. Air transportation enhances quality of life by enabling the
movement of people and products all over the globe quickly and safely. Customer loyalty in the
aviation industry is influenced by customer satisfaction, which leads to growth and maximises
profitability. Service quality can be defined as the extent to which a service meets customers’
needs or expectations [1]. It can also be defined as the difference between customers’
expectations of a service and the perceived service. Service quality in the aviation industry
impacts on increasing passenger demand and profitability, and through new and repeat purchases
from more loyal passengers [2].
Over the years, the aviation industry has grown rapidly and this trend is continuing. The service
quality impact of aviation is an important consideration with regard to airline operations, airport
operations, and air traffic management caused by facility and airspace capacity. Increased
capacity, efficiency and improvement of the aviation industry are the main goals. This creates an
important supply and demand for the airport facilities and airspace capacity utilised by airlines.
Outstanding airport facilities such as terminal buildings, aircraft parking areas, runways, taxiways
and airspace capacity all support and enhance airline service.
The introduction of airport collaborative decision-making, or A-CDM, in the aviation industry
aims to improve airline operational efficiency by integrating resources and operational data of
airlines, airports and the air traffic management network with innovative processes. A-CDM is an

important practical aspect of the aviation industry that is applied to improve airline, airport and
air traffic management. A-CDM is a key factor that enhances all aspects of the airline industry.
The airport slot coordinator will envisage how many additional slots can be approved; the airline
operator will calculate how many flights can be scheduled based on passenger demand; and the
air traffic control unit is responsible for developing suitable techniques to maximise the airport
runway capacity together with the surrounding airspace. At the same time, the aviation ground
handling equipment unit will utilise its resources adequately and service however many
additional aircraft it can with the resources that it has available. This will lead to increased airline
service quality through improved operational efficiency in the aviation industry.
The purpose of A-CDM is to improve the aviation industry network together with airport
operational standards, and that has an impact on the airline turnaround process during preparation
of the pre-flight phase. It also impacts on the aircraft take off phase and the approach for landing
phase. A-CDM is primarily concerned with the effective operational network of airlines, airports
and air traffic management. Consequently, the aim of A-CDM is to improve air traffic flow and
capacity management by taking effective steps to reduce aircraft taxi times and turnaround times,
which directly translate into economic benefits and improved environment-friendly conditions.
However, due to the diverse composition of many actors in the network, the assessment of
overall turnaround performance relies on the A-CDM network that includes airport and airlines
management, air navigation service providers for air traffic management, and agency handing for
ground operations at the airport concerned.
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The A-CDM network purposes to improve aviation operational efficiency by reducing airport
delays, improving the predictability of events during the progress of a flight, and optimising the
utilisation of resources [3]. In order to support A-CDM network accomplishment, the network
participants need to co-operate with up-to-date and accurate information through network
operation procedures along with automatic processes, and a user-friendly network should be
adopted and followed. According to Ghosh et al., one factor to help achieve optimal efficiency is
the aircraft as the key connecting element between aviation industry stakeholders such as airlines,
airports, air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and manufacturers [4].
According to the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation [5], the principle of A-CDM is to
put in place agreed cross-collaborative processes including network communication protocols,
training, procedures, tools, regular meetings and information sharing, which moves ATM
operations from stovepipe decision-making into a collaborative management process that
improves overall system performance and benefits the individual stakeholders.
2.1. Participants Concerned in Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM)
Airline Operator: One of the main operating costs of an airline is the fuel consumed by the
aircraft in all phases of the flight. While still on the ground, the engines start up and fuel is
consumed, which impacts on cost. Without proper A-CDM arrangements, flight delays will
increase the airline cost through the additional allocation of manpower to deal with the non-
alignment of services. In some cases, flight cancellations may occur due to inadequate and
untimely aircraft rotation, leading to an increase in airline operating costs. Airlines are faced with
reduced flexibility and increased congestion at airports. This manifests as lost business and,
inevitably, higher costs.

Airport Operator: Airport congestion can also result in increased costs as this negatively affects
the airline companies through loss of reputation and image because of unsatisfied passengers.
Airport revenues come primarily from departure and arrival costs related to airline flight
schedules. Inefficient air traffic coordination can lead to airport congestion and cause flight
delays, and this, in turn, leads to loss of income. Also, regarding the performance dimension,
irregular and inconsistent coordination leads to reduced operational efficiency, with the knock-on
effect of asymmetrical capacity utilisation and unnecessary reallocation of flights, resulting in
extra and unplanned costs for the airline operator.
Air Traffic Control Unit: A-CDM accomplishment could lead to increased efficiency of air traffic
control (ATC) with enhanced responsibility for any adverse weather conditions, runway
limitations, and other unforeseen emergency situations that many occur. Lack of coordination
could result in a reduction in air traffic predictability, and this will inevitably impact on the
operational efficiency of the ATC and manifest as a slower response rate to counter any adverse
situation. ATC could face a loss in revenue from the inability to pass additional traffic through an
already congested airport.
Air Traffic Control Unit: A-CDM accomplishment could lead to increased efficiency of Air
Traffic Control (ATC) with enhanced responsibility for any adverse weather conditions, runway
limitations and other unforeseen emergency situations that many occur. Lack of coordination
could result in a reduction in air traffic predictability and this will inevitably impact on
operational efficiency of the ATC and manifest as a slower response rate to counter any adverse
situation. ATCs could face loss in revenues from their inability to pass additional traffic through
an already congested airport.
2.2. A-CDM in Aviation Industry Operational Concept Model
The operational concept of A-CDM in the aviation industry is a process and network to identify
information sharing, trust and collaboration as three participants in A-CDM at airports. In view of
ATC, A-CDM information sharing replaces the “first come, first served” principle with the “best
planned, best served” principle, and this is supported by pre-departure procedures. The aircraft
ground handling unit can estimate accurate off-block and on-block times to accurately predict
pre-departure sequencing from ATC [6]. Information sharing also makes it possible for the
approach to be achieved through confirmations in the flight plan. Accurate information exchange
is also vital for the air navigation service provider (ANSP) to allow usage of space for departing
and arriving flights. For A-CDM participants in the aviation industry, real-time information
through the network is important for effective cooperation between each of the separate
functions.
The activities of airlines and airports are complementary in nature, but the industry is in need of
better coordination between all the aviation partners, including airport operators, ground
handling, crew coordination, airlines and air traffic controllers, if operational efficiency is to be
achieved. A-CDM enables the partners to share information and work together more efficiently
and transparently with the common goal of improved overall performance, bringing a universal
situational awareness between all partners involved, as well as refining the processes and
information flow, as shown in Fig. 1.

2.3. Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM) Processes and Information
Exchange Network
Implementation of A-CDM key activities involves information sharing and network integration
across the participants, being the airline operator, airport operator and air traffic control unit
cooperative [3]. The five phases of network integration are as follows.
Phase I: Streamlining Information Sources
This phase looks at integrating and centralising information flows within the air travel value
chain. Key tasks revolve around defining a data integration strategy and conducting an AS-IS
analysis of existing IT systems in order to create a streamlined, integrated IT foundation.
Phase II: Turnaround Performance Improvement
Here the focus is on improving the efficiency of the turnaround process. Key tasks for this phase
include mapping the AS-IS turnaround process, identifying key milestones, and assigning timing
and priority of updates along key milestones.
Phase III: Transparency in Sequencing
This phase promotes a more efficient and egalitarian sequencing process for flight management.
Key activities include mapping the AS-IS taxi time calculation and sequencing process, at the
same time identifying various parties and factors that influence taxi time and sequencing. There
may also be a need to evaluate software solutions that can analyse all influencing factors to
calculate more accurate taxi times.
Phase IV: Dynamic Take-off Predictability
Phase IV looks to improve take-off predictability both at the current airport and in the broader air
travel network. Priority activities during this phase include building data flows from turnaround
5. International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 15, No 1, February 2023
73
and sequencing processes to calculate more accurate take-off times. This information is shared
with the central flow management unit (CFMU).
Phase V: Business Continuity Planning
The final phase focuses on preparing for contingencies and/or emergencies by building a business
continuity plan. The key task in this phase is to establish disaster recovery and business
contingency plans for all IT and information sharing platforms at an airport.
2.4. SERVQUAL and Kano’s Model Integrated to Analysis in A-CDM network
An airline company can obtain a leading market share through offering superior service quality
with an understanding of competitive advantages in the airline business. According to the
information, processes and system exchange in A-CDM, the aviation industry, including airline
operation processes such as pre-flight, in-flight service and post-flight service, can be assessed
for service quality improvement. Gronross [1] and Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and Berry [7]
developed a disconfirmation measurement called the GAP model. The SERVQUAL instrument is
used to measure service quality and its five dimensions. The five dimensions are tangibles,
reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy, containing 22 scales. Airline service quality is
an important factor and should be evaluated. The RATER model of SERVQUAL with 22 criteria
has been proposed as one method to measure airline industry service quality [8]. Service
processes in the airline industry, including reservation and ticketing, check-in, boarding the
aircraft, in-flight service and post-flight service, can all be assessed for service quality
improvement.
The various service quality definitions can be formulated from the customers’ perspective and
what customers perceive to be important dimensions of quality. Service characteristics cannot be
produced in advance; the quality of service must exceed customers’ expectations and service
quality outcome is also important. Customers’ satisfaction will influence their loyalty, and
growth and maximised profitability are primarily stimulated by customer loyalty. There is a
complexity of service quality in the airline industry that is different from other service industries
and includes comfortable seating, the ticketing and check-in process, the in-flight atmosphere,
baggage service and arrival service at the destination [9].

Airline service quality measurement based on SERVQUAL and Kano’s model [10]
Kano’s model was developed in 1984 by Dr Noriaki Kano and his colleagues. The model
identified customer requirements and areas of service or product improvement by examining the
nonlinear relationship between service performance and customer satisfaction [11]. To be applied
in airport service, Kano’s model distinguishes three types of service requirement.
A = Attractive requirements. Attractive requirements are neither explicitly expressed nor
expected by the passenger. Fulfilling these requirements leads to more than proportional
satisfaction. If they are not met, however, there is no feeling of dissatisfaction. These
requirements are the product or service criteria that have the greatest influence on how satisfied a
passenger will be with a given service.
M = Must-have requirements. A passenger regards the must-have requirements as prerequisites:
he or she takes them for granted and therefore does not explicitly. These are basic service criteria
applied in airport service. The passenger will be extremely dissatisfied if must-have requirements
in service are not fulfilled to their expectation. On the other hand, as the passenger takes these
requirements for granted, their fulfilment will not increase his satisfaction. Airport service
fulfilling the must-have requirements will only lead to a state of not being dissatisfied.
O = One-dimensional requirements. With regard to these requirements, passenger satisfaction is
proportional to the level of fulfilment: the higher the level of fulfilment, the higher the
passenger’s satisfaction, and vice versa. These requirements are usually explicitly demanded by
the passenger.
7. International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 15, No 1, February 2023
75
I = Indifferent quality. Whether the airport service is present to passenger or not. The passenger
is not very interested on this service.
R = Reverse quality. This reverse airport service quality has no passenger desires and
expectations.
Fig. 2. Kano’s excitement and basic quality model [10]
Based on Kano’s excitement and basic quality model, the customer satisfaction (CS) formula is
applied to indicate the qualitative values of the customer satisfaction index. According to Fig. 2,
Ankur and colleagues [11] identified the CS coefficient measures of qualitative values of
customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Attractive quality separates Kano's service requirements
into must-have requirements (M), one-dimensional requirements (O), attractive requirements (A),
indifferent quality (I) and reverse quality (R).
The passenger satisfaction coefficients formulae are as follows.
SI: Satisfaction index formula
DI: Dissatisfaction index formula
2.5. A-CDM and Airport Service Quality Improvement Analysis
The analysis has been conducted based on SERVQUAL and Kano’s model as in the research by
Jeeradist, Thawesaengskulthai, and Sangsuwan [10] [11]. The systematic approach to service
quality improvement has been developed based on SERVQUAL and Kano’s model. The purpose
is to improve service quality at the airport through attractive quality in terms of passenger
satisfaction, integrating SERVQUAL and Kano’s model.

service quality

The research conceptual framework shown in Fig. 3 was developed based on SERVQUAL and
Kano’s model in Jeeradist, Thawesaengskulthai, and Sangsuwan’s [10] past research. The
literature review studied the case of service quality failure caused by severe weather conditions at
the airport terminal service. In the interests of safety, flights are unable to operate in severe
weather conditions, and so cancellation or delaying the flight to await improved weather is the
best practice for airline operations.
3. SYSTEM MODEL
The research framework was developed by integrating A-CDM and five dimensions of the
SERVQUAL and Kano’s model forming part of this study. The research was conducted through
personal interviews, focus group interviews, and direct or participatory observation with the
population, which consisted of aviation personnel including airline flight operations officers,
airport operational staff, air traffic controllers and passengers with experience of the service in
the aviation industry. The methodology for collecting data and systems analysis is shown in Fig.

The research framework shown in Fig. 3 was developed based on the proposed integrated A-
CDM network, SERVQUAL and Kano’s model to enhance the aviation industry service quality.
The systematic research approach to the aviation industry proposed service improvement with
attractive quality development based on A-CDM and SERVQUAL to enhance the aviation
industry service quality.
3.2. Empirical Processes in Aviation Industry Service Quality Improvement
The qualitative method and questionnaire were based on the A-CDM network and SERVQUAL’s
five dimensions as the RATER model. These included reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy
and responsiveness, with 22 attributes that defined service quality as the degree of discrepancy
between aviation industry participants’ expectations and their perception of the service
performance they received [1] [7]. Both group and individual interviews were conducted,
together with direct or participatory observations of aviation industry participants, which
included aviation industry employees and customers. The questionnaire was developed following
testing and revision of the A-CDM and SERVQUAL models by formulating questions on the
service attributes to gain feedback from aviation industry employees, as shown in Fig. 5.

4. PROPOSED METHOD
This qualitative research has been developed through study of the five dimensions of the
SERVQUAL, personal interviews, focus group interviews, and direct or participatory observation
of the population that consists of airline passengers and airport and airline staff who have
experienced the services in the airport terminal. The methodology for collecting the data includes
the literature review and the historical case study.
4.1. Analysis of Airline Service Quality Improvement
The research framework proposed for airport terminal service improvement with the service
criteria as shown in Fig. 1 was developed based on SERVQUAL and the five dimensions of the
RATER model [10]. The purpose is to improve the passenger experience by using airport
terminal service criteria for the measurement of airport service quality with a passenger
satisfaction survey method.
4.2. Empirical Case Study of Airport Terminal Service Quality to Improve the
Passenger Experience
The case study focuses on the service quality failures caused by airport congestion due to severe
weather conditions. In the interests of safety, flights are unable to operate in severe weather
conditions; thus, cancellation or the delay of flights in order to await improved weather is the best
practice for airline operations. The survey was conducted with a questionnaire based on
SERVQUAL and the five dimensions of the RATER model as shown in Table 2.

5. RESULTS
The data in Table 2 and Fig. 6 show the results based on the airport terminal service quality
measurement with SERVQUAL, the five dimensions of the RATER model and the 22 criteria.
The satisfaction index (SI) and dissatisfaction index (DI) have been calculated based on customer
surveys. The problem identification is as follows.
1) The responsiveness evaluation shows that the service code R3 has the lowest DI at -72
and concerns the courtesy of the ground handling staff. The highest SI code is R1 at 81
and concerns solving flight delay problems.
2) The assurance evaluation shows that the service code A9 has the lowest DI at -89 and
concerns employees’ prompt handling of flight delays. The SI code is A4 at 82, which
refers to airport safety operations.
3) The tangibility evaluation shows that service code T13 has the lowest DI at -79 and
concerns the quality of the ground support equipment and facilities. The highest SI code
is T12 at 92, which concerns the appearance of the airport staff.
4) The empathy evaluation shows that service code E14 has the lowest DI at -89 and
concerns employees providing individual attention to passengers. The highest SI code is
E17, which is that the airport handling includes modern equipment and facilities.
5) The reliability evaluation shows that service code RE22 has the lowest DI at -89 and
concerns airport staff performing accurate service procedures during an irregularity. The
highest SI code is RE20 at 91 and concerns airport operations supporting flights being on
time.
In the interest of airport terminal service quality improvement in order to meet passengers’
expectations of the implementation of airport terminal service criteria, future research may use
Kano’s model of attractive requirements, which allows problem solving by fulfilling these
requirements in airport service quality criteria with reference to SERVQUAL and the five
dimensions of the RATER model. This includes the evaluation of responsiveness, which shows
that service code R3 (concerning the courtesy of the ground handling staff) is lowest on the DI,
and R1 scores highest on the SI: this concerns solving flight delay problems. Furthermore, the
evaluation of assurance shows that service code A9 (employees’ prompt handling of flight
delays) is lowest on the DI, and A4 (airport safety operations) is highest on the SI. The tangibility
evaluation shows that service code T13 has the lowest DI (concerning the quality of the ground
support equipment and facilities), whereas the highest SI is code T12, the appearance of airport
staff. The empathy evaluation shows that the service code E14 has the lowest DI (concerning
employees providing individual attention to passengers), and the highest SI is E17, which is that
airport handling includes modern equipment and facilities. The reliability evaluation shows that
the service code RE22 has the lowest DI (concerning airport staff performing accurate service
procedures in case of an irregularity), and the highest SI is RE20, indicating that the airport
operations support flights being on time. The criterion of attractive airport terminal service was
analysed and it was found that airport operators could provide extra services to support
passengers when the service failure is caused by flight delays or cancellation due to severe
weather conditions. In this case, extra service with alternative choices could help to improve
airport terminal service quality in terms of attractive service; therefore, airport operators should
arrange this extra service for passengers. This will fulfil passengers’ requirements and result in a
more attractive service.
In this paper, we have focused on the study and proposal of a conceptual framework of airport
terminal service quality criteria which is extended to airline passengers’ experience. The purpose
of service quality management is to achieve higher service quality with an attractive service
experience for passengers. Using study and discussion of the methodological issues encountered
12. International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 15, No 1, February 2023

in airport terminal services, measurement of the airline service impacts of extended scale, and
study and discussion of the empirical criteria in airport terminal services that affect airline service
quality and passengers’ experience, this paper presented the relationship of SERVQUAL and the
five dimensions of the RATER model with airport terminal services quality. The study shows that
a solution to each of the criteria in airport terminal services should be found in order to facilitate
improved serviceability in airport terminal services, as this is extremely important in aviation
industry service management. Also, airline passengers’ experience is related to the airport
terminal service quality improvement. The SERVQUAL and the five RATER model dimensions
conducted with 22 criteria can be applied to the relationship in order to support airport terminal
service quality improvement and enable airlines to improve the experience of their passengers.
6. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Airport collaborative decision-making, or A-CDM, is based on the network of service attractions
that participants in the aviation industry can expect to receive. There are many factors that may
affect aviation service, such as airport congestion due to weather conditions causing flights to be
delayed by air traffic management and the safety management system [10]. The processes for
service quality improvement in the aviation industry, the research framework and the network
analysis indicated that guideline criteria to measure service quality provided to participants can
improve the service goals of the aviation industry. The five dimensions of SERVQUAL [1] [7]
were integrated with A-CDM network to solve the problem and improve aviation industry service
quality and operational efficiency for participants. Understanding the SERVQUAL methods
applied to the aviation industry, together with comprehension of A-CDM to improve the aviation
industry service quality, is one pathway to attain top service quality for all participants in the A-
CDM network.
The qualitative research was conducted following the guidelines of developing the questionnaire,
testing and review, interviewing key aviation personnel as informants, calculating the results and
analysing problems in the case study by interviewing participants, focus groups, and observing
procedures in the aviation industry service [11]. The SERVQUAL model with 22 criteria and the
A-CDM network model were applied as guidelines to survey the aviation industry service
quality. The research framework and system analysis methodology were developed based on
problem solving of aviation industry service quality enhancement using Kano’s model [12] [13].
In conclusion, the purpose of this research was to study and propose a conceptual framework to
maximise service quality in the aviation industry by integrating the five dimensions of
SERVQUAL with A-CDM. The A-CDM network was applied as a tool to improve the aviation
industry service quality and link to attractive service improvement. The study showed that the
improvement of serviceability in the aviation industry is extremely important in aviation
management. Also, aviation industry conformance is related to attractive service quality.
Relationships between product dimensions and service quality criteria were applied to the
SERVQUAL model and A-CDM network to integrate and identify turnaround performance
improvements [14] that could be made in the aviation industry service quality measurement.
