✈️ Plane Management System (Java CLI)

🎓 University Project: Developed as part of the Year 1 University curriculum to demonstrate core Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Data Structure implementation in Java.

A comprehensive command-line application designed to manage plane seating, ticket sales, and passenger information. This project focuses on efficient data handling using multi-dimensional arrays and custom class structures (Person, Ticket).

🚀 Key Features

• Seat Booking & Cancellation: Interactive menu to buy or cancel seats with real-time validation.
• Dynamic Seating Plan: Visual representation of the plane's seating layout (4 rows, variable seats per row).
• First-Available Finder: Automated logic to find and suggest the next empty seat.
• Ticket Management: Generates detailed ticket information including passenger details (Name, Surname, Email).
• Sales Reporting: Calculates and prints total revenue and individual ticket breakdowns.
• Search Functionality: Quickly locate specific ticket and passenger records.

🛠️ Technical Highlights

• OOP Principles: Implemented using custom classes for encapsulation (Person, Ticket).
• Data Structures: Utilizes 2D arrays for seat mapping and 1D arrays for record management.
• Input Validation: Robust error handling for user inputs using try-catch blocks and custom validation methods.
• File Export: (If applicable) Ability to save ticket information to text files.
