Tóm tắt

The authors focus on market and behavioral factors involved in the choice of type of airline. Specifically, the paper addresses the extent to which price, income, occupation, sex, education, and several behavioral attitudes affect this choice. The data were analyzed using linear discriminant analysis. The results support the view that both economic as well as behavioral factors work to segment the airline travel market into several sets.
