Abstract :Nowadays, Industry 4.0 applications have brought unprecedented technological innovations in the transportation logistics value chain. The reflection of these developments in academia and their use in universities is very significant for education. The air transport sector is one of the leading sectors in the use of new technologies. Better results can be obtained by supporting theoretical air transportation education with visual elements and simulations in aviation management education. Students of aviation management departments receive theoretical training. In aviation management departments, students are getting trainings to work different departments of aviation companies. These departments can be supported by hands-on courses such as simulations or laboratories that show how to use information in real life. Within the scope of the research, a trial version of 19 different airport management simulations that can be used for airport management in aviation management departments. It has been evaluated in which simulation the theoretical knowledge of the research airport management course can best be put into practice and contribute to professional development. It is shown which simulations of different scenarios involve airport management strategies.
