In this pandemic period that we have been going through since March 2020, transformational leadership is increasingly important, in the resilience of companies and economic groups at the same time safeguarding the needs of its most important assets, its employees (Abad-Varas and Pino, 2022). The primary objective of this investigation is to demonstrate the strategic importance of the need for transformational leadership in the aeronautical management sector in a pandemic context, and reflect on the variables that contribute to transformational leadership in a context of a pandemic and in which adaptation, taking advantage of synergies between resources and work and an attitude of resilience, in the airports of the VINCI Airports group. For this purpose, a relationship will be established between the different variables, the identified problem and the transformational leadership, using statistical data collected and worked through the partial least squares regression analysis (PLSR).
