Abstract
Studies of air travel choice behaviour increasingly make use of data collected through stated choice surveys. Here, we put forward the hypothesis that when making their choices in such surveys, respondents may complement the information presented to them by additional attributes. Specifically, we look at characteristics linked to airport size and breadth of service, as well as the proximity to a respondent's home. Our findings in a discrete choice analysis suggest that, all else being equal, respondents prefer larger to smaller airports while having a preference for the airport closest to their home. This could suggest that even though respondents associate a higher likelihood of delay and other inconveniences with larger airports, there is a perception that if things go wrong (e.g. flight cancellations), the backup options at larger airports (e.g. replacement aircraft) are superior to those at small or regional ones.
