RT Journal Article T1 A Bibliometric Overview of the International Airports and Airlines ‘IAA’ Topic in Journals and Scientific Community. A1 Florido Benítez, Lázaro K1 Bibliometría K1 Aviación K1 Turismo AB Background: The purpose of this study is to provide an assessment of international airportsand airlines, ‘IAAs’, and to organize and classify the literature on air transport to stage the importanceof this topic and encourage future research in the projection of the aviation and tourism sectors.Methods: It is a bibliographic study, and this work focuses on IAA documents published in majorinternational journals, conferences, and books from 2000 to 9 June 2021; this topic is scattered acrossvarious journals and has secondary data in many disciplines. Results: The findings suggest a newparadigm applied to the IAA topic and are classified in four first-order research streams: airports;airlines; connectivity; and competition. This study identifies new challenges and opportunitiesfor researchers, airport and airline operators, and stakeholders to make better future decisions.Conclusions: There is no agreement on an explicit definition of the IAA concept that captures thetrue nature of this topic. For this reason, this article is innovative in the new IAA concept and inhow it will possibly change the theoretical frameworks in future scientific research in the aviationand tourism sectors. This study has been needed to better understand the effectiveness, projection,and different business strategies to be adopted by researchers and organizations in the aviation andtourism future.
