Abstract
Brand fundamentals are explained by the premise that brands have personality traits like their people. It is known that individuals adopt the brands that their own personality traits and their peers see and shape the purchasing criteria in this direction. Although air travel is groundbreaking for global and local expansionist transportation, it carries different risks than traditional public transportation. For passengers, a sense of trust and confidence in the brand they buy services from is very important. One of the cornerstones of feeling a sense of trust is retention management, as individuals reflect their own personality traits on the brands they buy. It is aimed to analyze the brand personality traits by grouping the passenger context usage purpose, production purposes in Turkey, the companies operating in the industry as full service carrier (FSC), low cost carrier (LCC) and charter carrier (CC) business models, and the purchasing components of the content of these features. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted with 395 participants. As a result of the study, the order of importance of the main dimensions used, the largest size of the devices from the basic configuration dimensions of the brand, and the most important dimension of the economic factors from the data dimensions of the purchasing decisions were reached.
