Project Abstract: Simulating Core Airline
Operations
This project presents a robust, console-based system designed to automate the fundamental operations of an airline. Leveraging the power of
Python, the application efficiently handles critical tasks such as flight scheduling, passenger registration, ticket booking, and cancellation.

Console-Based System Python & OOP Operational Automation

Designed for simplicity and speed, Built entirely using Python, demonstrating Automates key operational workflows,
utilizing a command-line interface for user strong principles of Object-Oriented including flight management, booking,
interaction. Programming (OOP) for modularity. and user data handling.

The primary goal was to demonstrate how real-world, complex business processes—like air travel management—can be accurately and
logically modeled using foundational programming concepts and structured object-oriented design.
Core Project Objectives
The development process was guided by several key objectives focused on both functional automation and technical mastery.

Graphical User Interface (GUI).
System Design: An Object-Oriented Approach
The system architecture is based on Object-Oriented Design (OOD), structuring the application around three primary, interconnected classes.

Implementation and Core Features
The project was executed using a modern Python environment, focusing on a straightforward console interface to maximize performance and clarity.

Technology Stack Key Application Features

Language: Python 3.11
Flight Management
• Interface: Console-Based Menu
• Data Handling: In-memory (Dictionaries & Lists) Functionality to add new flights with capacity limits and delete existing flights easily.

• Development Paradigm: Object-Oriented Programming

Passenger Registration

Secure registration and management of new passenger profiles within the system.

Booking & Cancellation

Efficient ticket booking with automatic capacity checks and simple cancellation processing.

Data Visualization

Real-time display of all available flights and a comprehensive list of registered passengers.
Testing & Validation
Rigorous testing ensured the system maintains data integrity and enforces operational rules.
