Utilizing purposive inspecting and accommodation testing strategy, essential information were gathered from a sum of 75 clients from two Airline organizations (ATCL and Precision Air Plc.) at Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA). The collected data were broke down through Smart PLS. the discoveries uncovered that consumer loyalty is essentially affected by client seen, service quality administration; client support related item includes procedures, and service quality measurement. For ATCL and Precision Air, customer perceived value found to be a powerful indicator for customer satisfaction, followed by service quality management, then service quality dimensions, and customer service-related product features strategies found to be the least important factor for customer satisfaction. Based on the findings, it was suggested that both ATCL and Precision Air should gain more information about traveller‟s attitudes and develop plans to improve the weak point. As per study findings, managers should try in customer perceive value and technical quality first. Completing a trip accurately, punctuality in departure and cost benefit is what the passengers expect in the first. It is highly desirable that ATCL and Precision reduced delay, technical faults, unrealistic pricing, and security. The study also suggests that Precision Air needs some investment in tangible feature. Providing modern variety and choices of in-flight entertainment facilities are inevitable. It is suggested to use multiple tools and programs to entertain passengers including broadcasting music, showing films, giving puzzle and various magazine and Newspapers. This study adopted ACSI model to measure customer satisfaction with Air Transport Services in Tanzania. It was much interesting if other studies can be conducted by using the same model in other different industries. This study took at Airline iv customer satisfaction by evaluating services generally. It is suggested further studies to be conducted more focused on specific and different parts or areas of Airline services such as check-in services, ticketing, in-flight services, Customer services- related product features, etc. several limitations of the study should be observed. v LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS ACSI American Customer Satisfaction Index model AFRAA Africa Airlines Association ATCL Air Tanzania Company Limited ATR Average True Range Aircraft Manufacturer AVE Average Variance Extracted CLV Customer Perceived Value CPV Customer Perceived Value CSRF Customer Services Related Product Features EDP Expectancy Disconfirmation Paradigm FAQ Frequently Asked Questions IATA International Air Transport Association IPMA Importance Performance Map Analysis JNIA Julius Nyerere International Airport JRO Kilimanjaro Airport KLM KoninklijkeLutchvaartMaatschappij LVC Latent Variable Correlation PLC Public Limited Company PLS Partial Least Square PLS-SEM Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling PW Precision Air Plc.

  • Relaxing the Rules for Airline Designation
    ATConf/6-IP/20 13/3/13 WORLDWIDE AIR TRANSPORT CONFERENCE (ATCONF) SIXTH MEETING Montréal, 18 to 22 March 2013 Agenda Item 2: Examination of key issues and related regulatory framework Agenda Item 2.2: Air carrier ownership and control RELAXING THE RULES FOR AIRLINE DESIGNATION (Presented by 54 Member States1, Members of the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC)) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper, which is presented on behalf of the 54 African States, provides Africa’s strategy for sustainability of air transport, based on the harmonization of the authorization and designation of airlines based in line with a common set of criteria and the need for flexibility in order to facilitate Airline access to international capital markets. The common set of criteria is based on the YD eligibility criteria. 1.2 This provides eligible airlines with the possibility to gain access to the international capital market, and also encourage cooperation via consolidation, mergers and acquisition as well as cross border investments. 1.3 With globalization and liberalization of the industry, in particular airline privatization, alternative ownership and control models have emerged. The ICAO proposed clause for the designation of carriers however seem to be the most favoured (CONF/5-2003). The proposed clause permits designation subject to the requirement of incorporation, principal place of business and effective regulatory control as attributed to the designating State. 1.4 In practice, States have considerable latitude and discretion in the interpretation

    The Voice of the Private Sector in East Africa EABC BRIEF IMPACT OF COVID-19 #BeyondCovid19 ON EAC TRANSPORT & #EABCCares #Covid19EA LOGISTICS SECTOR EAST AFRICAN BUSINESS COUNCIL Issued: 14.04.2020 1.0 TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS IN THE EAC Preamble ■ The Covid-19 pandemic is creating shocks to trade flows due to transport and logistics disruptions. Currently, China occupies 60% of world supply and demand, 65% of world manufacturing, and 41% of world manufacturing exports (Baldwin & di Mauro, 2020). Wuhan, the origin city of COVID-19, is ranked as 13th out of 2000 Chinese cities by Bloomberg for its role in international supply chains and the 9th best-performing city of China according to the Milken Institute ranking. ■ With 3 national development zones, 4 scientific and technological development parks accommodating over 350 research institutes, 1656 hi-tech enterprises, and numerous enterprise incubators, the city received investments from 230 Fortune Global 500 firms (Bloomberg, 2020). This clearly indicates the scale of ripple effects to be generated due to the lock-down of Wuhan, let alone the other production cities. A global supply chain shock beginning with production shocks primarily in China is spilling over to EAC economies. 2.0 EXPECTED DISRUPTIONS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Impact on Slower Clearance Restricted of cargo at Sea Movement of Breakdown of Transport & Ports; Mombasa & People as supply chains due Logistics will have Dar es Salaam and countries shut- to severe a ripple effect on OSBPs. down airports and disruption in key economic restrict the entry of inbound and sectors such as international outbound logistics manufacturing, Covid-19 related passengers.

  • Evaristus M. Irandu University of Nairobi Nairobi, Kenya Dawna L
    Journal of Air Transportation Vol. 11, No. 1 -2006 THE DEVELOPMENT OF JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AS A REGIONAL AVIATION HUB Evaristus M. Irandu University of Nairobi Nairobi, Kenya Dawna L. Rhoades Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, Florida ABSTRACT Air transportation plays an important role in the social and economic development of the global system and the countries that seek to participate in it. As Africa seeks to take its place in the global economy, it is increasingly looking to aviation as the primary means of connecting its people and goods with the world. It has been suggested that Africa as a continent needs to move toward a system of hubs to optimize its scarce resources. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the airports in the eastern region of Africa that is seeking to fill this role. This paper discusses the prospects for success and the challenges that it will need to overcome, including projections through 2020 for the growth in passenger and cargo traffic. _____________________________________________________________________________ Evaristus M. Irandu received his Ph.D. in Transport Geography from the University of Nairobi. He is a Senior Lecturer and formerly, the Chairman of the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies in the University of Nairobi. He teaches Economic and Transport Geography, International Tourism and Tourism Management, at both undergraduate and graduate level. His research interests include: aviation planning, liberalization of air transport, non-motorized transport, urban transport, international tourism and ecotourism.
