dc.description.abstractIn this paper, a passenger demand model for domestic was built. This model considers roles of airline service variables such as; service frequency, aircraft size, ticket price, flight distance, and number of airports in the route. It takes into account the influence of originating passengers in the metropolitan areas. The airport capacity, which has significant impact on service quality in airport and in the airline network, is considered. Researchers confirm importance of originating passengers, finds that, interestingly, airlines’ services in first flight leg are more important, and attracting passengers than those in the second flight leg. Based on study data, it was discovered that DIST, ORIG, DOMI and CAPA has positive individual elasticities of 0.027, 0.654, 0.558 and 1.137 with respect to passenger demand in airline route. This implies that 1% increase in each variable will increase passenger flow by 0.2%, 6.5%, 5.6% and 11.4% respectively in airline routes under study. These findings are helpful for airlines to understand effects of changing services, and also useful for us to quantify benefits of airport expansion projects.
