Item Utilization of Aviation qualified graduates by the Aviation Organizations in Pakistan(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Mohammad Azhar Mushtaq andM Shoaib JamilThe aviation graduates in Pakistan are not being fully utilized in the aviation sector of Pakistan. We try to find the reasons behind this lack of induction of aviation graduates as compared to graduates from other disciplines. The shortage of well trained and certified human resource is adversely affecting the aviation industry of Pakistan. The capacity building of human resource is required to be enhanced. State of the art equipment and latest technology shall be used to train the human resource. Effectiveness and potential of aviation graduates can be enhanced for their own benefit as well as for the benefit of aviation sector of Pakistan. Questionnaires which were used to survey human resource managers and recruiters highlighted that there is a lack of collaboration and understanding between the graduates, universities/institutes and the aviation industry that's why aviation graduates are not being preferred by aviation organizations. To bring collaboration between the industry and academia, aviation universities/institutes shall conduct Research and Development (R&D) and establish effective links with the aviation organizations both domestic and international. The collaboration can result in improved curriculum/syllabi of the universities/institutes, and better training, internship and job opportunities for aviation graduates. Furthermore, it will enhance the performance of aviation sector as better and well trained human resource shall be available to the aviation organization, improving their effectiveness and efficiency.Item HUMAN-LESS AUTOMATED BOARDING CARD MACHINE (HABC)(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Muhammad Hasnain and Muhammad MoeesObjective: The objective of our project is to minimize the man powers and to save time of passengers and airlines.

These damaged can be claimed by passengers and the authorities can give the claim according to the rule. Whether they are shifting the baggage loading and off-loading to the aircraft. Secondly our main focus was who is responsible for these damaged and who can it to claim passengers and what are the precautions agencies they can do to avoid the higher ratios of baggage damaging to its lower ratios. We have discussed the rules about baggage handling system (BHS) and ground handling agencies (GHA) working system and conducting surveys by passengers to understand what our research is wrong or right. It is the theme of that research and how damaged can be controlled up to some extend and can be minimized up to the certain value and our focus was how the damage is done and who are the responsible for this.Item Future of Self-Service Technology in Pakistani Airports and Passenger’s Response(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Hussnain Munir , Tariq Ahmad Abid and Abdul Basit SialItem NEW INNOVATIONS AND STRATEGIES TO REDUCE OPERATING COSTS OF AIRLINES(UMT, Lahore, 2018) SHAKEEL AHMED, USMAN BASHIR and M. SALMANThis project is about all the expenses which are associated with an airline’s business. It includes the literature about the business’s basics. It contains all the operating costs of an airline like fuel, maintenance, human resources and so on. Then there is the procedure and formulae with which airlines calculate their cost. Then comes the recommendations and current strategies which are used by various airlines around the globe. It also discusses the cost cutting strategies of PIA. This project is also about a locker company at Allama Iqbal international airport, Lahore, named As “LOCKERS”. This company will provide a place for transit passengers to keep their baggage. Our company will also be helpful for those passengers who usually have extra baggage with them so they can’t carry all the baggage in the flight so they have to leave some of the baggage at the airport. We will have the validity of keeping the baggage for maximum of 30 days and even more if special cases, so any recognized relative of the passenger can accept their baggage from us but he has to show a specific code to us which we will assign during the submission of baggage. In the start, our counter will be at Lahore airport only but surely we will extend it to other airports. Our main focus will be the transit passenger, tourists and more importantly those Pakistanis who work in Middle East and Europe. This business plans contains introduction of “LOCKERS”, its business growth, industry analysis, SWOT analysis, PESTEL, core strategy and finance related information. “LOCKERS” will try to serve its customers as smoothly as it can through latest technologies and according to latest demands. We will be looking our business to many other airports of the world. Our objective is to provide best and reliable services to our customers. We should make them feel safe. In future our goal is to increase our business by working at as many airports as we can. Each and every person out of 7 billion people on earth who is using air services through airport is our goal.Item SURVEY OF MARKETING STRATGIES OF LAHORE BASED TRAVEL AGENTS IN COMPETITVE MARKET(UMT, Lahore, 2018) MUHAMMAD WAQAS and SYED HASSAN ALITraveling by air is the major demand in today’s era. Everyone is traveling country to country for the sake of business, work, job, and study or trading. When they travel, they need to choose the airline to reach their destination. Different travel agents offer different packages and routes based on their schedules. Travel agents use different ways of marketing to sell the tickets and services. Their strategies depend on the nature of their business as registered in travel industry. There are basic only two types of businesses, IATA Certified and Non-IATA. Most of the Lahore based travel agents are running the Hajj and Umrah business. In addition, they are dealing with different countries’ visit visas, airline tickets and Hotel Reservations. Their major method of marketing is Print media and Social media like newspaper, Television advertisement, Mobile messaging, Whatsapp, Facebook, Printed Packages against their services of specific duration. Almost all travel agents are using same techniques but they are offering different services depending on the size of business, number of staff, agreements with different Non-IATA small agents on pre-decided commission. In short, Travel agents of Lahore are offering in basically airline tickets, Visa, Umrah and Hajj and hotel reservations worldwide. M/S Meezab Air, M/S Bukhari travel and M/s Labaik travel are more competitive travel agents in market of Lahore on the basis of business setup, services, services rates and online ratings given by their clients. Although every client cannot rate their business due to illiterate clients, many of them are not interested to rate them online and many other reasons. They have sub offices within and in other cities. M/S Emad Travels, M/S World Travels and M/S Mahnoor Travels have five star ratings online by their clients but their business setup is smaller and they are working with single office. M/S Hadi Masarat is working with more than one office but his services rates are reasonable for economy customers as they are offering economy services which at greater distance with shuttle services. This point generates economy clients whose are willing to stay at greater distance but this thing causing to lose VIP clients. M/S Naseem & Imran Travels and M/S The Vision Travel are working with single offices but due to Non-IATA certified agent they are doing business lower than IATA certified agents in market. Because they have to buy tickets from IATA-certified and they have to sell after charging a specific amount of margin, which increases the ticket rate. This increase rate of tickets causes of lower the selling of tickets. Clients if visit IATA-Certified agents, they offer them low rates of tickets as they are booking directly and they costs lower. So customers try to buy tickets at lower fare from IATA certified agents.Item SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROWTH OF PAKISTAN’S AVIATION INDUSTRY(UMT, Lahore, 2018) MALKA NOORObjective: The objective of the present study is to determine Awareness and knowledge about Greenfield airports in Pakistan can make and ecological friendly environment.

The conclusion of this research is to find a positive outcome of being green airports in Pakistan. In Pakistan, different airports contain a different environment priority, that’s why sustainability is ending up progressively imperative. Not as a feature of the buildup, however as an absolute necessity have. Sustainability will turn out to be similarly as critical as some other field of aviation. Accordingly, airports can never again keep sustainability off their principle plan and need to make a move towards a bright and eco-friendly future of Pakistan.Item Correlation of Technology and Sociology(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Mohammad Ibrahim Malik and Sufyan AhmedTechnology and sociology both are interrelated with each other, because as technology changes it gives effect on society both positive as well as negative. As we know the technology is taking rapid growth and the day is not far away when technology will takes over the world, but we should know that the no matter how much technology increases but they can’t replace humans. Technology is invented for giving the humans relief not competition. The technology and how its effect on the society is the main prospective of this project, you will learn that how technology is changing and how our life is affected with it both positively and negatively respectively.Item Transition from Hub & Spoke to Point to Point(UMT, Lahore, 2019) Saad Sajjad QureshiTraveling by air is one of the most necessary demands in today’s era. Everyone is traveling country to country for the sake of business, work, job, and study or trading. When they travel they need to choose the airline to go their destination. Different airlines offer different networks and routes based on their schedules. Airlines operate two types of network models 1. Hub and spoke, 2. Point to point. These are two systems on which airlines operate flights. Some airlines do flights on hub and spoke system and some airlines on point to point system. Mostly, legacy airlines operate flights on hub and spoke system and Low Cost Carriers operate point to point flights. Airlines networking based the network planning and the cost they spend on the aircrafts. There are different aircrafts for hub and spoke and different aircrafts for point to point. Point to point system has its own advantages and disadvantages while hub and spoke also have both advantages and disadvantages. New airlines are also coming in the aviation industry to compete all airlines either they are doing hub and spoke or point to point operations. Most of the new airlines are going to perform point to point system because it is so feasible for their business and also for passengers.Item Airport Waste minimization Strategic plan and Implementation(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Muhammad Sarmad Imran and Muhammad Zeeshan AzharThere is multiple waste sources present at airport. These waste can be reduce through proper planning and identification of sources. Proper understanding of waste mitigation should be necessary. Lack of training, education and awareness can lead to failure of waste mitigation plan and can generate general public and employees health issues. This document contains all the necessary aspect of airport waste, sources, waste mitigation procedure and methods. Moreover, additional informational like brining innovation and encouraging employees to play their role in waste reduction from airport is also defined in it briefly. Top management commitment is necessary in order to reduce waste. Proper planning and engaging of stakeholders is one of main important part which is defined in this document. Airport waste cannot reduce just giving training and education to employees, additionally awareness in the general public, community and passenger is also necessary which can be generated through multiple ways defined in this document. If this plan is properly implemented and supervise, positive result can come out which will be effective and through this general public, community and passenger health issues can be reduce in a precise manner. Furthermore, airport waste will also reduce.Item Insufficient Technology of Security in Pakistan(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Muhammad Albar Khan and Usman AhmadThis project mainly focuses on enhancing the airport security and the technology used all around the world. This covers all the important technology methods and screening procedure yet how many incidents have occurred in the past which led to many catastrophic incidents. Since the 9/11 incident many new SOPs were introduced just for the sake of enhancing the security on the airport and the aircrafts as the airport is targeted as the most sensitive part because at a time many lives are at risk. Despite all the procedures and tight security, some criminals still manage to escape the checks and cause sabotage. This project includes all the major points like why security is important and why it should not be avoided, and the technology used in order countries is much advance as compared to the technology used in Pakistan. Pakistan airport lacks most of the advance technology which makes it vulnerable to many threats, but Pakistan is trying to match up with the other world with their technologies and security on the airports right now.Item Aviation Security vs. passenger facilitation(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Zainab AshrafAirports are the gateway of a country. Aviation is a big industry and the aim of this industry is to provide air transportation services to the travelers who want to save their time by travelling fast in an aircraft. Airport is the platform from where operators provide these services. Like every other asset, their security must be high in order to deter bad elements from miss-using this platform. But the facilitation of the passengers who are already there to save their time and are paying high for that should also be considered. The equilibrium between security and facilitation is a very interesting topic for research purposes.Item Waste management plan For Pakistan(UMT, Lahore, 2018) Usama hamid and Talha ButtThis project is about the waste management and sources from which the waste generate, we have also discussed the type of wastes and how to manage waste in terms of reuse, recycling and disposing of it. We have discussed the major types of it which are i.e. municipal solid waste, agriculture waste, hazardous waste. As Pakistan is a developing country and there is no such measures to reduce waste from airports and from cities, there are no such technologies which the other counties are using for the waste management purpose. People within the Pakistan don’t have such awareness regarding the waste management so we are proving a plan to manage waste, not just this we are also making efforts how to reduce waste within the Pakistan and making it a clear country by conducting surveys, by training waste management personnel, and educating people about waste and its management. It’s not only about the education or management but the legislation has its own importance, so we have made some policies and guidelines, that if organizations and individuals will work through that then we will be able to manage it. There are three main element of eco system which are land, air and water, the lack of awareness regarding the waste management is disturbing the ecosystem in which ecosystem due to which our land, water and air is being polluted. The aftermath of disturbing and polluting these will are creating new diseases and they are defiantly harmful for the humans and other living beings. The plan which have giving is starting with the basic understanding of the cities of Pakistan and their waste, the need for this plan was to educate the localities that the waste is not only important for the major cities but the small cities also produces waste and that should also be manage. The current laws and regulation are also being discussed on which the organizations are working, the plan briefly describes that which administrations will work in collaboration, so that a cleaner Pakistan can be made by the effort of ours. The major part of this plan is to control the waste, reduce it from the source and creation of some data bases on which there is a brief information of how much waste is being generated, where it is, and when it will be dispose of.Item Future of Aviation Without Pilots(UMT, Lahore, 2018) SHAHTAJ SAJIDAviation industry flourished with great speed after the invention of heavier-than-air aircraft by Wright Brothers in 1903. They laid the foundation of one of the greatest transportation industry of the world. From 1903 to up till now, various automation has been made in every field that has directly, and indirectly impacted the aircrafts, their designs and their technology. They have been made advanced to such an extent that now they could fly on their own with proper systems and some variations. Scientists and engineers have always tried to introduce new advancements in aviation, and now they are trying to introduce artificial intelligence to aircrafts. Such advancements have been the focus of aeronautics community.Item Role of PCAA in Aviation Industry(UMT, Lahore, 2018) AHMAD ALIAviation has always been a focus especially after the establishment of the importance of air transport within the people. Analysts have been always in the search to seek knowledge of aviation and implement the latest research. One such focus has been the technology that is always changing within the field. Initial research in the field of aviation in advancement discovered new avenues and changed the whole concept of flying and operations on ground.Item SUPERSONIC TRAVELLING(UMT, Lahore, 2018) ABU BAKARAviation become one of the major industry after the invention of heavier-than-air aircrafts in 1903. After the formation of air transportation through aircrafts, aviation has become a major focus of scientific community and engineers who constantly seek to make advancements in the technologies related to aircrafts and other operations. The speed is one of the main such focus of advancement, and since the creation of aircrafts, has been subjected to various variations by inventions of engines and streamline designs. One such achievement regarding speed in aviation is the making of supersonic transport aircrafts. Their manufacturing, downfall, and comeback is a very interesting topic for research purposes.Item GLOBAL AIRLINE ALLIANCES(UMT, Lahore, 2018) AWAB UL HAQ and HUNAIN SOHAILLiterature on airline partnerships is growing, and has thus far mostly dealt with the price effects of airline consolidation. There is no clear consensus, though, whether the alliances on international markets do bring benefits to the member companies. (Kuzminykha) Therefore our project focuses on the evaluation of global airline alliances that how they can be fruitful for airline business and help in marketing of the product. The reason to research is to find how small scale and newly introduced airline can mold themselves into the alliances which should help them to stabilize their financial and operational capability.Item AIRPORT PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT(UMT, Lahore, 2018) MUHAMMAD AHMAD , ALI HAIDER and TANIAThe purpose of text is to fulfil the partial degree requirement, airport planning and management is one of the most highlighted and important feature of aviation industry to expedite and perform operations effective and efficiently by the passage of time with evolution of aviation industry the growth and need of airports and its planning and management has been increase as monetary and political deregulation keeps on spreading. World of civil aviation, including airport management, has witnessed tremendous changes in technology, structure, and political environments. The aviation Industry adjusted to major regulatory change, experienced economic woes Experienced record economic prosperity, adapted to a new world of enhanced Security, and most recently, struggled through a worldwide economic downturn, and is poised for an entirely new paradigm of technology. The future of airports as part of the civil aviation system in the United States and internationally is ce1tainly an open book, with no foreseeable conclusion. However, much of the fundamentals that govern airports and airport management will, for the most part, remain a constant. The fundamental physics of flight will never change, nor will the fundamentals that govern air traffic operations. Technologies are sure to change, as are the regulations and funding mechanisms that facilitate the adaptation of technologies. The policies that direct the process of Aviation are sure to change as well. It is the responsibility of airport management and others with interests in airport operations to constantly evolve their knowledge of this ever-changing industry. A constant maturation of airport management from a business, operations, and public relations standpoint, along with a working knowledge of the Fundamentals that form the foundation of the industry, will no doubt contribute To civil aviation being a most important part of our world's transportation and Social frameworkItem Marketing mix and purchase decision of consumers for a new product(UMT, Lahore, 2018) MUHAMMAD JUNAID FALAK, URFA CHEEMA and MINHAJ MASOODMarketing mix provide help to establish a framework through which the companies develop plan for the successful achievement of their marketing activities.

Those who have experienced such mode of travel may even add some more details of reserving the flight, going through the security process at the airport and flying in the company of sometimes nice and sometimes annoying next seat neighbours. Some may even be able to relate some flight horror stories of spending the whole time of their travel pleading the person in the row before you to kindly straighten their seat, and later swearing to never travel by air ever again. What the common passenger fails to consider is the sacrifices made by the aviation enthusiasts to make man able to fly. The charm and enthrallment in flight has always captured man’s interest, and once man was able to fly, there was no looking back and only looking forward. From the fateful day at Kitty Hawk, aviation has been growing explosively. Today, aviation is not merely the art of flying a vehicle in air, but also the art of making this activity commercial and the art of managing this complex yet adventurous field. The madmen of the past have been able to give us this flying vehicle, but now it was up to the modern man to make better use of these vehicles. Many branches grew out of aviation such as safety, security, and yield management. Aviation played a great role in teaching the importance of creating systemized approaches. Aviation, with all its dilemmas, continued to grow and expand. What once was only a mode of transportation has now become the core of businesses, world economies, and world peace and politics. Today, the whole process of taking a flight has become complex. It is not only boarding the aircraft after presenting your ticket. The passenger only knows about the surface level activities, but so much work goes on behind the scenes. It is one of the beauties of the aviation industry that the passenger never knows the pains not only airlines but government and inter-government level organizations go through in order to ensure that their travel remain safe and secure.
