Abstract

The purpose of this research is to assess the efficiency of the airline's route. The revenue source of low cost airline carriers is not various unlike regular airline carriers, because they are operating only domestic and international flights for a country of close proximity. In particular, domestic low-cost airlines in Korea can't provide cargo transport services but rely on passengers and additional services to generate profits. Therefore, it is absolutely important to maintain a low cost and effective passenger transport line. This study will suggest the way to improve efficiency of route operated by low-cost airlines. Analysis method is DEA. The input parameters and output results were selected by existing research. Based on the results of this study, it will be able to assist establishing routes and selling strategies of the low-cost airlines.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 저가항공사의 노선 효율성을 평가하는 데 있다. 저가 항공사의 경우 정규 항공사와 달리 국내선과 근거리 국제선만을 운영하고 있어서 매출수익의 원천이 정규항공사에 비해서 다양하지 않다. 특히, 국내 저가 항공사의 경우 화물운송 없이 여객운송과 부가서비스를 통하여 매출수익을 올리고 있다. 때문에 저비용 고효율의 여객운송 노선을 유지하는 것이 절대적으로 중요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 국내 저비용 항공사가 운영하는 노선과 정규 항공사의 노선들의 상대적 효율성을 평가하고, 평가한 효율성을 바탕으로 노선 효율성을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 분석 방법은 자료포락법(DEA)을 사용하였고, 기존 문헌연구를 통하여 투입과 산출 요소를 선정하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 기반으로 항공사의 노선 및 판매 전략 수립에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
