Design selection for new In-Flight food delivery and waste collection system of commercial passenger transport aircraft using TOPSIS
One of the important airline services that can influence the passengers’ loyalty is the in-flight meal service. In this study, the conceptual design process of new in-flight food delivery and waste collection system is carried out using the standard engineering design method to improve the current s...
