Willingness to pay for safety improvements in passenger air travel

The risk of being involved in an airplane accident is largely ignored in air passengers’ choice models. The reason presumably is that it is hard to operationalize, because objective safety indicators often involve extremely low probabilities that are hard to grasp and interpret by passengers. In this paper, we propose an operationalization...

Risk Perception in Flight Choice Behaviour

The role of safety is often not included in flight choice behaviour. The perception of safety however does influence the choice of flight. To that end the factors that influence the safety perception are identified and this safety perception is captured as a summarising variable in the flight choice model. From these models combined the...
