Abstract: |
Since the application of the Open Sky Policy in 2002, Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) have been
gaining a progressive market share in Thailand. However the numbers of academic researchers in this
field are limited, the researcher hence focused on Thai passengers traveling on LCCs to explore new
knowledge. Based on a comprehensive literature review, the conceptual model investigated whether the
perceived service quality affects airline brand image and repurchase intention of Thai passengers was
developed and tested in LCCs sector. Data from four hundred travelers was obtained and statistically
analyzed; a regression analysis aided in examining the impacts of tested variables. The results revealed
that the perceived service quality of Thai passengers had a significant impact on the LCCs' brand image,
with the empathy aspect being the most critical factor. Besides, the carriers' brand image proved to have
an influence on passengers' repurchase intention. The brand evaluation dimension provided the stron-
gest support, whereas brand experience, brand expectation and brand strength were also statistically
significant in explaining Thai passengers' repeat patronage. |
