  • Investigation Into Passenger Volumes and Financial Performance of the Low-Cost Carriers in the Southern African Development Community Region
    Investigation into passenger volumes and financial performance of the low-cost carriers in the Southern African Development Community region Michael E. Mononga University of Westminster January 2020 A dissertation submitted to the University of Westminster in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Science, Air Transport Planning and Management Left blank i Abstract Since the emergence of the first low cost carrier (LCC) back in 2002 on the African continent in the South African Development Community (SADC) region, LCC activity has been moderate. Compared to LCC activity, from other parts of the world, such as Europe, North America and South East Asia, LCC activity has increased to the extent it the market has neared maturity and has made a huge impact to the passenger market. As for Africa, industry experts still consider that the air transport market is yet to experience further growth, as, as of 2017, Africa only represented 2.2% of the global market share according to a report on passenger demand and load factors by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The main objective of this research is to investigate passenger volumes and financial performance of the LCCs in the Southern African Development Community region. The existing literature for the LCC market has resulted in limited knowledge about the impact to the passenger market for this specific business model at regional economic bloc level. Analysis of secondary data; passenger traffic volumes, seat capacity and load factors and airline case studies were conducted to identify growth in passenger volumes from 2000 to 2017, and financial performance of two airlines against industry global levels.

    Business Management Review Vol. 22, No.2 Open Access article distributed in terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License [CC BY 4.0] (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0) SALIENT ATTRIBUTES ON THE CHOICE OF AN AIRLINE SERVICE PROVIDER: A Case of Domestic Airlines in Tanzania Omari K. Mbura1 ABSTRACT This paper reports the findings of a study that assessed the attributes influencing customers’ choice of airline on domestic routes. Its 4 predictor variables were service quality, price, image and airline schedules. A structured questionnaire was administered with 120 airline passengers at Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA). Quantitative data have been analysed with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 and presented as descriptive statistics. Moreover, the study carried out regression analysis to ascertain the strength of the relationship between the four constructs and the choice of an airline service provider in the domestic market. The study found that airline schedules, price and airline image significantly influenced the customers’ choice of an airline. Service quality attributes, on the other hand, did not seem to have significant bearing on airline choice. Thus, the paper recommends that airline firms should focus on providing convenient schedules in their service provision. Moreover, fares should be set at considerably fair rates as the majority of the clients are price-sensitive. Furthermore, there is a need to foster good and positive airline image. Key words: Service quality, Airline schedule, price and Airline images. INTRODUCTION Technological advancements have resulted in significant developments in the airline industry which across the world serves as not only a reliable means of transportation but also acts as an enabler in achieving economic growth and development.
