Support vector machines (SVMs), that utilize a mixture of the L1-norm and the L2-norm penalties, are capable of performing simultaneous classification and selection of highly correlated features. These SVMs, typically set up as convex programming problems, are re-formulated here as simple convex...

This paper seeks to improving our understanding of air passengers’ decision-making processes by testing a conceptual model that considers service expectation, service perception, service value, passenger satisfaction, airline image, and behavioural intentions simultaneously. For this...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This article investigates how perceived price, airline service quality, perceived value, passenger satisfaction and airline image determine passengers’ future behavioural intentions. To test the conceptual framework, structural equation modelling using a maximum likelihood estimator...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper investigates how air passengers’ expectations, ticket price, airline service quality, value, passenger satisfaction and airline image determine their buying behaviour. To test the conceptual frameworks, path analysis was applied to data collected from Korean and Australian...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> A real-time operation monitoring system -- Aircraft Turnaround Monitoring System -- is developed based on a system framework to monitor aircraft turnaround operations at an airport. Mobile computing devices (PDAs) and wireless network technology General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) are...

A new approach for the investigation of aircraft turnaround operation performance at airports is proposed in this paper. A Markovian type simulation model is used to simulate operational uncertainties arising from aircraft turnaround operations. Monte Carlo Simulation techniques are implemented...

Gate-to-gate punctuality has long been the operational goal of the air transport industry. In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to simulate the efficiency of aircraft turnaround operations at airports. Scenarios for different aircraft punctuality performance have been modelled and...

Aviation delays inconvenience travelers and result in financial losses for stakeholders. Without complex data pre-processing, delay data collected by the existing IATA delay coding system are inadequate to support advanced delay analytics, e.g. large-scale delay propagation tracing in an airline...

The notion of co-locating alliance carriers to their designated terminals in airports has gained significant interest in recent years. While benefits on the part of airlines are made clear by existing literature on alliance-hubbing, the tangible benefits to airport operators are less clear due...

The aim of this paper is to examine the air leisure arrivals' ground travel mode choice in the context of their decision to disperse beyond the gateway. A stated choice experiment was designed to examine the dispersal and travel mode choice of leisure visitors arriving on air transport at...
