본 논문의 주목적은 경쟁이 치열한 항공 산업의 주체인 국적 항공사들의 효과적인 기내식서비스 품질 경영을 위한 항공사 서비스품질 차원의 규명을 위함이다. 항공사 서비스에서 객실 서비스가 차지하는 비중이 상당하며, 그 중 기내식 서비스 시 승무원과 고객 간에 많은 상호작용이 장시간 유지된다. 특히 좌석등급에 따라 고객들의 인구통계학적 특성도 다른 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 좌석 등급에 따라 기내식 서비스 품질 차원들이 어떻게 다르게 나타나고 그 구성요인들이 무엇인가를 밝힌다. 본 논문의 결론은 항공사의 기내식 서비스 품질 차원들은 좌석 등급에 따라 큰 차이를 보이고 있어 고객의 만족도와 충성도 또한 다르게 나타날 것이라는 예측을 가능하게 한다. 그러므로 앞으로 기내식 서비스 품질만이 아니라 항공사 서비스 품질 평가 시 좌석 등급에 따른 서비스 평가가 필수적임을 본 연구 결과는 시사하고 있다.

본 연구는 항공사 기내서비스의 서비스 프로세스분석을 통한 서비스품질감사 시스템 개발에 관한 연구이다. 서비스는 고객과의 상호작용에 의해 창출되는 그 특성으로 인해 과정이 중시된다. 서비스 프로세스에 관한 연구는 서비스 개발단계에서 전체 서비스의 효율을 위해 미리 계획하는 것이 일반적이나 고객과의 상호과정을 거친 서비스창출 후에도 그 품질을 측정하기 위해 여러 가지 방법으로 분석이 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 서비스청사진 기법을 통하여 항공사 기내서비스의 서비스프로세스를 분석하고 이를 서비스품질감사를 위한 체크 리스트 도구개발에 활용하여 최종적으로는 항공사의 기내 서비스품질감사 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the importance and performance ranking and differences in inflight meal service quality. Data were collected from A airlines passengers. In order to secure the validity and reliability of the measurement tools, exploratory factor analysis were conducted, accordingly meal, service, cleanliness were deduced. IPA results are as follows. First, the quadrant I consisted of meal flavor, meal quality, meal menu, balanced diet, korean food availability, cleanliness of dishes, cleanliness of crew clothes. In the II quadrant, appropriate temperature, appropriateness of meal distribute time, cleanliness of the meal were found. So, the airline managers should have the most interest in these attributes and had to improve first. The quadrant III showed meal quantity, liquor diversity, polite attitude, immediate response to the meal, knowledge of the meal, meal freshness. Lastly, the quadrant IV showed a variety of beverage and special meal order. It is considered that resource allocation is necessary for minimizing the amount of resources invested to the quadrant IV, and then it should be allocated the quadrant II, which is high in importance but low in performance.

Airline industry which is depressed owing to terror attack on September 11 and Iraq War in early 21 century through high fuel cost and continuous recession in the second half of 90's is gradually recovering from the year of 2004. So demand of airline industry is rising step by step and investment of airlines toward customer service is also going up. Recently some mega carriers in head customer service in-flight internet service. In addition, so do domestic airlines and others ant to be backward. Many Study on usage attitude toward internet have been argued continuously as a result of everyday life using internet. Although there were survey for the revenue perspective of the firm, study on the side of the consumer is so rare. This study used the model of DEA -conjoint what users of the in-flight internet service now attitude and preference important factors to use. As a result, factors chosen are method to charge, service speed of internet, quality of contents provided and ease of approach toward information. This study presents airlines supplying in-flight internet service now to differentiation strategy for each segment.

This study aimed to prove that the effect of waiting environment on perceived waiting time and service quality evaluation of airline service procedure. Survey was conducted by questionnaires that were distributed to international airlines passengers who arrived at the airport. Totally, 300 samples were circulated, and 231 samples among those were collected. According to the results, the suggested hypotheses were accepted except the regulation effect of waiting acceptability. Physical environment has positive effect on the airport and boarding gate, and human environment has more positive effect in-flight service procedure. Thus, variables are correlated among waiting environment, perceived waiting time, and service quality evaluation of airline service. Acceptability as moderating variable has no effect due to passenger's pre awareness of estimated arrival and departure travel time certainly. At the end of this study, the results of this research can be conjugable on the airline industry, however, some limitations should be discussed by further study directions.

In this paper, we attempt to investigate the moderating effect of brand power on the effect of in-flight service quality on customer satisfaction and recommendation in the aviation industry. The results were as follows. First, in the case of high brand power FSC(full service carriers), the cost-to-benefit ratio as well as all other flight service properties influence to customer satisfaction. However, in the case of low brand power FSC, the cost-to-benefit ratio showed a greater impact of customer satisfaction compared to other in-flight services. Second, as in the case of customer satisfaction, while the cost-to-benefit ratio more influence to customer recommendation than other in-flight services in low brand power FSC, the cost-to-benefit ratio as well as all other flight service properties influence to customer recommendation together in high brand power FSC. Therefore, low brand power FSC required tit-for-tat strategy against to LCC(low cost carriers) by pursuing disruptive innovation for price. And high brand power FSC required sustaining innovation strategy through improving flight services.
