Purpose: Establishing a competitive advantage in the aviation market is essential as the competition among domestic airlines intensifies. Therefore, this study examined the management strategies of both large domestic airlines and low-cost airlines. Research design, data, and methodology: This study classified domestic airlines into Full Service Airlines (FSA) and Low Cost Carriers (LCC), examined each airline's current status and characteristics, and conducted case analyses of FSA and LCC based on Porter's generic competitive strategy. Results: The analyses determined that LCC primarily implemented a cost-advantage strategy, and FSA implemented a differentiation strategy. However, as competition intensified, FSA pursued cost-advantage strategies while establishing LCC through subsidiaries. There are various specific cost reduction methods, including service simplicity, scalability, high utilization, low landing fees, low-cost unit, and point-to-point flight strategies. Conclusions: LCCs are focusing on cost advantage strategies that reduce costs; however, the FSA also runs special price events that are as good as LCCs and are comparable to LCCs on some routes. Furthermore, LCC has recently expanded its mid- and long-distance routes, making competition for long-distance routes with major airlines unavoidable.

With the exception of some large domestic airlines with adequate maintenance capability, most low-cost and small airlines do not have the facilities, equipment/tools, or manpower to perform periodic inspections over "C check." They are repaired according to maintenance programs specified by manufacturers. The outsourcing (domestic or overseas) of maintenance contracts is thus crucial to achieve good quality service at low cost, and these contracts therefore need to be signed with a full understanding of what is to be expected. This study aims to determine the requirements to be considered prior to finalizing such contracts.

국내 저비용항공사인 제주항공과 한성항공은 국내 지역항공사로 운영 중에 있으며, 일부 노선에 있어서는 기존 항공사들과 동일한 노선에서 가격 차별화를 통하여 사업을 전개해 가고 있다. 제주항공과 한성항공의 노선은 현재 국내선 주요 노선에 한정하여 운영되고 있으며, 최근 근거리 국제선에 취항하기 위해 준비 중에 있다. 특히 운송비중이 높은 한중일 노선에 취항하기 위해 국제선 근거리 노선 취항을 희망하고 있어, 만일 지역항공사들의 국제선 취항이 가능해 질 경우 기존 항공사들의 운송네트워크에 큰 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 또한 취항을 준비하고 있는 항공사들은 지역의 경제발전과 항공운송의 필요성에 따라 서둘러 지역의 항공사를 준비하고 있다. 이와 같이 국내 지역항공사들의 국내선 취항과 근거리 국제선 운항 및 취항준비의 성공 여부는 아직 판단하기 이르지만, KTX 도입과 기존 항공사의 국내선 축소 등 변화된 환경 하에서 지역항공사들의 네트워크 운영을 분석할 필요가 있다. 또한 많은 지역항공사들이 한중일의 국제선 취항을 앞두고 있고 이러한 성공 여부에 따라 필요한 장거리 노선도 점유하게 된다면, 기존 항공사와 지역항공사간의 차별화는 더욱 줄어들 것이며, 제3의 또는 제4의 거대 민항을 등장시키는 결과가 될 것이다. 본 연구는 이제 도입단계에 있는 국내 항공운 송시장에서의 지역 항공사의 노선 구조 및 시장 진입을 분석하여 지역의 저비용항공사 도입과 근거리 국제선 시장에서의 지역항공사 노선개발에 대하여 분석하였다. 특히 지역항공사들의 노선 개설을 위한 항공여행자들을 대상으로 한 수요자설문조사와 항공운송 서비스를 제공하는 공급자인 항공사와 여행사를 대상으로 한 전문가 조사를 수행하였다.

Deregulation privatization regionalism and globalization are the specific examples of the recent trends in the world air transport market. As encouraged by the international trends and the domestic policy of promoting market mechanism Korean has been driving a two-airline policy since 1989. But due to the absence of experience and philosophy about the airline co-mpetition both Korean government and the two airlines have been criticized for failing to set fair-competition rules and for struggling to secure air service rights regardless of national interest. Therefore this study shows the costs and benefits of a two-airline policy in a small count-ry reviews the empirical studies about the cost structure of American and Canadian airlines and analyzes the economic consequences of allocating air service rights between two airlines. The policy recommendations are (1) removing government restrictions and expanding ai-rport facilities to develop the domestic market (2) retaining the two-airline policy in the in-ternational market (3) increasing traffic density rather than expanding network for the small airline (4) improving comparative advantage through a global alliance and a technological innovation for the big airline and (5) building an official committee for co-ordinating the two airlines' interests.

The emission trading system implemented in Korea is a system in which the government allocates or sells emission rights by setting the emission allowable amount to economic players subject to the emission trading system, allowing companies to freely trade shortfall or extra money through the emission trading market. Korea also had implemented its first emission trading system scheme period of time from 2015 to 2017. As a result of the first planning period in which total of seven Korean airlines were targeted, the emission amount was about 5.51 million KAU, while the quota amount was only about 4.85 million KAU, about 116% of the actual quota was emitted and Domestic airlines have incurred additional costs of about 10.7 billion won. Due to ICAO's implementation of CORSIA, the airlines are expected to have to shoulder additional costs because purchasing exceed quota will be increased in order to offset excess emissions not only on domestic but also on international routes. Thus, this paper had analyzed the characteristics of the carbon trading system of air transport industry and suggested a mix of regulatory policies as an improvement method.

Recently due to shortage of pilots from aviation developed countries such as America, Japan and etc, not even regional airlines but also major airlines are facing difficulties of pilot shortage. Through statistic data, ICAO and Boeing Company are predicting that roughly 8 thousands of new pilots will be short per year. Therefore, to solve this pilot shortage, countries are searching solutions like reducing air route, and extending regular retirement. This study analyzes domestic pilot supply market and compares systems of pilot training between the domestic system and the system of America and Japan. From the comparison, the study has deducted improvements for the role of domestic certification system, ATO(Approval of Training Organizations) operation, and related organizations including the government.

With the progress and prosperity of commerce and industry, time and money increasingly form an equal partnership. Using air carriers to shorten the round-trip time has become an important choice for many people in the tourism process. Faced with increasing competition within the aviation service environment, airline evaluation criteria and the requirements of customers are gradually dominating the evaluation mechanism for air transport service quality. Over the past few years, attention on the transport quality of service has been primarily focused more on land-based transport, and less on the relevant evaluation criteria of airlines. Many studies have shown that quality of service will directly affect customer satisfaction, resulting in the fact that good quality aviation services have become increasingly important. Therefore, in practical industrial operations with limited resources, there is an urgent need to delve into the assessment guidelines that have an impact on customers when they choose an airline, which can be used as a basis for improving customer satisfaction. Through a literature review and a reliability and validity analysis, this study summarized 19 evaluation criteria, using the purposive sampling method and the decision laboratory method (DEMATEL). In addition, this study viewed the causal relationship between the evaluation criteria and the degree of association as a continuing project for airlines. This study selected appropriate empirical samples from two domestic airlines. The conclusions may provide recommendations for all airlines.

우리나라 항공운송산업은 1948년 10월에 대한국민항공사(KNA) 설립된 이후, 올해로 민항 70년의 역사를 이어 왔다. 현재 우리나라는 9개의 국제항공운송사업 면허를 보유한 항공사가 활발하게 사업을 영위하고 있으며, 2017년 기준으로 우리나라는 항공운송 수송실적(국내+국제)이 세계 8위를 차지할 정도로 세계 항공업계에서 그 위상을 확고히 하고 있다. 본고는 현재 우리나라 항공운송산업에 대한 분석을 통해 국내 항공운송산업의 내재적 문제점과 그에 대한 정책적 내지 법적으로 보완할 사항이 무엇인지에 대해 살펴보고, 향후 우리나라가 글로벌 항공 강국으로 지속 발전할 수 있는 '항공정책 방향'을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 항공관련 통계자료를 분석해보면, 우리나라 항공운송산업은 매우 높은 성장률을 보이고 있으며, 국적항공사들도 지속성장을 위한 투자를 계속하고 있다. 나아가 새로운 기업들도 시장진입을 위해 노력하고 있다. 2018년 11월 현재 4개 기업이 국제항공운송사업 면허를 신청하였고, 1개 기업이 (화물)국제항공운송사업 면허를 신청한 상태이며 국토교통부는 2019년 1분기까지 면허발급 여부를 결정할 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 상황에 대해 일부에서는 경쟁촉진을 통한 가격인하와 소비자 편익 향상을 기대하고 있으나, 반대편에서는 경쟁심화로 인한 항공사의 재무구조 악화와 안전투자 소홀을 우려하기도 한다. 현재 상황에서 우리나라 항공운송산업의 문제점을 정리하면 첫째, 저비용항공사들이 내국인 수요 유치에 집중하는 반면 외국인 수요 유치에 대한 노력이 부족하여 장기적이고 지속적인 성장의 기반이 취약하며, 둘째, 최근 몇 년간의 고도성장에 따라 조종사, 정비사와 같은 항공 전문인력의 부족과 주요공항의 슬롯이 포화상태에 이르러 지속성장의 장애가 되고 있으며, 셋째, 항공사들의 재무건전성이 체계적이고 지속적으로 관리되지 않아서 급작스런 지정학적 리스크나 글로벌 경기 침체시에는 항공사들의 재무상태가 일시에 급격이 나빠지고, 그 피해는 고스란히 소비자들에게 귀결될 위험이 있다. 국적항공사들이 지속 발전하기 위해서는 첫째, 성장기반을 세계 항공시장의 무한한 수요에 초점을 맞추고 국제경쟁력을 갖추어 나가고, 둘째, 정부에서 항공 인프라를 항공운송산업 규모에 맞게 지원하여야 하며, 셋째, 우리나라 항공운송산업의 미래를 이끌어 나갈 항공 전문인력을 체계적으로 양성하고, 넷째, 정부는 상시적으로 항공사들의 재무상태를 관리하여 소비자의 피해를 미연에 방지해야 할 것이다. 현재 항공운송산업은 극심한 경쟁이 일상화 되어 있다. 국적항공사의 지속가능한 발전을 위해서는 항공사들이 모두 치열하게 노력해야 할 뿐만 아니라, 정부의 모든 기관들도 우리 항공사들이 국제경쟁에서 이길 수 있도록 정책적으로 뒷받침 해나가야 할 것이다.

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.
