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...

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...

COVID-19 has reshaped the global airline industry. Travel demands are volatile, and passengers have more flexibility in bookings and cancellations. More than ever, airlines have to be agile and adaptive while making operational decisions. We introduce a dynamic model to help airlines make...

Curbing CO2 emissions to combat climate change may be a defining challenge for the generation ahead. Due to their ecological footprint, rich countries have special responsibilities in this area. We present an innovative idea to deploy the evolving concept of the Physical Internet for the...

The aviation sector in Nigeria, has advanced in leaps and bounds. There has been an exponential rise in recent years, in the number of travelers using commercial flights as their mode of transportation both locally and internationally. This has been necessitated by various factors, these factors...

Despite the positive association between tourism and quality of life among the general population, a range of challenges has been found to prevent people with disabilities from participating in tourism. Participation in tourism is lower among families with a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum...

Many current problems in air traffic are related to the number of aircraft movements. Overcrowding in the airspace, difficult coordination at airports, high emissions of noise and pollutants as well as complexity of airlines are side effects of too many aircraft movements. This study examines...

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively been influencing the air transport industry. The devastating impacts, which started to be felt since the first months of 2020, consisted in rationalizing the fleet, reducing staff number and reconfiguring their networks and capacity. Therefore, understanding...

Various solutions have been suggested for the large climate impact of aviation, some of which would have far-reaching consequences for tourism. This study analyzes the discourses of climate protesters on this topic. Visual protest materials targeting aviation were photographed at three Swiss...

The current COVID-19 pandemic has hit most sectors of the world and has led to many industries coming to a standstill. It has led to restrictions of movement and travel ban. As a result of these restrictions, transport sector especially in aviation has impacted badly. A scenario-based analysis...

This study examined the effect of airport operators’ passenger service facility charge (PSFC) on airport and airline firms’ revenues, using demand and airfare functions estimated from Japanese data. In particular, it explored the relationship between PSFC and elasticity of airline routes,...

This papers analyzes dispersion in the prices that an airline charges to different customers on the same route. Such variation in airlines fares is substantial: the expected absolute difference in fares between two of an airline's passengers on a route averages thirty-six percent of the...

This paper sheds light on an empirical controversy about the effect of competition on price discrimination. We introduce individual demand uncertainty into Hotelling’s model of product differentiation and show that firms offer advance purchase discounts. Consumers choose between an early...

We propose an approach to modeling and estimating discrete choice demand that allows for a large number of zero sale observations, rich unobserved heterogeneity, and endogenous prices. We do so by modeling small market sizes through Poisson arrivals. Each of these arriving consumers then solves...

We examine the impact of the recent restrictions/bans imposed by several nations on air travel to India in the light of the increasing number of infections amid the second wave of COVID-19. We employ the standard event study method on a sample of 34 airline stocks across seven nations to find...
