“…Influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the strategies for ancillary services by airlines have greatly changed. Various dynamic pricing strategies on airline ancillary services have been proposed to further increase the amount of extra revenue, mitigating the shortage of funds [15]. Vinod et al [12] proposed an airline revenue planning method, including scheduling, airline pricing, and revenue management, to mitigate the volatility of airline revenue due to COVID-19.…”

“…By improving the quality of ancillary services, airlines increase their user satisfaction [8,9] and the adhesiveness of customers [2,7], which enhances their competitiveness and prevents homogeneity. Due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19, the global market for airlines has reduced dramatically [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Airline companies are, thus, urgently seeking extra profit to reduce fiscal pressure, leading to more serious competition based on ancillary services.…”

Airlines have launched various ancillary services to meet their passengers’ requirements and to increase their revenue. Ancillary revenue from seat selection is an important source of revenue for airlines and is a common type of advertisement. However, advertisements are generally delivered to all customers, including a significant proportion of people who do not wish to pay for seat selection. Random advertisements may thus decrease the amount of profit generated since users will tire of useless advertising, leading to a decrease in user stickiness. To solve this problem, we propose a Bagging in Certain Ratio Light Gradient Boosting Machine (BCR-LightGBM) to predict the willingness of passengers to pay to choose their seats. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms all 12 comparison models in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) and F1-score. Furthermore, we studied two typical samples to demonstrate the decision-making phase of a decision tree in BCR-LightGBM and applied the Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) model to analyse the important influencing factors to further enhance the interpretability. We conclude that the customer’s values, the ticket fare, and the length of the trip are three factors that airlines should consider in their seat selection service.

“…When redesigning the underlying networks for sustainable aviation, one should not neglect the inherent challenges due to the network robustness. This pandemic can be considered a critical phase yielding the chance to increase the investment into research and engineering, identifying and implementing new forms of sustainable aviation [85,86]. A development into a direction that is beneficial for society should be geared and supported by governments, for instance by providing state incentives and goal-oriented funding and making collaborative recommendations and decisions at larger scales.…”

Air transportation systems are an important part of the critical infrastructure in our connected world. Accordingly, a better understanding and improvements in the resilience of the overall air transportation system are essential to the well-functioning of our society and overall sustainability of human beings. In the literature, network science is increasingly used to better understand the resilience dynamics of air transportation. Given the wide application of tools for network science and the importance of designing resilient air transportation systems, a rich body of studies has emerged in recent years. This review paper synthesizes the related literature that has been published throughout the last 15 years regarding the robustness of air transportation systems. The contributions of this work consist of two major elements. The first part provides a comprehensive discussion and cross-comparison of the reported results. We cover several major topics, including node importance identification, failure versus attack profiles, recovery and improvement techniques, and networks of networks approaches. The second part of this paper complements the review of aggregated findings by elaborating on a future agenda for robust air transportation research. Our survey-style overview hopefully contributes toward a better understanding of the state of the art in this research area, and, in turn, to the improvement of future air transportation resilience and sustainability.

“…Namun, masyarakat bisa jadi masih merasa khawatir untuk menggunakan transportasi udara mengingat penyebaran wabah dan virus lebih tinggi pada lingkungan yang tertutup seperti berdiam beberapa jam di dalam pesawat udara [10]. Selain itu, fenomena global pandemi COVID-19 telah menyebabkan perubahan dalam pengaturan kegiatan sehari-hari dan kebiasaan masyarakat di seluruh dunia, sehingga kebiasaan baru (new normal) dalam pengendalian pekerjaan jarak jauh telah mendorong pengurangan perjalanan untuk bekerja [11].…”

AbstrakPemantauan dan evaluasi kegiatan libur Nataru tahun 2020 telah dilaksanakan di Bandara Soekarno-Hatta. Kajian ini dilaksanakan melalui observasi secara langsung terhadap penumpang yang berada di bandara. Berdasarkan hasil kajian diketahui bahwa penumpang masih banyak yang melakukan perjalanan dengan alasan mudik/keperluan keluarga, tingkat kepatuhan penumpang terhadap protokol kesehatan sebesar 66% penumpang dan 60% percaya bahwa melakukan perjalanan dengan pesawat udara aman dari terpapar virus Covid-19. Kebijakan pemerintah terhadap pembatasan perjalanan dengan moda angkutan udara pada masa Natal 2020 dan Tahun Baru 2021 berhasil dilaksanakan.AbstractMonitoring and Evaluation of Christmas 2020 and New year 2021 holidays have been conducted in Soekarno-Hatta Airport. This study is conducted by direct observation to the passengers in the Airport. According to the result obtained, many passengers are still conducting a trip due to “mudik” or family business, the conformity of the passenger to the Covid-19 Protocol is around 66% of the total passenger, and 60% of passenger confident with the safety to travel with aeroplane from the risk of infected by Covid-19 virus. The government‘s policy regarding the limitation of travel by air transport in the Christmas 2020 and New Year 2021 Holidays has been successfully implemented.
