The taxation of aviation is a frequently discussed component of governments’ efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines the impact of the German aviation tax on passenger numbers during the period 2011-2019 using five panel data estimators and a Specification Curve...

The tax incidence is central to the effectiveness of taxation. In this paper, I examine the pass-through rate of an air passenger tax to airfares. Additionally, I analyse its impact on passenger numbers, air transport capacity, and the interaction with supply and demand elasticity. For...

Firms facing complex objectives often decompose the problems they face, delegating different parts of the decision to distinct sub-units. Using comprehensive data and internal models from a large U.S. airline, we establish that airline pricing is not well approximated by a model of the firm as a...

Air travel and the associated greenhouse gas emissions have rapidly increased over the past decade. To contain this growth, many European countries have implemented passenger taxes on flight tickets. Meanwhile, some European countries have developed their High Speed Rail (HSR) network, which may...

This cross-sectional mixed-method study examines the effect of Ambient Conditions and Space/Function on favorable behavioral intentions of Philippine Airlines passengers. The study employed observational research, as well as a quantitative survey combined with qualitative in-depth interviews to...

Background: Airport service quality and service orientation are important aspects of managing passenger satisfaction and airport image. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of service orientation and airport service quality on airport image through passenger satisfaction as an...

In recent decades full-service airlines have targeted price-sensitive passengers, traditionally targeted by low-cost airlines, by promoting their economy class options. This paper aims to guide both types of airlines in promoting their economyclass options by utilizing factors influencing...

This study explores the possibility of using VR as an in-flight entertainment tool. The relationship between flight-related anxiety and attitude toward using in-flight VR is examined. Furthermore, the willingness to buy airline tickets is also explored if in-flight VR entertainment is provided....

The entry of High-Speed Railways (HSR) represents a disruptive competition to airlines, particularly for short- to medium-distance journeys. Utilizing a unique dataset that contains the details of all flights departing from Beijing to 113 domestic destinations in China since January 2009, we...

We introduce a model of oligopoly dynamic pricing where firms with limited capacity face a sales deadline. We establish conditions under which the equilibrium is unique and converges to a system of differential equations. Using unique and comprehensive pricing and bookings data for competing...
