Türk Havacılık Sektöründe Bilet Fiyatlarının Belirleyicileri

Year 2017, Volume: 12 Issue: 48, 329 - 338, 31.10.2017

Abstract











Bu makalede Türkiye’nin havacılık sektöründeki bilet fiyatlarının belirleyicileri, özellikle rekabet derecesinin potansiyel rolü üzerinde durularak, hem çapraz kesit hem de panel veri yöntemleri ile incelenmektedir. Tüm örneklemle yapılan analizin sonucunda bilet fiyatlarının uçuş mesafesi ile pozitif, rekabet derecesi, uçuş sıklığı ve uçak kapasitesi ile negatif ve istatitiki olarak anlamlı ilişkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Analiz sonuçları ayrıca bilet fiyatlarının belirleyicilerinin varış yerinin konumuna bağlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Varış yerinin yurt içinde yer aldığı uçuş rotalarında bilet fiyatlarının kur seviyesi, ham petrol fiyatı ve rekabet derecesi ile negatif ve anlamlı ilişkiye sahip olmasına karşın, varış yerinin yurt dışında year aldığı uçuşların bilet fiyatlarının rekabet derecesi ile anlamlı bir ilişkiye sahip olmadığı ve bu bilet fiyatlarnın ana belirliyicelerinin uçuş sıklığı ve uçak kapasitesi olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

Determinants of Ticket Prices in Turkish Aviation Industry

Year 2017, Volume: 12 Issue: 48, 329 - 338, 31.10.2017

Abstract











In this paper, we investigate the determinants of ticket prices in the Turkish aviation sector by mainly focusing on the role of competition using both cross-sectional and panel data approaches. Our results indicate that while the main determinant  of the cross-sectional variation in average ticket prices is the distance of route; the degree of competition, flight frequency and plane capacity have statistically significant relationships with daily ticket prices alongside the distance. However, the set of determinants depend on the location of flight destination. For routes with a domestic destination, our results indicate that price levels are negatively affected from the degree of competition, exchange rate and crude oil price. On the other hand, ticket prices for routes with international destinations are negatively and significantly relate to flight frequency and plane capacity while the degree of competition does not exhibit a statistically significant relationship.
