There exist a number of studies pertaining to the determinants of customer satisfaction between low-cost and full-service carriers in the airline industry. Most studies measured service quality using SERVQUAL based on a survey method. This study offers a new perspective by employing a big data analytic approach using SNS data, which reflects the immediate response of customers as well as trends in real time. This study chose eight factors from TripAdvisor's customer review site as determinants of customer satisfaction and compared the differences between low-cost and full-service airlines. The factors analyzed were seat comfort, customer service, cleanliness, food and beverage, legroom, entertainment, value for money, and check-in and boarding. Additionally, ratings from domestic and foreign customers were compared. The findings show that customer service and value for money are significant factors in satisfaction with low-cost airlines while all variables except legroom and entertainment are significant for full-service airlines. The results show that SNS-based data and analysis of big data are important for improving decision-making effectiveness and increasing customer satisfaction in the airline industry.

This paper examines the safety perception of passengers on low cost carriers which has made several accidents and incidents at the early stage of their business. The concept of low cost carrier is becoming more important to airline industry in Korea. This study achieves the first selecting attribute among airline service factors on domestic flights and try to indicate that how much the passengers trust in the safety of low cost carriers. It is also sets the comparative safety awareness between low cost carriers and two full service national carriers in domestic market. The safety perception of aircraft type can be a major factor for LCC choice in Korea due to frequent accidents and incidents for last two years. More than 60% of LCC passengers have increasingly considered the safety after recent accidents. The low cost airlines' images of the passengers showed that the first image of the LCC was the fare and the second image was safety. This study indicates that most of the LCC travelers will use the international low cost airlines when LCC extend their destination to adjacent countries. For the accomplishment of the low cost carriers' competitiveness in domestic market, they have to try to get rid of bad image for safety and pay extra attention to find out better services other than the safety and develop other strategies to compete against existing full service carriers.

Low Cost Carrier(LCC)s in Asia Pacific market are expected to record high growth due to the expansion of Open Sky Policy among Korea, Japan, China and South East Asia. As everybody is aware of, LCC is not only saving flight cost but also creates differentiating business model by reducing unnecessary services such as F&B and in-flight duty free sales services. Booming LCCs in Asian market will cause not only Incheon airport but also other local airports in Korea to compete heavily to attract LCCs. For example, Air Asia Group with more than 200 fleet has expanded its alliance network throughout Asia. Therefore this paper has researched a new business model operating a LCC terminal for the hub airport competitiveness. According to analysis result of case study, it was found out, considering increasing airline demand next decade, Incheon airport and other domestic airports in Korea had better change an existing terminal into a LCC Terminal(LCCT) to differentiate airport services and expand its hub network. That is because of economic feasibility, first of all, of securing hub and spoke networking capabilities with airlines and finally of developing commercial facilities customizing LCC passengers' demand.

Movements using aircraft are continuously increasing. This is because options for airlines, including eight national airlines, are becoming more diverse. In particular, FSC and LCC provide different services and prices, so it is not easy to choose, but it is analyzed that safety is the most important factor when selecting airlines in 2013 and 2017(all age groups are the same). There was a difference between 2013 and 2017 for each age group. In particular, the importance of price factors is high in 2017 compared to 2013, and other items in the 40s and 50s are also significantly changed.

In this paper, we investigate how to do resource allocation to guarantee a minimum user data rate at low signaling overhead in multi-cell orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless systems. We devise dynamic resource allocation (DRA) algorithms that can minimize the QoS violation ratio (i.e., the ratio of the number of users who fail to get the requested data rate to the total number of users in the overall network). We assume an OFDMA system that allows dynamic control of frequency reuse factor (FRF) of each sub-carrier. The proposed DRA algorithms determine the FRFs of the sub-carriers and allocate them to the users adaptively based on inter-cell interference and load distribution. In order to reduce the signaling overhead, we adopt a hierarchical resource allocation architecture which divides the resource allocation decision into the inter-cell coordinator (ICC) and the base station (BS) levels. We limit the information available at the ICC only to the load of each cell, that is, the total number of sub-carriers required for supporting the data rate requirement of all the users. We then present the DRA with limited coordination (DRA-LC) algorithm where the ICC performs load-adaptive inter-cell resource allocation with the limited information while the BS performs intra-cell resource allocation with full information about its own cell. For performance comparison, we design a centralized algorithm called DRA with full coordination (DRA-FC). Simulation results reveal that the DRA-LC algorithm can perform close to the DRA-FC algorithm at very low signaling overhead. In addition, it turns out to improve the QoS performance of the cell-boundary users, and achieve a better fairness among neighboring cells under non-uniform load distribution.

본 연구는 장거리 LCC인 AirAsia X의 네트워크 구축에 있어서의 특성을 FSC인 말레이시아 항공과 비교 분석하여 장거리 노선 진입 및 확대에 도움을 줄 수 있는 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 장거리 노선 데이터를 OAG Schedule Analyser로부터 추출하여 SNA를 이용해 2개 시기 단위로 네트워크를 분석하였다. AirAsia X의 장거리 노선 진입 이후 말레이시아 항공은 유럽 및 중동 지역뿐만 아니라 전체적으로 꾸준히 노선이 축소된 것으로 나타났다. 반면 AirAsia X는 유럽 지역 등 초장거리 대신 중국을 중심으로 동북아시아 지역의 네트워크를 더욱 늘리면서 더욱 확대된 네트워크를 구축하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구 결과 LCC 또한 7,000km 이하 장거리 노선 시장에서 성장 가능성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 안정적인 성장을 하기 위해서는 수익성 높은 일부 노선에 우선 진입한 뒤 보수적인 시각에서 단계적으로 노선을 확대하는 것이 매우 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 LCC의 장거리 시장 진입 및 네트워크 구축전략을 수립하는 것에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose - Nowadays the competition between companies has been intensified in the aviation industry. It is hard to maintain successful market share in challenging managerial environment. Not long ago, a Korean major aviation company had faced social condemnation cause of managerial staff's immoral behaviors. That company suffers great losses in company brand value in terms of authenticity as an aviation company. This research tried to show the effect of brand authenticity in the aviation industry. First of all, this research tried to define the dimensions of the brand authenticities based on the former researches. This research suggested the airline brand authenticities as three kinds of dimensions. The dimensions of authenticities consist of performance aspects, symbolic aspects and moral aspects. And this research also tried to show the relationships between brand authenticities and consumers attitudes. Research design, data and methodology - The empirical research design is based on the experiments with six types of advertisement prototypes. The advertisement prototypes were based on three types of authenticities' characteristics. The prototypes were made of core statements about each authenticity. And the advertisement prototypes also were based on the aviation company types. The types of aviation companies could be divided into FSC(full service carrier)and LCC(low cost carrier). So the whole experiments were performed with six kinds of advertisement prototypes(3 brand authenticities X 2 aviation company types). The age of participants were from 20s to 40s. The proportion of participants' demographics are as follow. Age proportion is 50% of 20s and 50% of 30s and 40s. Gender proportion is 46% males and 54% females. The experiments performed through mobile devices. Advertisement prototypes were exposed to the participants through their mobile devices, and they answered the questionnaires. All the process of experiments were performed by a professional research firm to maintain the quality of data. Results - This research suggested some important outcomes as follow. First, brand authenticity had an important role to make a positive consumer attitude on the aviation company. All the three types advertisement of authenticities had a positive impact on the consumer attitude for the aviation company. Second, the three types of brand authenticities in the performance aspects, symbolic aspects, and moral aspects had a major impact on the consumers attitudes. The performance authenticity had the biggest effect on the consumer attitudes. Third, the types of aviation companies like FSC and LCC had a different correlation with types of authenticities. All the types of authenticities affected on the consumers attitudes in the FSC case. The symbolic authenticity had the biggest effect in the FSC case. But the performance authenticity showed the most striking effect in the LCC case. Conclusion - From this research, we can get a conclusion. The brand authenticity of aviation company should be managed carefully to maintain a positive brand image and consumers attitudes. And airline brand authenticities can be consist of three type dimensions. All the types of authenticities affects on the consumers attitudes positively. The symbolic authenticity affects more in the FSC case, and the performance authenticity influences more in the LCC case.

지난 2010년 제정되어 2011년 8월과 10월에 개정된 미국 교통부의 행정입법 '항공 여객의 보호증진에 관한 법규(Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections, EAPP)'는 항공 소비자의 보호를 위한 연방정부의 입법으로 우리에게 시사하는 바가 크다. 특히 오늘날 장시간 활주로 지연과 관련한 항공사의 의무사항, 항공사의 고객 서비스강화, 항공권 광고와 판매 시에 발생하는 문제점 인식 등을 감안할 때 항공업계의 현 시류를 잘 반영하고 있다. 먼저, 장시간 활주로 지연과 관련하여 국내선 3시간, 국제선 4시간을 초과하는 활주로 대기 금지, 활주로에서 2시간 이상 대기 시 승객에게 물과 음식 제공, 화장실과 의료서비스 상시 제공, 지연발생 최초 30분과 이후 매 30분 간격으로 진전사항 공지 및 항공기 출입문이 열려있을 때 승객의 하기 가능성 안내 등이 규정되어 있다. 그 밖에도 고객서비스에 관한 절차와 계획의 수립을 비롯하여 그러한 계획을 활주로 지연에 관한 비상계획절차, 운송약관 등과 함께 항공사의 인터넷 웹사이트에 공시할 의무도 부과 하였다. 또한 고객 불만사항 처리를 위해 각 항공사는 모니터링 전담자를 배치하여야 하고, 고객 불만사항 처리시한도 법으로 마련되었다. 그리고 최근 이용자가 많은 SNS를 통한 고객 불만사항 처리에 관한 규정도 도입되었다. 또한 항공권 초과판매로 인한 비자발적 탑승거부 상황에 대한 규정도 마련하였다. 즉, 자발적 탑승 유예자 모집 시에 지급 대가를 명확히 제시하고, 비자발적 탑승거부승객에 대한 배상기준도 마련하였다. 또한, 항공권 판매광고 시에 총액운임 표시제도를 도입하였다. 이에 따르면 항공권 광고에서 항공운임은 실제 소비자가 구매할 때 지급하여야 하는 총액운임을 표시하여야 하며, 항공권 구매를 조건으로 기타 여행상품과의 묶음판매도 규제하고 있다. 이와 같은 법규가 시행된 이후 여러 건의 법적 쟁송이 있었다. 그 주요한 사건으로 우선, 스피릿 항공사건을 들 수 있다. 이 사건은 원고 항공사들이 법 내용 중 총액운임 표시제, 환불규정, 구매 후 추가 지불금지 규정이 자사의 헌법상 권리인 표현의 자유를 침해할 뿐만 아니라 그 법규의 내용이 지나치게 자의적이고 일관성이 없으므로 무효라고 주장하였다. 이 밖에도 상당수 법규 위반 사례가 확인되었는데 대표적인 사건이 유나이티드 항공사건이라 할 수 있다. 본 사안에서 유나이티드 항공은 장시간 활주로 지연상황에서 승객들에게 하기가능 사항을 적절히 고지하지 않았고, 그러한 지연상황을 DOT에 보고하면서 일부 사항을 누락시켜 문제가 되었다. 한편, 이러한 시대적 요구에 발맞추어 최근 우리 항공법도 항공 소비자 보호에 관한 규정을 추가하였다. 하지만 활주로 지연과 관련한 다양한 피해구제책의 마련, 항공권 초과판매에 따른 비자발적 탑승거절에 따른 보상기준 제시, 항공권 광고 시에 운임표시에 관한 총액 운임제의 기준 마련, 인터넷을 활용한 항공운송계약 체결과 관련한 소비자 보호제도 기반조성 등에 관한 사항들은 향후 추가 논의를 거쳐 도입될 필요가 있을 것으로 본다.
