The Scientific journal AEROjournal is published by The Air Transport Department at the University of Zilina. It offers aviation professionals and academics an opportunity for publication of their research outcomes covering wide range of current issues in air transportation. The Air Transport Department at the University of Zilina (ATD) is a centre for education, research, and training in civil aviation. ATD provides accredited study programmes in a three - tier course structure of university education - bachelor, Ing (equivalent to MSc.) and PhD degrees. We also provide complex aircraft pilot training up to the CPL/IR/MEP (A) level (Commercial Pilot with twin-engine aeroplane qualification and qualification for flying in accordance with Instrument Flight Rules) and a theory up to the frozen ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot) level including Multi Crew Cooperation course. ATD is also the base of the National Civil Aviation Security Training Centre of the Slovak Republic. The Centre runs basic aviation security courses in line with the EU regulations for all categories of personnel in aviation. The papers in this journal cover all the aspects of aviation (including airlines, airports, air traffic management, aerospace and maintenance).

    This article focuses on airline loyalty programs. The main objective of the article is to design a loyalty program for an airline that will promote customer loyalty. The first chapter presents the theoretical framework, covering key concepts such as customer, customer loyalty, communication tools and customer segmentation in air transport. It also outlines essential insights into the concept and functioning of loyalty programs. The second chapter analyses eight existing airline loyalty programs, each introduced by a brief profile of the respective airline. The effectiveness of each loyalty programs is assessed based on a model that evaluates the system of earning and redeeming points as well as the benefits offered.

    Fatigue in the air and at sea: comparing impact and regulations in aviation and maritime transport
    (University of Žilina, 2024) Maternová, Andrea; Materna, Matúš; Nichtová, Radoslava
    Fatigue poses a significant threat to transportation safety across all modes of transport. This paper examines fatigue, its consequences, and the regulatory frameworks addressing this issue, with a focus on the aviation and maritime industries. A comparative analysis is conducted on differences in legislation governing maximum duty hours, mandatory rest periods, and the risks resulting from non-compliance. By highlighting regulatory differences and their implications, this paper underscores the importance of effective fatigue management to enhance safety in both sectors.
