This section aims to shed light on unethical practices within the aviation industry and the dilemmas that arise. These dilemmas include environmental pollution caused by aviation, issues and uncertainties faced by aviation employees, passenger grievances during overbooking and delayed ticket refunds during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the loss of the An-225 Mriya during the Russo-Ukrainian War was highlighted, showcasing the devastating impact of war. The first research topic in this section explores the transition of aviation from a passion for flight to the “flygskam” movement (shame associated with choosing airplanes for travel) due to carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Secondly, it examines the repercussions on aviation industry workers, such as job losses, wage cuts and changes in working conditions, given the industry's sensitivity to global changes. The third part addresses the destruction of the world's largest aircraft, Myria, during the war as a tale of shattered dreams. The fourth part investigates the reasons behind the great resignation, a consequence of workers not returning to work post-COVID-19, and delves into the challenges faced regarding employment. The final part centres on the passengers as subjects of unethical practices.
