The Impact of Personal Income on Airline Preferences

Abstract

Speed, safety, and comfort are key determinants of airline preferences. Individuals opt for airlines when it comes to extended-distance and international journeys. The proliferation of airports, heightened competition, and promotional airfare offerings contribute to the rising demand for air travel. In the past, airline travel was primarily favored by individuals with higher income levels, but today, it is observed that individuals with lower and middle incomes also choose air travel. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of income on airline preferences. The sample consisted of 684 participants recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a survey. Frequency, validity, reliability, correlation, and dissimilarity analyses were conducted. The results showed a positive correlation between income and travel frequency. Individuals with higher income levels travel more throughout the year. However, there was no significant correlation between income and airline preferences.
