The efficiency of logistics processes at aviation companies is critical for their successful operation. A high level of coordination and optimization in logistics helps reduce costs, which in turn contributes to the company's competitiveness. Efficient logistics ensures timely delivery of materials, which is key to the smooth production and maintenance of aircraft. In addition, proper management of logistics processes helps minimize the risks associated with delays and unforeseen expenses. This is very urgent in the aviation industry, where any delay can lead to significant financial and reputational losses. Accordingly, companies that invest in modern logistics systems and information technologies to support them are better able to respond to changing market conditions and customer requirements. Thus, the development of information technologies to support logistics processes is not only a strategic advantage but also a prerequisite for the stable development of aviation companies.
The information technologies usage in the logistics processes of aviation companies is a pressing necessity due to the growing demands on the quality and speed of air transportation. Information technology enables automation and optimization of numerous operations, ranging from inventory management to real-time cargo tracking. This helps to reduce costs and increase efficiency, which is critical in the highly competitive aviation sector. Thanks to modern technology, businesses can better forecast demand, plan routes, and manage the risks associated with logistical delays. Integration of information technology (IT) solutions also improves the security and accuracy of data, which is essential to ensure high standards of customer service. In today's globalized and rapidly developing markets, the use of advanced information technology is becoming a key factor in successful business. Thus, aviation companies that actively implement modern IT solutions in their logistics processes gain a significant competitive advantage and are able to respond more effectively to market challenges.
The problem of using modern information technologies in the logistics processes of aviation companies remains insufficiently studied, despite its importance. Although the integration of IT solutions provides significant benefits, many aspects of this process require deeper research. One of the main problems is the lack of adaptation of existing information systems to the specific requirements of the aviation industry, which requires specialized research and development. It is also important to take into account the rapid development of technology, which requires constant updating of knowledge and skills of personnel in the IT field. Ignorance of this issue can lead to mistakes in the implementation of new technologies, which in turn negatively affects the efficiency of logistics processes. In addition, there is a need to develop new methodologies for assessing the effectiveness of implemented IT solutions. Another important aspect is data security, which requires detailed analysis and implementation of reliable security tools. Information technologies can significantly change logistics processes, but this requires thorough research and practical recommendations. Thus, further study of this issue is critical to ensure the stable development of aviation companies and their competitiveness in the market.

Competition levels in the aviation industry are elevated [14], even if the aircraft industry is dominated by very few large manufacturers of airframes and engines, that all compete in a global market.
Thus, the examples presented in Table 3 illustrate how airlines use modern information technologies to increase the efficiency, transparency and reliability of their logistics processes.
It can be argued that the use of modern information technologies by the world's leading airlines in their logistics processes provides a number of important advantages [13]: – increased efficiency and productivity. Automation of logistics processes, such as inventory management, accounting and planning, can significantly reduce the time to complete tasks and reduce the number of errors; – cost reduction. Optimization of routes and the use of resources such as fuel and storage space help to reduce operating costs. Information systems also help to reduce the cost of spare parts and materials through more accurate accounting and forecasting of needs; – improved accuracy and transparency. The use of RFID and IoT technologies allows for real-time tracking of cargo and baggage, ensuring high accuracy and transparency of logistics operations. This helps reduce the number of lost or delayed cargoes; – improved customer service. By managing logistics processes more accurately and quickly, airlines can provide a higher level of customer service by offering more accurate delivery times and responding quickly to customer requests; – optimization of supply chains. Integration of information systems allows for better coordination with suppliers, ensuring timely delivery of the necessary materials and components. This reduces the risk of supply chain disruptions; – ensuring data security. Modern IT solutions include high cybersecurity standards that protect confidential information and prevent unauthorized access to data; – improving decision-making. Big Data analytics tools and platforms allow airlines to analyze large amounts of data to make informed decisions. This contributes to better demand forecasting, inventory management, and route planning; – environmental responsibility. Optimized routes and more efficient use of resources help reduce CO2 and other harmful emissions, which improves airlines' environmental responsibility; – innovation and competitiveness. The advanced IT solutions allows airlines to stay at forefront of innovation and maintain high competitiveness in the global market.
Thus, the introduction of modern information technologies in the logistics processes of airlines significantly improves their operational efficiency, reduces costs, increases the level of customer service and ensures environmental responsibility.
Transport makes a significant contribution to economic growth and improving the quality of life by facilitating the movement of people and goods. Transport, on the other hand, causes external influences that can have harmful effects on the environment and health [15]. These externalities are a major incentive to support innovations that make transportation greener, safer and more efficient. According to [16], we will analyze air cargo transportation in 2020-2021 in Ukraine (million tkm), as shown in Table 4.
We will build a mathematical model based on regression analysis, using information technology by aviation enterprises. To do this, we use the linear regression formulas: ( ) = 1 + 2 , where А1, А2 are unknown regression coefficients.
