Construct an EER diagram for airline database. The airline database contains the information about passengers, flights, departure, employees and aircrafts. For passengers name, address, phone number and related flight information is recorded. For employees name, address, salary, an identification number, and flight information is recorded. Not all employees can fly aircraft; just the pilots. For such employees their qualifications, i.e. what kind of planes they can fly are recorded. For planes the model number and make is recorded. The airline has many aircrafts of a certain type. For flights, it is required to keep following information: the flight number, origin, destination, departure time and arrival time. Relevant assumptions, if required, can be made.
