TL;DR: A novel slacks-based measure network data envelopment analysis (SBM-NDEA) approach to measure both technical efficiency and service effectiveness of airlines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and examine the perceived factors that are affecting the market development of bio-fuels for aviation and discuss the implications of these findings for commercial aviation and the future development of global market for aviation biofuel market are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method to assign seats and to board passengers on an airplane that minimizes the total time to board by assigning individual passengers to seats based on the amount of luggage they carry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the comparative efficiencies of international airports for a multi-year period (2006-2011) using data envelopment analysis intended for dynamic benchmarking and Malmquist productivity index built on time-series analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the application of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Norm-Activation Model to air travel attitudes and make recommendations for a policy response, which emphasises the need to bring air travel behaviour in line with other energy saving household behaviours.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a bootstrap data envelopment analysis truncated regression approach to assess airline performance and identify the sources of efficiency in the immediate aftermath of financial turmoil.

TL;DR: A content analysis of the accident reports was done using the Human Factors Analysis Classification System (HFACS) as a conceptual framework; this was augmented with results of industry experts assessment of the Nigerian aviation industry as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored strategies that airline administrations apply to employee advocacy, developed a research setting, analyzed the factors involved, and developed a casual model of the antecedents and consequences of employee advocacy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model that investigates job embeddedness (JE) as a mediator of the effects of high-performance work practices (HPWPs), as manifested by selective staffing, job security, training, empowerment, rewards, teamwork, and career opportunities, was proposed and tested.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved boarding strategy is introduced by assigning individual passengers to seats based on the number of luggage they carry, and the passengers with the most luggage board onto the plane first.

TL;DR: In this article, a structural equation model with latent variables for estimating the financial and non-financial performance in airline companies is presented. And the results indicate that the model is capable of estimating performance with respect to the economic situation and it has also been determined that two types of constructs affect performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid approach combining singular spectrum analysis (SSA), adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) is proposed for short-term air passenger traffic prediction.

TL;DR: The first-stage DEA results indicated that Adelaide, Beijing, Brisbane, Hong Kong, Melbourne, and Shenzhen are the efficient airports, while the second-stage regression analysis suggested that percentage of international passengers handled by an airport, airport hinterland population size, dominant airline of an airport when entering global airline strategic alliance, and an increase in GDP per capita are significant in explaining variations in airport efficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive policy indices to quantify the restrictiveness of the aviation regimes in the Asia-Pacific region, and use the indices to establish the relationship between people movement and liberalisation in policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an integrated model for evaluating the effectiveness of airlines' websites from a customer point of view based on the three perspectives of the marketing mix 4Ps, E-SERVQUAL and Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine the necessary criteria for successful airlines-within-airlines (AWAs) while updating analysis of past, present, and proposed and announced AWAs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Transport Carbon Footprint methodology has been set to identify Unit Carbon Footprints (UCFs) linked to some identified emission macro-sources (i.e., land vehicles, on-ground aircraft, airport handling and terminal equipment).

TL;DR: Empirical analysis shows that the proposed hybrid approaches based on seasonal decomposition and least squares support vector regression model are better than other time series models, indicating that they are promising tools to predict complex time series with high volatility and irregularity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of airline global alliances on the purchase intention of international air passengers in Taiwan was examined, and positive relationships between global airline alliances, brand equity, brand preference and purchase intention with a moderation effect of involvement were found.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors empirically studied the contribution of air transport to regional economic development in Germany and found that the scale and direction of output effects of air services and airport infrastructure differ among airports.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between customer satisfaction, measured by customer complaints, and the service quality of Chinese carriers was studied by using a quarterly unbalanced panel data set covering twelve large and small carriers, and they found that customer complaints rise with increases in the number of damaged bags, but at a declining rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the study of Francis and Lyon by exploring the efficiency and productivity changes of New Zealand's major airports between 2010 and 2012, using slacks-based measure (SBM) model and the Malmquist productivity index (MPI).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the structure of air traffic and its distribution among the different countries in the European Union, as well as traffic with an origin or destination in non-EU countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the leading Chinese airlines' productivity, yield, cost competitiveness and input prices, and benchmarks them against major airlines around the world, and found that Chinese airline productivity has improved significantly in the past decade but still lags behind that of industry leaders.

TL;DR: It is found that attack probabilities had to be much higher than currently observed to justify additional protective measures, and it is questionable whether special efforts to further protect airports are sensible expenditures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study presented evaluates the potential introduction of a second airport in the City of Cape Town, which is currently served solely by Cape Town International Airport, with socioeconomic development, spatial planning, transportation improvement, environmental preservation and financial viability proposed as the main objectives of airport development.

TL;DR: In this article, a study about passengers' choice behavior when traveling short-haul domestic routes in South Korea was conducted, and the results revealed that fare, access time and journey time are significantly important with respect to passenger choice.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study of low cost carrier (LCC) market entry and exit in Europe between 1992 and 2012 is presented, where the authors identify that an airline's start-up date, the nature and size of its operation and the size and composition of its aircraft fleet are key factors which influence LCC success and failure.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of passengers' socio-demographic characteristics, trip characteristics and perceptions of airport shopping on their shopping intentions at airports was examined and two primary shopping intentions, namely pre-planned shopping and impulse shopping, were identified based on the results of factor analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a comparative technical efficiency analysis of 35 Spanish airports using panel data for 2009-2011 with a data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology.
