cost carrier II TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com ABSTRACT In 2015, Vietnam witnessed the booming of airline industry The participation of low cost carriers makes the airline market more and more competitive Understanding the behavior of passengers is essential for any carriers to make their strategic policies This study employs the multinomial logit model with the data of 122 respondents to investigate the impacts of characteristics of passengers as well as attributes of airlines on the airline choice The characteristics of passengers include age, gender, marital status, education, and income whereas the attributes of airlines consist of price, number of flights of airlines, punctuality, comfort of seat space, and quality of check in service A stated preference survey is conducted online from 16th to 23rd of October 2016 to collect the data of 122 respondents, who used to travel by air at least one time before They are required to finish three tasks The first task is providing their information, such as age, gender, marital status, education, and income The second one is evaluating about the quality of services of the three airlines, including Vietnam Airline, Vietjet, and Jetstar The final part is hypothetical scenarios of fifteen domestic routes given along with the prices of airlines for the respondents to choose one of the three airlines Jetstar is chosen as the base outcome, the results of multinomial logit model suggest that characteristics of airlines have relationships with the ratios of probability of chosing Vietnam Airline or Vietjet over probability of chosing Jetstar, except for the satisfaction of customers about staff at the check in counter When comparing one airline and the based airline (Jetstar), the attributes of the third airline is also necessary to be taken into consideration In general, a good judgment of service of an airline makes the odds ratios of that airline and the base increased In contrast, a good evaluation of the based carrier or of the other airline makes the odds ratios declined Besides that, income has positive association with probability of choice Vietnam Airline and Vietjet but negative relation with Jetstar, holding other variables constantly III TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I ABSTRACT B TABLE OF CONTENTS: IV LIST OF TABLES

is nearly double when compared to a net profit of 17.4 billion dollars in 2014 Particularly, the aviation industry in Asia Pacific obtained net profit of more than 5.8 billion dollars In addition, region of Asia Pacific accounted for 31% of global passengers, while Europe and North America is 30% and 26%, respectively It is noted that low cost carrier has transported over 950 million passengers, approximately 28% of those who are scheduled passengers (IATA report, 2016) According to The International Air Transport Association (IATA), number of air travelers is forecasted to increase nearly double, from 3.8 billion in 2016 to 7.2 billion in 2035 IATA also announces the five fastest growing markets that have the most additional passengers per year for over the next 20 years, including China, US, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam In detail, Vietnam may have 112 million new passengers for a total of 150 million Moreover, IATA also stated that Vietnam is one of the seven countries which have fastest growth in aviation industry Besides that, Vietnam Government pays much attention to infrastructure which is one of the most critical components of air transport sector Vietnam’s planning is to have 26 airports by 2020; particularly Long Thanh International Airport will be ready by 2020 b Airline industry in Vietnam The Vietnam airline industry, which was administered by Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, has witnessed rapid growth in 2015 compared to the figures in 2014 The whole market served 40.1 million of passengers and transported 771 thousand tons of cargo In particular, transportation of domestic carriers is 31.1 million passengers, increased by 21% This positive sign with the falling of crude oil price of 30% in 2015 are stimulus for airline carriers to continue reducing fares in order to meet the demand of transportation of passengers TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com + | 1.87 1.87 | 64 59.81 61.68
