Challenges and Strategies for Developing Henan’s Aviation Core Industry Using Entropy Weight and Grey Decision Analysis

As economic globalization progresses, air transport has become increasingly vital to economic development due to its speed and convenience. This study examines the driving forces of airside economic construction across four levels: primary, secondary, derivative, and permanent influences. It explores the dynamic interplay between the aviation industry and airside economic construction. Using the entropy weight method to optimize the grey situation decision-making theory, the paper investigates the development strategies for Henan Province’s airside economy. Results indicate that the H2 area should be prioritized as the key construction zone, achieving the highest effect measurement score of 0.9789. Furthermore, focusing on the development of the tertiary industry or the joint advancement of secondary and tertiary industries in the H2 area yields the most significant economic impact, with effect measurement scores of 0.755 and 0.749, respectively.
