Abstract

Havacılık sektörü dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de hızla gelişmektedir. Bu gelişmenin bir sonucu olarak gün geçtikçe sektörde yoğun bir rekabet ortamı gözlenmektedir. Sektörde oyun kurucu rolünü üstlenen havayolu firmaları çeşitli kampanyalar aracılığıyla tüketicilere hitap etmekte ve onları kendi havayollarından bilet satın almaya teşvik etmek amacıyla çalışmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, üniversite hayatına havacılık sektörünün içinde adım atmayı tercih etmiş olan, havacılık yönetimi bölümü öğrencilerinin uçak bileti satın alırken “Fiyat Adaleti”, “Müşteri Memnuniyeti”, “Müşteri Bağlılığı”, Fiyat Kabulü” gibi unsurlar arasındaki ilişkilerin oluşturulan 5 hipotez aracılığıyla açıklanması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, algılanan “Müşteri Memnuniyeti” ve algılanan “Fiyat Kabulü” arasındaki ilişkinin üzerinde çalışılan örneklem için en yüksek anlamlılık düzeyine sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bunu sırasıyla; algılanan “Fiyat Adaleti” ile algılanan “Müşteri Memnuniyeti” arasındaki ilişki, algılanan “Müşteri Bağlılığı” ile algılanan “Fiyat Adaleti” arasındaki ilişki, algılanan “Müşteri Memnuniyeti” ile algılanan “Müşteri Bağlılığı” arasındaki ilişki ve son olarak algılanan “Fiyat Adaleti” ile algılanan “Müşteri Bağlılığı” arasındaki ilişki takip etmektedir.
