Statistical analysis, including SPSS techniques such as reliability analysis, correlation, and regression, was performed to test the research framework and hypotheses. Results indicate significant impacts of EC, DE, and ZOT on PL, with PS mediating and WOM moderating these relationships. The study emphasizes the role of digital experiences and emotional bonds in building passenger loyalty. Practical recommendations for airlines include customer-centric strategies to improve satisfaction and loyalty.Item Evolution of Aircraft(2025) Evolution of Aircraft Muhammad Haris Shahid; Muhammad Zain-ul-AbdinThe "Evolution of Aircraft" project aims to create a visual and interactive representation of aviation history, designed to enhance the educational experience for junior batch students. While existing literature on aviation is often text-heavy and fragmented, this project addresses these gaps by constructing physical models of significant aircraft from different historical periods, accompanied by informative panels. The models are organized chronologically, illustrating the progression from early gliders and powered flight to modern jetliners and sustainable aircraft. Key milestones include the contributions of pioneers like Abbas ibn Firnas, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Wright brothers, as well as advancements during World Wars and the rise of commercial aviation. Modern innovations such as electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and SpaceX's Starship are also highlighted, emphasizing sustainability and future possibilities. The project employs a hands-on, student-centered approach, combining historical research with practical model-building to make complex concepts accessible and engaging. By integrating visual and tactile learning tools, the project fosters a deeper understanding of aviation's technological, social, and cultural impacts. Challenges such as historical accuracy, budget management, and material selection were addressed through systematic planning and iterative refinements. The final exhibition, organized within a 3×6 feet frame, successfully showcases the interplay of technological advancements and societal transformations across centuries. Future recommendations include expanding the project with digital tools, diversifying historical narratives, and integrating aviation topics into STEM curricula, ensuring the project's continued relevance and educational impact.Item Aero Vision: Designing a Crosswind Runway Experience for Educational Institution(2025) Amina; Waleed Ahsan; Arslan MujahidThis study explores the design and implementation of an innovative crosswind runway and taxiway system within an educational setting, aligning with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards to bridge theoretical aviation principles with experiential learning.

(A STUDY ON PAKISTAN AVIATION INDUSTRY)(2025) Muhammad Aman Hashmi; Hassan ShaukatThis study investigates the critical issue of employee turnover within Pakistan's aviation sector focusing on five key variables job satisfaction job stress work-life balance external career growth opportunities and organizational commitment. High employee turnover poses significant challenges to the aviation industry including operational disruptions increased costs and compromised safety standards. Through a positivist research philosophy and a deductive approach this study employs a quantitative methodology to examine the relationships among these variables and their collective impact on turnover intentions. Data were collected using structured surveys distributed to more than 430 respondents in Lahore from whom 320 responses were obtained as well as 140 respondents from online google forums were obtained, out of all the responses only the first 430 respondents were used for the analysis of this study taken from employees from various roles within the aviation sector including pilots cabin crew ground staff and administrative personnel these were the employees of airlines general aviation and employees of PCAA. The findings reveal that job stress driven by demanding schedules safety critical responsibilities and tight deadlines is a significant predictor of turnover intentions. Limited career growth opportunities further exacerbate this issue particularly in roles with restricted upward mobility. Conversely job satisfaction and work-life balance are shown to mitigate turnover intentions with flexible scheduling and supportive organizational policies contributing to employee retention. Organizational commitment emerges as a key moderating factor fostering loyalty and reducing attrition even in high-stress environments. Employees who perceive their organizations as supportive equitable and committed to professional development are more likely to remain despite challenging work conditions. This study also highlights the interconnected nature of these variables. Addressing these variables holistically can significantly enhance employee retention and operational stability in the aviation sector. The research contributes to the academic literature by providing empirical insights into the unique turnover dynamics of the aviation industry in Pakistan. It offers recommendations for aviation organizations including the implementation of stress management programs career development initiatives and policies that promote work-life balance. By prioritizing employee wellbeing and aligning organizational practices with workforce expectations aviation companies can reduce turnover rates improve workforce stability and maintain a competitive edge in this high-pressure industry.Item IMPACT OF MODE OF TEACHING ON STUDENT LEARNING(UMT.
