Abstract: This case describes a real-world scenario based on a fictional new commuter airline seeking to develop a database to support their operations. Students are asked to design and develop a database to allow the airline to track flights, passengers, bookings, and more, based on a set of business rules, default data, and other requirements. The case is designed to be a relatively stringent test of the group’s abilities, with significant detail included in the case materials, along with a number of challenge tasks for advanced classes, groups, or individuals. The case has been designed for use as a semester-long group project in a Database Management course, focusing on reinforcing the students’ skills in entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) and SQL coding.
