ABSTRACT The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is the one responsible for building the aviation industry by improving safety, the efficiency of how the aviation industry operates, and a system covering all different kinds of processes. This study presents a systematic literature review that tries to understand the diverse applications of IoT in terms of aviation processes, including predictive maintenance, smart airport operations, air traffic management, and supply chain optimization. A comprehensive search was conducted of major academic databases such as IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and the ACM Digital Library to identify relevant peer-reviewed literature published primarily between 2018 and 2023. The studies mentioned were analyzed using a qualitative approach to analyze their content. It enables the identification of common technological components, reported benefits, and recurring challenges like cybersecurity risks, managing data complexities, and interoperability issues. The study revealed that even though the literature review shows a potential of IoT in aviation, there is still a need for further empirical research, regular development, and collaboration of sectors to provide a solution for the technical and organizational barriers in the aviation industry. This study contributes a timely and integrated perspective to support future innovation and policy formulation in the aviation technology landscape. |
