Vol. 3 No. 4 (2025): Articles on December 2025

The present journal issue brings together seven scholarly articles that collectively reflect the ongoing advancement of digital transformation within the aviation sector. As editor, it is with great interest that we present this compilation, which highlights innovative applications of web-based information systems designed to address both operational and service-oriented challenges in airport environments.

The contributions in this issue demonstrate a strong methodological foundation, with authors employing established development frameworks such as Research and Development (R&D), ADDIE, the 4D model, and Rapid Application Development (RAD). This methodological rigor underscores the academic quality of the works while ensuring that the proposed systems are systematically designed, validated, and aligned with real-world needs.

A prominent theme across several articles is the modernization of aviation security operations through the digitalization of logbook systems. These studies respond to persistent inefficiencies associated with manual recording practices, offering web-based solutions that enhance data accuracy, accessibility, and transparency. Such innovations are particularly significant in strengthening the reliability and effectiveness of aviation security (AVSEC) processes.

In addition to operational improvements, this issue also highlights advancements in passenger-centered services. The development of airport mapping systems and facility information platforms demonstrates how digital tools can improve navigation, accessibility, and overall user experience. Notably, several contributions extend beyond core airport functions by integrating tourism-related information, thereby supporting regional development and promoting local destinations.

The issue further explores the role of information systems in administrative and commercial contexts, as evidenced by the development of a tenant management system. This work illustrates how digital platforms can streamline administrative workflows, improve service responsiveness, and contribute to sustainability initiatives through reduced reliance on paper-based processes.

Complementing these applied system developments, one article addresses the educational dimension of aviation through the design of a web-based learning platform for Dangerous Goods (DG). This contribution emphasizes the importance of technology-enhanced learning in improving comprehension and accessibility in specialized aviation training.

Overall, the seven articles presented in this issue collectively underscore the critical role of web-based information systems in shaping the future of airport operations and services. They reflect a broader movement toward smart airport ecosystems, where digital innovation serves as a key enabler of efficiency, safety, and service excellence. It is hoped that this collection will contribute meaningfully to both academic discourse and practical advancements in the field of aviation management and technology.
