Bu çalışma “havayolu” hizmetini satın alan kişilerin, algıladıkları riskler ile bu risklerin satın alma amacı, deneyim, kullanım miktarı ve demografik değişkenlere cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim göre değişip değişmediğini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Havayolu hizmeti satın almada örneklemdeki tüketicilerin fiziksel, finansal, zaman, sosyal ve psikolojik risk olmak üzere beş risk çeşidi algıladıkları saptanmıştır. Yaş, kullanım yılı arttıkça finansal risk, kullanım miktarı arttıkça finansal ve sosyal risk algısı; eğitim düzeyi azaldıkça psikolojik ve sosyal risk algısı azalmaktadır. Kadınlar erkeklere göre göre daha az psikolojik, sosyal ve zaman riski algılamaktadırlar. Tatil için hava yolunu kullananlar daha fazla risk algılarken, iş amacı ile uçakla seyahat edenlerin sosyal riski akraba ve arkadaş ziyareti amacı ile seyahat edenlere göre çok az algıladıkları bulunmuştur
