Title: Evidence of Passenger Preferences for Specific Types of Airports
Accession Number: 01122401
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Studies of air travel choice behavior increasingly make use of data collected through stated choice surveys. This paper has put forward the hypothesis that when making their choices in such surveys, respondents may in fact complement the information presented to them by additional attributes. Specifically, this paper has looked at characteristics linked to airport size and breadth of service, as well as the proximity to a respondent's home. Here, the findings in a discrete choice analysis suggest that, all else being equal, respondents prefer larger airports to smaller ones while also having a preference for the airport closest to their home. This could suggest that even though respondents associate a higher likelihood of delay and other inconveniences with larger airports, there is a perception that if things go wrong (e.g. flight cancellations), the backup solutions at larger airports (e.g. replacement aircraft) are superior to those at small or regional airports.
