This article explores the strategic role of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in optimizing IT solutions within the airline industry, focusing on their impact on operational efficiency, maintenance management, and customer satisfaction. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative interviews with industry experts and quantitative analysis of performance data from leading airlines. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and IT managers, while secondary data were derived from internal reports and industry databases. The findings identify critical KPIs such as on-time performance, mean time to repair (MTTR), and Net Promoter Score (NPS) as essential metrics for guiding IT investments. Case studies reveal best practices in the implementation of KPI-driven IT strategies, highlighting how targeted KPIs can lead to significant improvements in both operational and customer-facing aspects of airline operations. The article concludes by discussing the strategic implications of these findings for airline executives and IT managers, emphasizing the need for a KPI-driven approach to IT management in a rapidly evolving industry landscape.
