We consider a two-fare, two-period airline seat capacity allocation problem where consumers may choose different options in purchasing an airline ticket. A consumer may decide to wait for reopening of the same fare class ticket which is originally intended to buy, or may buy a different fare class ticket within the same period, if the originally requested fare is unavailable. We investigate the impact of the consumer buying behavior on the optimal solutions and the expected revenue.

Purpose: This study intended to examine the effects of the characteristics of platforms for purchasing airline tickets on perceived ease of use, usefulness, and e-loyalty, applying the technology acceptance model. Research design, data and methodology: A research model was established based on previous studies, and data were collected from consumers with experience in the airline ticket purchasing platform. 175 valid samples were used and analyzed using SEM. Results: Characteristics of the ticket purchase platform were classified into sub-factors of accessibility, functionality and information reliability through theoretical consideration. The established hypotheses for the research were partially accepted. Conclusions: First, functionality and information reliability were found to have significant positive effects on perceived ease of use, while accessibility did not have such effect. Second, accessibility did not affect the perceived usefulness, and both functionality and information reliability had a significant positive effect on perceived usefulness. Third, it was found that the perceived ease of use had a positive effect on perceived usefulness. Finally, it was found that perceived ease of use did not affect e-loyalty of the ticket purchasing platform, only perceived usefulness affected e-loyalty. This study had important academic and practical implications in the context of air ticket distribution.

The supply chain of the airline industry includes multiple airline companies, travel agencies and customers. Various air fares are offered by travel agencies. The travel agencies grant deposit to the airline company in advance and preoccupy seats with deep discount, which called group-discount-ticket. The group-discount-ticket offers the lowest air fare but it does not base on real demand. So the information flow generated by group-discount-ticket can cause the information distortion in airline supply chain. This study analyzes the bullwhip effect in the airline industry. A mathematical model is formulated and managerial suggestions is provided.

This study investigates how airline customers evaluate e-ticket process newly adopted by many of airlines. Customers are highly satisfied with the easy of confirmation on their itineraries and the channel provided through while they are worry about the likelihood of leakage of personal information during e-ticket process. Highly experienced customers on the usage of e-ticket are more concerned about ancillary aspects such as visual image of I.T.R(Itinerary and Receipt) and travel information than functional aspect such as easy of confirmation on itinerary. And also experienced customers are more likely to repurchase e-ticket and when purchasing tickets they do it through internet and call center of airlines rather than travel agencies and ticket office of airlines.

본 연구는 항공권 예매 서비스 중 스카이스캐너 앱을 중심으로 사용자의 서비스 이용 현상에 관해 연구하고, 더 나은 사용 경험을 제공하기 위한 개선 방안을 제안하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 항공권 예매 서비스의 현황과 특정 연령에서 사용성이 부족한 점에 주목해 살펴보았다. 그 결과 세 가지 인사이트를 도출해낼 수 있었다. 첫째, 명확한 정보를 제공해야 한다. 둘째, 학습이 용이하고 편리한 조작 과정을 제공해야 한다. 셋째, 오류 시 대처방안을 제공해야 한다. 이 연구는 주요 온라인 항공권 예매 서비스인 스카이스캐너를 통해 항공권 예매 서비스의 개선 방안을 제시했다는 점에 의의가 있다. 앞으로 이 연구를 바탕 삼아 후속 연구에는 도출된 인사이트를 적용하여 화면 디자인과 정보구조 개선, 실버세대를 위한 스카이스캐너 실버 버전 등 다양한 비즈니스 모델에 적용하는 등 다양한 관련 연구가 뒤따를 것을 기대한다.

We consider a two-period airline revenue management problem where customers may act strategically. Specifically, we study a two-fare-class airline seat inventory allocation problem which allow for the possibility that a customer may decide to defer to purchase in the hope that a cheaper ticket than those currently on offer (expensive tickets) become available. We also allow for the possibility that some customer will buy a more expensive ticket if the cheaper tickets are not available. We show how to find the optimal booking limits in the presence of such strategic customer behavior and investigate the impact of such strategic customer behavior on the expected revenue. The results are compared with those by the expected marginal seat revenue (EMSR) heuristic approach (Belobaba, 1987, 1989) with strategic customer behavior.

The number of airline passengers in China has rapidly increased, so understanding the relationship between brand equity of airlines in China and ticket purchase intention of Chinese passengers is important for airline business success in China. Using the structural equation modeling, this study explores the relationships among determinants of brand equity as well as the relationships between brand equity, transition cost, and purchase intention. The major findings are: brand equity of airlines directly influences purchase intention; transition cost directly influences brand equity; and transition cost indirectly influences purchase intention in China. In addition, the results show that marketing strategies using the airline brand can be more effective for certain customer groups, including high income customers, married customers, government servants, and businessmen.

인터넷과 정보통신기술의 발달과 보편화로 각 업계에서는 고객의 편의증진과 함께 업무자동화 및 간소화로 비용을 절감할 수 있는 기회 요인이 되고 있다. 이로 인하여 e-비지니스에 대한 관심이 점차 늘어나고 있으며 항공사는 다양한 분야의 e-서비스를 개발적용하고 있다. 전자항공권(e-ticket)은 이미 모든 항공사에서 전면적으로 실시하고 있으며, 고객이 직접 인터넷을 통한 발권 비율이 증가하고 있어 항공사는 여행사에게 지불하는 수수료를 절약하여 이를 다시 항공권 가격을 인하하거나 추가수입에 적용하고 있다. 항공사 서비스 가운데 가장 긴 시간을 할애하는 기내서비스 가운데 무선 인터넷과 통신 그리고 오락에 적용하는 e-서비스는 항공사가 타 항공사와의 경쟁력을 높이기 위하여 서비스를 개발하고 있다. 무선주파수 인식기술인 RFID는 여객운송서비스 가운데 수하물의 분실과 파손방지를 위하여 적용하고 있으며 앞으로 다양한 서비스에 적용할 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 항공사 승객이 경험한 e-서비스요인에 따른 재구매의도와 추천의사 그리고 전체만족도에 대한 영향관계를 밝혀 업계에 도움이 되는 시사점을 찾고자 하였다. 결과로 항공사의 e-서비스는 전체 만족도에 영향을 주지만 재구의도와 추천의사는 예약발권 e-서비스만이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose - As more low cost carriers are introduced, the competition between the low cost carriers to become the nation's leading low cost carrier is also being intensified. The purpose of this study is to select various choice attributes for low cost carrier and figure out important factors that customers take into account for low cost carrier selection. The study also involves in establishing the relationship between perceived value, customer satisfaction, and customer behavior Intention, in an effort to identify choice attributes that are important to customers' low cost carrier. Research design, data, and methodology - To examine these research models, samples were collected from 247 peoples who visited In-Cheon international Airport during June, 2017. Results - The results of the study showed that, 'reservation service', 'airport service', 'in-flight service', and 'price' services have a significant effect on the perceived value of the choice attributes. While 'reservation service', 'airport service', 'in-flight service', and 'flight operation service' have a significant effect on the customer satisfaction of the choice attributes, perceived value has a significant effect on customer satisfaction. Perceived value has a significant effect on customer behavior intention. Finally, customer satisfaction has a significant effect on customer behavior intention. Conclusions - Flight operation service has no significant effect on perceived value of the choice attributes of low cost carriers, which indicates that the low cost carriers have not yet been well-established in the flight operation service sector. It seems likely that low cost carrier will be able to gain a competitive advantage over other companies if they expand their routes and improve the convenience of flight connections. In addition, the results show that the price service does not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction of the choice attributes of low cost carriers. From this, we may assume that the airline ticket prices of low cost carriers are already low, and the price cannot be a deciding factor in the competitive advantage of low cost carriers. To achieve higher customer satisfaction of the choice attributes, companies should strengthen the competitiveness of 'reservation service', 'airport service', 'in-flight service', and 'flight operation service'.

본 연구는 인터넷 경로 도입으로 인한 경로배제위협이 여행사의 대응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 검토하기 위하여 진행되었다. 우선 여행사가 취할 수 있는 대응방안을 경로역량의 강화, 거래분산화 경향, 그리고 사업영역변경 의도로 구분하였다. 그리고 전통적인 경로상의 대응과 인터넷을 활용한 대응이라는 측면을 추가하여 가설을 도출하였다. 주된 논의는 경로유형 간 경쟁에 근거를 두었으며, 재중간상화의 논의를 추가하여 인터넷을 활용한 대응에 대한 논의를 제시하였다. 결과에서 전통적인 판매역량 강화는 여행사의 경로배제위협의 인식에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 나머지의 가설들은 기대와 같이 지지되었다.
