Abstract

Blockchain tehnologija koja uspješno adresira problem stvaranja distribuirane baze podataka je tehnologija s jedinstvenom kombinacijom značajki kao što su decentralizirana struktura, distribuirani zapisi i mehanizmi za pohranu, konsenzusni algoritam, pametni ugovori i asimetrično šifriranje kako bi se osigurala mrežna sigurnost i transparentnost podataka. Zadnjih nekoliko godina dionici industrije zračnog prometa se sve više zanimaju za blockchain tehnologiju i istražuju potencijalne mogućnosti upotrebe. U radu su istražena i prikazana potencijalna područja primjene blockchain tehnologije, a neki od najvažnijih su programi vjernosti, digitaliziranje dozvola pilota zrakoplova, praćenje tereta i prtljage, održavanje zrakoplova i provjera identiteta putnika. Analizirana je dosadašnja primjena blockchain tehnologije u zračnom prometu i valorizirana je uspješnost i korisnost primjene. Jedna od najzanimljivijih inicijativa primjene blockchain tehnologije u zračnom prometu je IATA Coin, kriptovaluta kojoj je jedan od glavnih ciljeva prijenos novčanih sredstava između sudionika u zračnom prometu sa svim prednostima kriptovaluta.

Abstract (english)

Blockchain technology that successfully addresses the problem of creating a distributed database is a technology with unique combination of features such as decentralized structure, distributed ledger and storage mechanism, consensus algorithm, smart contracts and asymmetric encryption to ensure network security and transparency of data. Recently, the airline industry increasingly turned towards blockchain technology and started investigating potential use cases. This master thesis explores and presents the potential application areas of blockchain technology, and some of the most important are loyalty programs, digitizing crew certification, cargo and baggage tracking, aircraft maintenance operations and passenger identity check. The present application of blockchain technology in air transport industry was analyzed and the success and usefulness of the application were evaluated. One of the most interesting initiatives for application of blockchain technology in air transport is IATA Coin, a cryptocurrency that aims to transfer funds between air traffic participants with all the benefits of cryptocurrencies.
