“…These reports have increased people's awareness of the risk terrorism poses to flying and the need for airline security measures. Indeed, the September 11, 2001 terror attacks and the accompanying hijackings of the US airplanes decreased consumer trust in the safety and security of air travel (Brauer and Dunne, 2012;Wang et al, 2014). Therefore, as the events of September 11, safety and security have become a major concern faced by airlines.…”

Purpose Due to recent international media reports of terrorist attacks in airports, people are more aware of the risk terrorism poses to flying and the need for security measures in the airline industry. This study aims to examine factors affecting willingness to pay (WTP) for airline security and safety flights after terror attacks incident. Design/methodology/approach A polling company distributed an internet survey among 415 Israelis in July 2014, after thousands of missiles had been fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip, threatening the population and disrupting aviation traffic to and from Israel. The results show that individuals who attributed higher importance to airline security and exhibited more fear and less optimism were willing to pay more for airline security and safety. Findings The results show that individuals who attributed higher perceived importance to airline security and exhibited more fear and less optimism were willing to pay more for the security and safety of flying. Research limitations/implications The implications of the study are important for understanding how terrorist attacks and negative aviation events affect people’s feelings, pessimism/optimism and general attitudes toward airline security. Originality/value Due to the increase in the number of terror attack involving airlines, it is important for understanding the demand for tickets on secure airlines. Such an understanding is essential for evaluating the perceived benefit of safety and security improvements in the aviation industry and for developing marketing strategies for different tickets.

“…The criticality of the air cargo business to the airline industry cannot be over‐emphasised, particularly in the light of dwindling air passenger numbers (Brauer and Dunne, 2012). Although there is no doubt that air cargo is a critical element of the air transport industry, it is susceptible to a high rate of bookings cancellations, estimated by some scholars such as Smith et al (1992), to be as high as 50 per cent.…”

PurposeIn order to hedge against fluctuation in actual “show” for air freight services, cargo airlines engage in the allocation of more space capacity than they actually have. This practice can lead to overbooking of capacity which can incur costs to the airline when a cargo does show that is larger than predicted. In this study, the authors set out to model an optimised value for air cargo booking which is tested against five different cargo case‐representative scenarios. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology which is primarily discursive utilises a synthesis of existing literature to develop a model to replicate the overbooking problem.FindingsThis paper finds that the optimised value of cargo size may not necessarily depend on the probability of actual “show”. Instead, this variation appears dependent on a random demand for larger sized cargo, and thus, price.Practical implicationsThe model which is developed serves as a potential framework for airlines to avoid uncertainty associated with cargo capacity spoilage and overbooking.Originality/valueIn this study, the passenger overbooking model under the cancellation and no‐show problems in the static single leg case was adapted for use during the modelling of air cargo overbooking.

“…They show that the pandemic has far-reaching effects on the economy, interrupts production, and limited transport has further slowed down economic activities. Brauer and Dunne [23] show a decline in the international passengers' traffic and ALR during 2002-2003, and the most palpable reasons are terrorist attacks, the Iraq war in 2003, and the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Suau-Sanchez et al [24] find that the airline industry is one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, which will change the aviation industry.…”

The pandemic causes social distancing and lockdown, which impedes consumer confidence and contracts the economy. Hence, this study analyzes the corona (COVID-19) impact on the airline industry revenues (ALR) and forecast by the vector autoregression (VAR) method. The results indicate that gross domestic product (GDP) and air cargo are the best predictors of ALR. The forecasting outcomes explore if ALR will decline and expect to back to pre-COVID-19 in 2023. Our results resemble both the V-shaped and U-shaped, which suggests slow gradual recovery with longer lockdown and border disclosure. The government can restore confidence building by providing economic stimulus packages and can encourage the airline to return to travel. Furthermore, softening the passenger rules concerning the refund of unflown ticket, reducing taxes, and reducing overflight taxes, all reduce the costs. Similarly, the mutually recognized global standards are crucial for effective execution, and any temporary measures taken by the government should have a clear exit strategy. The study major limitation includes the lack of relevant research and data availability.
