The methodology is validated against the information provided by passenger surveys at the Madrid-Barajas Airport. The research shows the potential of anonymized mobile phone records to complement and enrich the information provided by passenger surveys regarding airport catchment areas, intermodality and passenger behavior. This methodology is then applied to the study of air travel demand in Madrid-Barajas Airport in July 2020, two weeks after the COVID-19 lockdown period in Spain. Finally, we discuss how the information extracted from the fusion of mobile phone records and passenger surveys can be leveraged for the modelling and evaluation of novel intermodal solutions.

We model a Bertrand duopoly sequential move game to analyze the impact of airlines' decisions on ticket fare and greening effort, as they contemplate upon the cost option of greening investment and carbon tax. We model a duopoly market where incumbents and new entrant airlines compete in similar market. Our findings suggest that marginal utility of flight frequency decreases with 'congestion toll'. In its absence, airlines have the opportunity to operate smaller aircrafts with high frequency. Secondly, our findings also suggest that airlines have higher 'greening interest' when emission taxes are imposed; without which, airlines are reluctant to invest in green technology. Additionally, our numerical simulations suggest that carbon tax, com-bined with congestion cost, may be used as an effective instrument to improve an airline's social welfare, and drive it towards green development. In fact, an efficient investment strategy can guide an airline to use greening services for their competitive advantage.

Identifying efficient and cost-effective security procedures that do not inconvenience passengers more than conventional procedures represents a major challenge and an important endeavor. One approach that has been discussed involves risk-based security checks. Passengers who are perceived to pose a low risk of engaging in criminal activities are screened to a lesser degree (or can even board without being screened), which means that security resources can be targeted toward more high-risk passengers. While this approach offers benefits for low-risk passengers (e.g., shorter wait times), it is considered controversial due to the need to identify and classify passengers' level of risk. The present online study sought to investigate whether risk-based security checks represent an acceptable alternative to the traditional approach as well as to examine the main drivers of acceptability in this regard. The findings indicate that people's perception of risk-based security checks (security perception, fairness, and travel comfort) is the main driver of acceptability, seemingly being more important than individual characteristics (e.g., confidence in security personnel). However, the findings also suggest that risk based security checks are not seen as an adequate alternative to the current approach, as they are commonly associated with a perceived loss of both security and fairness.

Although the aviation market is a major entry point for viruses, little is known about how flight attendants view the risk of COVID-19 and whether they follow individual-organizational-governmental NPI protocols. Guided by protection motivation theory (Rogers, 1975), this study proposed an NPI model tailored specifically to the airline industry and examined how an extended NPI would affect job satisfaction and customer orientation of Korean flight attendants (n = 371). Results revealed that perceptions of COVID-19 are positively related to three types of NPIs, which in turn positively influenced job satisfaction and customer orientation. Given that the examined three types of NPIs had not been paid attention in previous research, the study's proposed conceptual model should better guide the airline industry in protecting its flight attendants with NPI strategies inside and outside aircraft.

This difficult situation has dramatically affected the airline industry by reducing the passenger volume, number of flights, airline flow patterns, and even has changed the entire airport network, especially in Northeast Asia (because it includes the original disease seed). However, although most scholars have used conventional statistical analysis to describe the changes in passenger volume before and during the COVID-19 outbreak, very few of them have applied statistical assessment or time series analysis, and have not even examined how the impact may be different from place to place. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry and affected areas (including the origin-destination flow and the airport network). First, a Clustering Large Applications (CLARA) algorithm was used to group numerous origin-destination (O-D) flow patterns based on their characteristics and to determine if these characteristics have changed the severity of the impact of each cluster during the COVID-19 outbreak. Second, two statistical tests (the paired t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test) were utilized to determine if the entire airport network and the top 30 hub airports changed during COVID-19. Four centrality measurement indices (degree, closeness, eigenvector, and betweenness centrality) of the airports were used to assess the entire network and ranking of individual hub airports. The study data, provided by The Official Aviation Guide (OAG) from December 2019 to April 2020, indicated that during the COVID-19 outbreak, there was a decrease in passenger volume (60%-98.4%) as well as the number of flights (1.5%-82.6%). However, there were no such significant changes regarding the popularity ranking of most airports during the outbreak. Before this occurred (December 2019), most hub airports were in China (April 2020), and this trend remain similar during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the values of the centrality measurement decreased significantly for most hub airports due to travel restrictions issued by the government.
查看更多>>摘要：The aim of this short paper/editorial is to evaluate key performance indicators of the JATM, discuss its devel-opment and to explore areas of future research for aviation management research more generally. The impact factor has jumped from 1.084 at the end of 2015 to a predicted 5.211 in 2021 and with the Citescore now sitting at 8.0, the JATM is in a strong position to grow its reputation and aviation research even further. Our biblio-metric analysis has shown a focus on COVID-19, service quality and discrete choice analysis. Sustainability has been identified as a long-established theme of JATM that, in addition to emerging themes, such as advanced air mobility, aviation scholars will grow further.
