Customers behavior INAIR 2017 Prague 22
Customers what they want and how to keep them loyal Ticket price 45% weight in Africa, 30% in Asia, where schedule seems to be more important No surprise that for 46% leisure pax the price is critical compared to 28% for C-class pax, who, naturally, prefer the schedule and punctuality. Gender split: price - ( 43% women vs 34% men), schedule ( women 13% vs 17% men) Airs@t respondents age: the older pax are the less price sensitive ( 47% for 18-24 years old vs 30% 55-64 category) and more comfort demanding they appear to be ( 13% vs 24% ). And what is the least important?. INAIR 2017 Prague 23
