Özet:

The year 2020 was the year in which the biggest crisis in modern aviation history occurred, the year in which the demand for flights and passengers dropped most. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the airlines were forced to withdraw a large part of their aircraft from the flight and parked in various airports. In the study, the aviation industry has previously experienced the OPEC oil embargo, the September 11 events, SARS, MERS, Bird Flu epidemics, and the industry has been deeply focused on crises, in response to which the aviation companies have studied their outcome strategies from the crisis. Caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, the losses of the aviation sector have been reduced and the size of the crisis has been presented comparatively. The methods applied by the airlines to parked their aircraft, which are over-need, have been studied, the choice of location for aircraft that have to parked for a long time, the maintenance requirements have been included in the work. The traditional model (FSNC) airlines operating in Europe have been trained during the crisis. The example includes airlines from different countries that carry out the most passenger transportation. British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France and Turkish Airlines were considered as traditional airlines, and the situation of Pegasus Airlines in terms of reflection of the situation in Turkey was also analyzed. The study found that the airlines prefer the airports where their main centers are primarily for parking, and that the airlines with multiple centers are parking to the line centers. At the beginning of the crisis, the companies most affected by the ban seemed to be Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines but the airline with the relief of the ban was observed to be the Pegasus Airlines. It reflects the study that the airline that had to keep its aircraft on the most place throughout the year was the lowest affected by the British Airways and the airline KLM compared to the number of pre-crisis flights.
