ABSTRACT
This study analyzes air passenger route choice
behavior for long-haul inter-continental travel. It employs the SP (state preference) technique and logit modeling to investigate the impact of route
development via neighboring countries in the region. With the Japanese government pursuing an increase in international
routes at Haneda International Airport, and the Chinese government planning to
construct Beijing Capital Second International Airport by 2019, the competition
among airports to serve as hubs in Northeast Asia will increase significantly.
Korean passengers will have a greater number of route choices when traveling to North America or Europe, utilizing not
only direct flights from Incheon
International Airport but also flights via Tokyo or Beijing area
airports including Haneda International Airport, Narita International Airport,
Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Capital Second International
Airport. Accordingly, passengers will choose among the alternatives by
considering fares and flight times. As such, it is
essential for airports to offer flights with competitive prices for transit
passengers to become successful competitive airports in the region. Therefore, it will become more important for market decision makers to strive
toward more attractive ticket prices and better route network quality.
KEYWORDS
Passenger route choice behavior, SP technique, multinomial logit model, nested logit model, competitive airports in Northeast Asia.
