SERVQUAL and Kano’s model integrated to develop a conceptual model of airport terminal service implementation

Abstract

This paper proposed a conceptual model to contribute the development of airport terminal service quality by conducting an empirical investigation intocustomer value co-creation behavior in Airport terminal service. The research approach to develop a scale to measure passenger expectations of airport terminal service quality, provide the airport service model to reach the passenger expectation and improved service quality. Research finding the airport service improvement with the top service quality and high rank in the business competitions. The proposed service quality framework comprised of 5 service quality dimension called RATER model which consider passenger perception in 22 criteria to measure and integrate with Kano’s Model in airport service measurement to find the Satisfaction Index (SI) and Dissatisfaction Index (DI) of passenger perception. Airport operations and management team can use the developed quality framework to improve airport service quality. The research value is to extended service quality level by provides a comprehensive service management in airport operations to meet the passenger expectation to improved image. The newly developed conceptual model with SERVQUAL and Kano’s Model integrated.
