The distinction between sport aerodromes, which are minimal recreational facilities, and commercial aerodromes, which are large-scale airports supporting high-volume passenger and cargo operations, is crucial in planning and resource allocation. Developing a new aerodrome involves a strategic master plan that includes site selection, feasibility studies, stakeholder engagement, and phased construction, emphasizing safety, scalability, environmental sustainability, and technological integration. Funding, regulatory compliance, and logistical coordination are integral to ensuring timely, cost-effective implementation, resulting in a resilient facility capable of accommodating future air traffic growth while supporting local economic development.

It explores the role of AI in improving employee engagement, talent retention, and internal mobility within organizations. A qualitative case study approach was employed, analyzing an advanced AI-driven HR software solution. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with HR practitioners and technology experts, followed by thematic analysis. The findings indicate that AI enhances personalized employee experiences, enables predictive workforce analytics, and automates HR functions, thereby improving decision-making and scalability of the platform. Nevertheless, challenges concerning ethical AI governance, data privacy, and system integration were also identified. This paper advances the understanding of AI's strategic role within HR platforms by providing empirical insights into its contributions to operational efficiency, employee experience, and business model innovation. It underscores both the opportunities and challenges organizations face in adopting intelligent HR systems.

The aim is to present the key findings in a scientific article that covers all essential aspects and is suitable for publication in a specialist journal. The analysis is based on extensive data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), supplemented by macroeconomic information from the Deutsche Bundesbank, the Federal Statistical Office and international organizations. Fixed-effects panel regressions are used to examine how inflation shocks influence the savings and investment behavior of younger and older households. The study shows that wealth inequality between younger and older households was already high during the low-inflation phase and worsened further as a result of the sharp price increases from 2021. The study focuses on the central hypotheses; that inflation significantly inhibits wealth accumulation among young adults. The empirical results only partially support these assumptions. Although young households suffer real losses in value, a heterogeneous adjustment can be identified: Well-qualified young people with higher incomes invest more in tangible assets, while financially weaker groups reduce their savings and prefer consumption. The paper concludes with an outlook on political measures to strengthen the financial resilience of young generations.

The study was conducted using a proprietary survey questionnaire developed based on a comprehensive review of the literature. In 2024, data were collected from a sample of 2,000 employees from various types of organisations in Poland. The results were analysed using Pearson?s chi-squared test. The findings confirm the hypothesis that solidarity positively influences employee engagement in assigned tasks. Statistically significant relationships were observed for variables such as job tenure and type of position held (managerial vs. non-managerial). This article presents a unique empirical study on workplace solidarity and employee engagement, conducted on an exceptionally large sample. Highlights the potential of fostering solidarity within organisations as a strategic approach to enhancing employee engagement. These opportunities should be identified and developed by managers and HR professionals to support workforce development.

WOMM is based on the phenomenon where satisfied customers share their experiences and impressions with others, generating interest and trust among potential new customers.While Georgian companies often rely on traditional marketing methods such as television advertising, print materials, and internet advertising, the potential of word-of-mouth marketing is frequently underutilized. This is despite evidence that implementing such a strategy significantly increases consumer trust and loyalty, ultimately positively impacting company success and financial performance.In recent years, influencer marketing has emerged as a prominent form of word-of-mouth marketing. This strategy involves collaboration with influential individuals whose shared content and recommendations substantially impact their followers' behavior. Influencers are often regarded as experts or leaders in specific segments, resulting in high consumer trust in their recommendations. This enables companies to reach broader audiences more efficiently and establish a positive brand image.This research aimed to examine the impact of influencer marketing in two Georgian companies. The study incorporated observation and experimental methods. An experiment was conducted at "Nadimi," a company established in March 2024, focusing on their customer base. The experiment aimed to generate buzz through specified advertising channels to maximize product discussion among consumers.Additionally, observations were conducted on the marketing activities of Dressarium, a major player in the clothing industry, to evaluate the effectiveness of their advertising channels. The study analyzed the company's marketing plan and annual budget, assessing the effectiveness of various promotional channels and activities - social media, influencers, YouTube, banners, SMS marketing, and events - across different target segments.
