Countries covered: United States, Europe
This multifaceted study will determine the shifts in the US and global airline market share, analyze passenger preferences and satisfaction, and map the current destinations and transit points. The project is commenced with a survey ""Passengers Preferences in Choosing a Carrier for Flights to Eastern and Central Europe"". This survey covers three groups of US passengers: Mainstream Americans, Hungarian-Americans and emigrants from the former USSR. The results will reveal answers to the following questions: During what season do different consumer groups fly to Eastern/Central Europe and to which destinations
Which group flies most often
What is the purpose for the flights
What airline would each group be most likely/less likely to choose for flights to Eastern/Central Europe and why
What features play the most important role in choosing the airline for European destinations
How passengers rate different airlines based on such features as Price, In-Flight Service, Connectivity, etc.
What are the sources of information that influence customer decision in choosing the airline for Eastern and Central European destinations
Will passengers plan to fly more or less in 2004 compared to 2003 And many more
Despite the increased interest of US-based and major European carriers in Eastern and Central Europe (ECE), their slow-to-respond behavior allows smaller Eastern and Central European airlines to gain a leading position in transatlantic routes to Eastern Europe. Our research showed that American consumers of Eastern and Central European origin most often use their native airlines to fly to ECE destinations. Moreover, US mainstream market consumers also turn to Aeroflot, Malev and LOT for flights to ECE, often disregarding Delta, American Airlines and other domestic brands. The results show that even though Delta is the most often used airline for flights to ECE (34%), Aeroflot is not far behind (26%), followed by other foreign carriers, such as El Al, British Airways, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Finnair. When asked what carrier they would most likely choose if all airlines offered convenient flights to ECE at the same price, 25% named Delta, 22 % British Airways, 20% American Airlines, and only 18% Aeroflot. These data clearly show that those who fly with Aeroflot do so because of the lack of choice, and not because they are satisfied with Aeroflot. In fact, as many as 22% stated that they would never choose Aeroflot, if all carriers offered the same service to ECE.
