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.

Purpose - This study aims to analyze the characteristics of network construction by Norwegian Air and AirAsia X, which are recognized as leading airlines in the long-haul LCC market. Based on this analysis, this study intends to provide implications for networking strategies for Korean LCCs that seek to enter the long-haul market when the aviation market stabilizes again upon the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology - To conduct the network analysis on long-haul low-cost airlines, the Official Airline Guide (OAG) Schedule Analyzer was used to extract long-haul data of Norwegian Air and AirAsia X. To analyze the trend of the long-haul route network, we obtained the data from 3 separate years between 2011 and 2019. The network was analyzed using UCINET 6.0 in order to examine the network structure of long-haul low-cost airlines and the growth trend of each stage. Findings - Analyzing the network of long-haul routes by visualizing the network structure of low-cost carriers showed the following results. In its early years, Norwegian Air's long-haul route network, centering on regional airports in Spain and Sweden, connected European regions, the Middle East, and Africa. As time passed, however, the network expanded and became steadily strong as the airline connected airports in other European countries to North America and Asia. In addition, in 2011, AirAsia X showed links to parts of Europe, such as London and Paris, the Middle East and India, and Australia and Northeast Asia, centering on the Kuala Lumpur Airport. Although the routes in Europe were suspended, the network continued to expand while concentrating on routes of less than approximately 7,000 km. It was found that instead of giving up on ultra-long-haul routes such as Europe, the network was further expanded in Northeast Asia, such as the routes in Korea and Japan centering on China. Originality/value - Until the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Norwegian Air actively expanded long-haul routes, resulting in the number of long-haul routes quintupling since 2011. The unfortunate circumstance, wherein the world aviation market was rendered stagnant due to the outbreak of COVID-19, hit Norwegian Air harder than any other low-cost carriers. However, in the case of AirAsia X, it was found that it did not suffer as much damage as Norwegian Air because it initially withdrew from unprofitable routes over 7,000 km and grew by gradually increasing profitable destinations over shorter distances. When the COVID-19 pandemic ends and the aviation market stabilizes, low-cost carriers around the world, including Korea, that enter the long-haul route market will need to employ strategies to analyze the marketability of potential routes and to launch the routes that yield the highest profits without being bound by distance. For stable growth, it is necessary to take a conservative stance; first, by reviewing the business feasibility of the operating a small number of highly profitable routes, and second, by gradually expanding these routes.

항공안전에 대한 항공선진국의 항공안전정책을 통해 얻을 수 있는 시사점을 위해 미국, 영국, 호주, 일본의 항공안전정책을 살펴보았으며 외국의 저비용항공사의 현황 및 한국의 저비용항공사의 안전정책 및 항공기 사고에 따른 항공안전 현황을 살펴보았다. 기존의 저비용항공사와 이제 신규 저비용항공사가 지역을 기반으로 지역항공사의 개념으로 탄생함으로써 새로운 저비용항공사의 시장이 형성되고 있는 상황이며 인근 동남아 지역에는 말레이시아의 와 같은 안전의 신뢰성을 갖고 정부가 지원하는 저비용항공사가 있는 반면 항공기 사고로 인하여 경영이 악화되었거나 안전성에 대한 신인도가 추락된 저비용항공사가 산재되어 있어서 외국의 저비용항공사에 대한 안전성 검증과 함께 국내 항공사의 국제선 진출에 대비한 신뢰성 향상 및 국제적 안전성 확보를 위한 안전관리 대책이 필요하다. 또한 현재 항공자유화와 항공수요의 다양화로 저비용항공사 증가 추세에 있으며 최근 제주항공, 에어부산, 진에어, 이스타항공이 국내선 운항과 동시에 국제선운항을 시작하였거나 준비하고 있는 상태이다. 본 논문은 최초 저비용항공사 출범 직후의 안전성에 대한 문제를 중심으로 연구를 진행하였으며 이후 이들 항공사 사고가 발생할 개연성에 대한 부분도 고려하였다. 따라서 국내외 항공시장의 환경변화에 능동적으로 대처하고 항공산업의 경쟁력 제고를 위해 신규 저비용항공사의 안전관리의 강화가 그 언제보다 필요한 시기라고 생각된다. 따라서 해외의 항공안전정책 가운데 미연방항공청의 Flight Plan 하위의 Business Plan처럼 구체적인 항공안전계획이 필요하다고 생각되며 본 논문이 저비용항공사의 항공안전 제고 노력에 미력이나마 도움이 되기를 바란다.

Korea meteorological administration(KMA) has started to levy air meteorological service charge on both national and foreign carriers since 2005. The charge has grown on 2010 and 2014 twice. However, KMA has still kept asking airlines to agree with another increase in the charge due to the low cost of goods recovery ratio of 7%. The air meteorological charge has changed from 2,210 KRW at the beginning to 11,400 KRW as of June 2018. According to ARIMA intervention time series analysis, it was proven national carriers would make a payment of 831 million KRW 2018 and 1,024 million KRW 2019, showing 186.2% and 123.2% increase compared to last year respectively. The total amount of charge for both national LCC and foreign airlines was aggregated up to 1,952 million KRW 2019, 227% bigger than the charge paid at 2017. Considering the 50% increase of consumer price index last decade, the increased charge would impair the global competitiveness of national carriers. It could be suggested that current air meteorological charge scheme be improved to apply overseas trend and for national carriers to have a competitive advantage in global aviation market.

This study investigates the importance of professional models in the promotion of the corporate brand attitude through differentiated marketing strategies in the saturated low-cost carrier (LCC) aviation market. The attributes of professional models affect brand attitude and brand loyalty. The study seeks to identify the factors affecting brand loyalty through the contribution of professional models. The empirical analysis is based on a questionnaire survey conducted online and off line over a seven-month period, from January to July 2019. Some 292 valid samples could be used. The study conducted a positive factor analysis using AMOS 18.0 and a reliability analysis using SPSS 18.0. Reliability of measurement tools was performed using Cronbach's alpha. The attributes of professional models relating to airline advertising include: reliability, attractiveness and expertise. These attributes are shown to have a significant impact on brand attitude and brand loyalty toward LCCs. The findings reveal that reliability and expertise have a significant influence on the brand attitude and the formation of brand loyalty. Professional models' attractiveness has no significant impact on brand attitudes and brand loyalty. The mediating effect of professional models' attributes on the relationship between brand attitude and brand loyalty also show a significant positive effect.

본 연구는 아시아 최대 저비용 항공사인 A 항공사에서 비행 근무 중인 객실승무원의 헤어스타일 유형을 분류하였다. 객실 승무원들은 일정한 출퇴근 시간을 유지하는 것이 아니라 비행스케줄에 따라 출퇴근 시간의 다양화로 헤어스타일도 변화되기 마련이다. 따라서 여성 객실승무원의 경우 출근하기 전 시간적 여유가 있을 때는 쪽머리나 업스타일과 같은 헤어스타일을 유지하기도 한다. 그러나 머리를 다듬는 시간이 적을 때는 원랭스 커트와 그래쥬에이션과 같은 일상의 헤어스타일을 유지하거나 포니테일과 같은 묶은 머리를 선호한다. 객실승무원들은 다양한 헤어스타일을 유지하지만 모발의 색조는 자연 갈색이나 약간 밝은 염색을 선호하고 과도한 탈색에 의한 밝은 명도 모발은 선호하지 않는다.
