Discovering the potential of blockchain technology in the aviation industry

Blockchain technology occurs in parallel with the problems in the functioning of corporate structures and the trust that is being shaken once again with the global crisis. Blockchain technology is an important and attention-grabbing field because it offers a new system. Efforts have been made to develop many technologies similar to blockchain. The common feature of these technologies is the effort to create a more reliable and free data network model where the power is dispersed against central systems. From this point of view, it is understood that the distrust towards the central institutions and the problems in operation were noticed before and efforts were made to change them. This technology is created by using cryptography without being connected to a center and by chaining it in the form of data blocks. Being reliable is the most important point of these technologies. Compared to existing systems, blockchain technology is more useful in maintaining and transferring value, data or other information. Blockchain technology has brought significant changes, especially in the aviation industry. The aim of this study is to consider blockchain technologies in the aviation industry. In this study, only the data obtained within the scope of literature review was used. Key Words: Technology, Blockchain, Aviation Industry
