TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide answers to a number of critical questions: What are the key drivers of each type of airline's business model? Is there a difference in passengers' perceptions between low-cost carriers and full-service incumbents in a mature European market and in a rapidly developing Asian economy?What are the principle reasons why a passenger chooses a particular airline model?

TL;DR: The authors examined the gap between passengers' service expectation and actual service received and the gaps associated with passenger service expectations and the perceptions of these expectations by frontline managers and employees of a Taiwanese airline.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of the choice of airport by air travellers departing from the San Francisco Bay (SF-B) area using the mixed multinomial logit model, which allows for a random distribution of tastes across decision makers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the post-deregulation temporal concentrations in European aviation networks and found that a temporal concentration trend exists among European airlines with deregulation resulting in the adoption or intensification of wave-system structures by airlines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role that air cargo plays in economic development and factors that condition its impact and discussed three factors that can enhance air cargo's positive impact: air service liberalization, improving customs quality, and reducing corruption.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that US network carrier offshoots have failed on all three counts: spin off profitable businesses, see off low cost competition in key markets, and establish a test-bed for adapting low cost business processes to their mainline operations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with effective forecasting methods for typically lumpy demand for aircraft spare parts, and analyzes the behavior of forecasting techniques when dealing with the lumpiness of demand.

TL;DR: In this paper, an exploratory survey of eight European low-cost airlines was conducted and the authors found that demand for low cost services was the most important choice factor, with aeronautical charges ranked fourth.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual path analyzing motives, potential benefits and problems, potential fields of cooperation are identified along with three basic classes of airline-airport alliances: capacity-based, marketing-based and security-based cooperation models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology to estimate the relationship between the expenditure in the commercial area of an airport and the passenger waiting time to board is developed, which shows that the more time spent in the airport, the greater consumption by passengers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply an aggregate form of multinomial logit model to identify the critical factors influencing air cargo transshipment route choice decisions, focusing on the trade-off between monetary cost and time cost.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the seemingly inexorable decline in yield in the airline industry and found that the traffic mix of economy, business and first class passengers has changed over a 10-year period as proportionally more travellers choose to use economy class products.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify conditions under which asymmetric equilibria may exist when carriers compete in designing their network configurations in a game-theoretical framework, where two carriers are allowed to play three different strategies: point-to-point (PP), hub-and-spoke (HS) or multi-hub.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the link between airline business strategies and network structures, and examine the resulting competition between divergent network structure business models, and discuss issues of market structure stability and the role played by competition policy.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive survey of the alliance management departments of airlines participating in the four global strategic alliances was carried out to ascertain the degree of impact perceived by participating airlines in alliances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether there is a significant distinction between the market segment of business travelers using the low-cost entrant and those using the full-service carriers, and also looked at the perception of these travelers regarding the key attributes of the services offered.

TL;DR: In this article, the inherent delays of airline schedules resulting from limited buffer times and stochastic disruptions in airline operations are discussed and a set of measuring indices is developed to evaluate schedule reliability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and evaluate the myriad of factors that influence the choice of airport by freighter-operating airlines and present an international postal survey of airlines operating freighter aircraft on a scheduled nonintegrated basis.

TL;DR: This article used an intervention model to look at the impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on air transport passenger demand in the US and found that both domestic and international air traffic was significantly impacted for 1 and 2 months, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the latest developments and attempts to identify the implications for airline network structures and the function of different hub airports and evaluated the range of services available to passengers in long-haul markets to/from Europe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess whether the profit and growth potential of Asian low-fare airlines are hampered not only by remaining regulatory barriers but also by the embedded revenue and cost advantages of their full fare rivals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the impact of individual-specific attribute processing strategies on the inclusion/exclusion of attributes on the parameter estimates and behavioural outputs of models of airline service and fare level choice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the capacity of en-route airspace is estimated using simulation techniques employing models of controller workload, and the results show that there is considerable variation both in their application and controller involvement in the capacity estimation process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the strategy of setting up a low-cost unit adopted by some incumbent airlines to the threat and opportunity of the low cost incursion, based on the analysis of five case studies in the European airline industry, the chances and risks of establishing a low cost carrier within the same grouping of a network carrier business model are explored.

TL;DR: The purpose of the research is to identify and evaluate the key design parameters of checked baggage screening, and to develop an analytical model that will determine the optimal number of explosives detection system equipment based on passenger demand levels and security protocols.

TL;DR: Air transportation flows are potentially a prime data source in assessments of a global urban system and are often assumed rather than properly discussed, but previous analyses have been hampered by inadequate and/or partial data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the effects of a European airline merger followed by a consolidation of two competing international alliances and found that the merger and alliance consolidation harm consumers while reducing overall social surplus.

TL;DR: There may be some institutional barriers to peak pricing theory that prevent effective implementation, and airports and others seeking to reduce congestion might consider focusing their efforts on working towards providing alternatives for passengers, rather than attempting to use peak pricing as a congestion-reduction mechanism in isolation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined passengers' choice behavior in selecting between local small community airports and more distant major commercial airports and found that ticket price, experience with Golden Triangle Regional Airport and flight schedule were the strongest factors that influence air travelers' airport choices.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the airlines' optimal fuel management strategies is presented, which determines the optimal amount of ferry fuel to be loaded at each airport for a given aircraft route.
