Abstract: This study incorporates aviation logistics equipment into the analysis, considering current policy trends and development hotspots. By exploring the intricate relationship between aviation logistics and the regional economy, a System Dynamics model is created to identify the dynamic mechanisms and key factors that drive high-quality and sustainable regional economic development through aviation logistics. The primary objective is to establish a framework for resource allocation and policy adjustments tailored to regional needs. To validate the proposed framework, an empirical analysis of Sichuan Province is conducted. The findings indicate that: (1) Aviation logistics significantly contributes to regional economic development; (2) Aviation logistics equipment, a crucial component of the aviation logistics supply subsystem, demonstrates notable stability compared to demand and plays a pivotal role in fostering regional economic development; (3) Aviation logistics equipment software, in contrast to hardware, has a more pronounced impact on regional economic development and structural optimization. This study offers both theoretical and practical contributions: Firstly, it integrates aviation logistics equipment into the complex system framework, addressing a gap in the literature by defining and categorizing its role within the framework. Secondly, the dynamic model developed provides theoretical support for regional management and policy-making, facilitating improved resource allocation and policy optimization for high-quality and sustainable regional economic development. Finally, the study presents practical policy recommendations, making it highly valuable in practice based on the Sichuan case.
