- 1)
- Findings have been satisfactory in the fusion of the IAA topic for the scientific community and aviation and tourism industries. IAA topic approval came after extensive review of international airport and airline concepts, consolidating and contributing to the implementation of a new topic in an inclusive way in international aviation, and RQ1 is answered. Possibly, this is the only article that defines the relationships of international airports and airlines as an IAA topic. SITA [103] suggests that the aviation industry needs to tackle new challenges in new technologies, airplane operations, and sustainability. When taking into account documents from diverse areas of knowledge, the interdisciplinary character of IAAs is also well covered. Findings presented in Figure 8 confirm that the JATM is number one by the number of citations, with 792 and 78 documents, followed by the Journal of Transport Geography with 410 citations and 19 documents. The quantum of difference in documents attributed to the JATM is mostly focused on air transport; this is an important source for leading journals in the area of airports, airlines, and the aviation sector [11,104]. Following those are Transportation research Part A Policy and Practice (200 citations and 15 documents), Transport Policy (130 citations and 14 documents), Transportation Research Part B Methodological (134 citations and 8 documents), Tourism Management (129 citations and 4 documents), Transportation Research Part C Emerging Technologies (111 citations and 6 documents), and Transportation Research Part D Transport and Environment (111 citations and 4 documents); the rest of the journals have less than 100 citations, but these have contributed significantly to increasing the number of citations in the fusion of the IAA topic.
- 2)
- The level of contribution of this study (RQ2) shows that the IAA topic encompasses a strong interrelation in the international expansion of organizations among airlines, passengers, DMOs, tourist destinations, governments, companies, communication channels, and stakeholders. Airports will only survive by attracting and accommodating enough passengers and supporting airlines [72,105,106,107]. Airlines with a valuable reference for developing strategies assist governments in understanding the intentions of its airline operators [94]. Commercial aviation enhances understanding of the roles that airports play, and the ways that airlines use them becomes enhanced to maximize their benefits [108,109]. This paper tackles the interaction and interdependence between international airports and international airlines, to improve the air accessibility and connectivity of tourist destinations and passengers’ satisfaction and experience. The multidisciplinary framework of IAAs provided four perspectives of research: airports (management, safety, passengers, and operations); airlines (low-cost and legacy carriers, alliances by airlines and cities, and prices and cost management); connectivity (domestic and international routes); and competition (intermodal transport, logistics, airport′s hinterland, capacity, runways, and demand, amongst many others). These four dimensions are the indispensable basis of the IAA topic.
- 3)
- Planning and classification of the literature involved a range of different topics and different disciplines attributed to the IAA topic such as economics, transportation, aerospace engineering, geography, technology, management, and tourism, among others. Technology is very important in the aviation industry, being the engine of the digital revolution in communication, aerospace, airplanes, airports, and control measures. For instance, the dream of travelling through airports and flying around the world without needing to show your passport or boarding pass is now becoming a reality, thanks to the biometric technology [110]. Nevertheless, connectivity, competition, management, accessibility, safety, tourism, technology, and satisfaction factors were identified and considered in this research as important domain areas in the literature review of the IAA topic. These factors suggest that the IAA topic is relevant for tourist destinations and passengers, and RQ3 is answered. Figure 9 presents the 147 terms closely linked to international airports and airlines. Indeed, this research boosts the multidisciplinarity of the IAA topic in order to continue investigating topics linked to international airports, airlines, safety, tourism, and cybersecurity, amongst many others. Key terms were ‘FAA’; ‘gate’; ‘taxi’; ‘customer satisfaction’; ‘high speed rail’; ‘simulation’; ‘ICAO’; ‘flight frequency’; and ‘domestic market’. It is important to point out that a system of transport intramodality in the form of airports, airlines, railways, and taxis is highly analysed and investigated in the air transport literature, as we have seen in the course of this research.
- 4)
- Additionally, this research tackles the most relevant countries and universities in terms of the IAA topic (RQ4), and findings revealed that IAA research has been conducted by researchers from a large number of institutions in the sample of 566 documents in this paper, principally in the USA, China, the UK, Taiwan, Australia, Germany, Canada, South Korea, Spain, and Japan in productivity and competitiveness terms. Figure 10 presents citations by countries in IAA research. The country cited the most was the USA with 994 citations, followed by the UK (556), China (478), Australia (451), Canada (404), Taiwan (338), South Korea (295), New Zealand (271), Germany (251), France (149), and Spain (147). In addition, Table A1 and Table A2 (Appendix A) presents universities by number of published documents, Organizations-Enhanced by number of published documents in the period analysed.

- Figure 12 displays the most prominent authors related to the IAA concept by the number of citations. Beaulieu [111] notes that an article should have 10 or more citations. This paper showed the citation structure of authors who have published articles in this domain by setting a threshold of 10 citations, 1 document, and a total link strength. In other words, we consider only those authors whose citations have exceeded 10. Notably, out of 1328 plus authors, only 368 satisfied these criteria. In terms of the number of citations of these selection parameters and the link strength, the following are the most relevant authors: Fu Xiaowen.; followed by Wand, Kun.; Lei, Zheng.; Zhang, Anming.; Xia Wenyi.; Antunes Antonio Pais.; Jaquillat; Alexandre.; Ribeiro Nuno Antunes.; Wan Yulai; and D’alfonso Tiziana. All researchers shown in Figure 12 help to better understand the IAA specificities and complementarities of our work, and RQ5 is answered. We use the citation analysis to identify influential work in the field of study [104], as the number of citations is a strong indicator of scholarly impact in terms of the attention of the research community and these can be considered an emerging trend [112].
