Abstract

For the aviation business, the COVID-19 pandemic had a very negative impact, leading to financial losses of 90% and the loss of countless jobs. However, the existence of a transformational leadership in the management of each of the aviation businesses (airport) will somehow minimise this impact and adjust the strategies. The 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. This study aims to analyse how transformational leadership is positively related to the resilience of both work teams and the confidence of passengers in relation to the airports they use on their journeys, namely, in the airports of the VINCI Airports group. The relationship will be established between the different variables, the identified problem and the transformational leadership, using statistical data collected and worked through the discriminant analysis of partial least squares PLS-DA.
