The rapidly evolving aviation industry, marked by technological advancements, regulatory changes, and market dynamics, necessitates a shift from ticket-centric sales models to holistic travel experiences. Airlines must redefine their offerings to meet evolving customer expectations in this competitive and digitalized environment. Beyond facilitating travel, airlines now focus on delivering comprehensive experiences, integrating ancillary services such as lounge access, fast-track security, onboard amenities, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Furthermore, partnerships are expanding to include specialized services like pet care and door-to-door baggage handling, emphasizing the importance of practical innovation in creating customer experiential value. This study investigates the influence of innovative practices on customer experiential value within airline omnichannel environments. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data from 285 airline passengers, the findings reveal that innovative behavior significantly enhances customer experiential value, with dimensions such as convenience, entertainment, and self-esteem mediating the relationship between innovation and customer satisfaction. Conversely, dimensions like monetary savings, exploration, and status do not exhibit significant mediation effects, highlighting the nuanced interplay between innovation, experiential value, and satisfaction. The study contributes to the theoretical advancement of service innovation research by demonstrating the critical role of value co-creation in shaping customer satisfaction. It offers practical insights for airline management, emphasizing the strategic importance of innovation in designing customer-centric services that foster loyalty and competitive differentiation in the digital era.

快速发展的航空业以技术进步、监管变化和市场动态为标志，需要从以机票为中心的销售模式转向全面的旅行体验。在这个竞争激烈的数字化环境中，航空公司必须重新定义其产品，以满足客户不断变化的期望。除了便利旅行之外，航空公司现在还专注于提供全面的体验，整合休息室通道、快速安检、机上设施和Wi-Fi连接等辅助服务。此外，合作伙伴关系正在扩大到包括宠物护理和门到门行李处理等专业服务，强调实际创新在创造客户体验价值方面的重要性。本研究探讨航空公司全渠道环境下创新实践对顾客体验价值的影响。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对285名航空公司乘客的数据进行分析，结果表明创新行为显著提高了顾客体验价值，便利、娱乐和自尊等维度在创新与顾客满意度之间起中介作用。相反，像货币储蓄、探索和地位这样的维度没有表现出显著的中介效应，突出了创新、体验价值和满意度之间微妙的相互作用。本研究论证了价值共同创造在顾客满意形成中的重要作用，有助于服务创新研究的理论推进。它为航空公司管理提供了实用的见解，强调了创新在设计以客户为中心的服务方面的战略重要性，以促进数字时代的忠诚度和竞争差异化。

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of Vietnamese airports using a two-stage SBM-DEA model that captures both infrastructure and environmental performance. In the first stage, infrastructure efficiency is assessed through inputs such as terminal area, apron area, and runway area in relation to aircraft movements and fuel burned. The second stage focuses on environmental efficiency, incorporating throughputs and undesirable outputs such as emissions. The results show that only 27.3 % of airports achieve overall efficiency, a proportion significantly lower than the number of airports efficient in individual stages. To investigate potential determinants of performance, a truncated regression model is applied, examining factors such as urban location, hub status, distance to the city center, and population density. The findings reveal that urban location and distance to the city center significantly influence efficiency, while hub status and population density have negligible impacts. This study contributes to the literature by integrating undesirable outputs into a network DEA framework and refining the regression approach to account for contextual variables, offering practical insights for optimizing infrastructure planning and environmental management in Vietnam's aviation sector.

本研究旨在利用两阶段SBM-DEA模型评估越南机场的效率，该模型同时捕捉基础设施和环境绩效。在第一阶段，通过与飞机运动和燃料消耗相关的终端面积、停机坪面积和跑道面积等输入来评估基础设施效率。第二阶段侧重于环境效率，包括吞吐量和排放等不良产出。结果表明，实现整体效率的机场仅占27.3%，这一比例明显低于各个阶段高效机场的数量。为了研究绩效的潜在决定因素，我们采用了截断回归模型，考察了城市位置、枢纽地位、到市中心的距离和人口密度等因素。研究发现，城市区位和距离对效率的影响显著，而枢纽地位和人口密度对效率的影响可以忽略不计。本研究通过将不良产出整合到网络DEA框架中，并改进回归方法以考虑上下文变量，为优化越南航空部门的基础设施规划和环境管理提供实用见解，从而为文献做出贡献。

There have been many airline mergers and acquisitions (M&As) over the years to cope with the competitive air transport market. It is common for merging airlines to integrate post-M&A because it can increase efficiency and reduce costs through economies of scale and the elimination of duplicate services. However, they may also compete or cooperate as separated companies for reasons such as damaging brand value or clashing corporate cultures. Meanwhile, airline M&A requires approval from aviation authorities of several countries to prevent negative impacts on consumer welfare. This approval may be conditioned on the revoke of traffic rights or the slot reallocation. This study investigates the operation strategies of airlines -two merging airlines and rival airlines-operated at certain flight-leg based on game theory considering the approval conditions. The results show that airline M&As can lead to more profit by reducing competition. However, there is insufficient evidence that it is more profitable for two airlines to integrate than to cooperate. The key is how much the acquiring airline can absorb the passenger demand of the defunct airline through integration. After the M&A, customers would face higher airfares, but it cannot be concluded that customers are disadvantaged. This is because the increase in the number of flights may lead to a wider range of choices for customers. On the contrary, slot reallocation to prevent monopolies may harm consumer welfare. It is hoped that the managerial insights from this study will be helpful to practitioners concerned with post-M&A airline strategies.

多年来，为了应对竞争激烈的航空运输市场，航空公司进行了多次并购。合并后的航空公司在并购后进行整合是很常见的，因为它可以通过规模经济和消除重复服务来提高效率和降低成本。然而，由于品牌价值受损或企业文化冲突等原因，它们也可能作为独立的公司竞争或合作。同时，为了防止对消费者福利产生负面影响，航空公司并购需要得到多个国家航空主管部门的批准。此批准可能以撤销通行权或重新分配时隙为条件。本文基于博弈论，在考虑审批条件的情况下，对两家合并航空公司和竞争航空公司在特定航段的运营策略进行了研究。结果表明，航空公司的并购可以通过减少竞争来获得更多的利润。然而，没有足够的证据表明两家航空公司合并比合作更有利可图。关键是收购方通过整合能吸收多少倒闭航空公司的乘客需求。在M&；A之后，客户将面临更高的机票价格，但不能得出客户处于不利地位的结论。这是因为航班数量的增加可能会给顾客带来更广泛的选择。相反，为了防止垄断而重新分配时段可能会损害消费者的福利。希望本研究的管理见解能对关注并购后航空公司战略的从业者有所帮助。

The increase in flight volumes in the aviation industry has significant socioeconomic implications that affect different aspects of our communities and economies. Although it has great economic benefits, it also causes annoyance and disturbance to communities living near airports. The latter requires understanding and prediction of the varying noise levels generated by various aircraft types. Noise assessment on a fleet level is traditionally achieved by using prediction models such as the DOC29. Such models need to be validated using real measurements. For Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, the so-called NOMOS (Noise Monitoring System) with 39 measurement stations is used for this purpose. We analyze the time series of these stations, collecting annual data for the period from 2006 to 2023. The main objective is to determine how the aircraft-generated noise at these stations can be assigned to 13 different aircraft types, taking into account the different noise levels produced by each aircraft type. This is performed by time series analysis of individual stations and the averaged time series over all stations. The results from two least-squares methods, namely unconstrained least squares (LS) and a proposed bounded least squares subject to weighted constraints (BLS + WC), are compared. The constraints are based on certification data as prior information in the least squares method, which is expected to enhance the model’s performance. Based on the above two least squares methods, predictions are performed for 2022 and 2023. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the BLS + WC over the LS method. We further extend our analysis to predict noise levels for a hypothetical future year with more newer aircraft models. The results indicate a substantial reduction in the noise level compared to 2023. These findings can thus underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method in outperforming the LS and highlight the model’s capability to forecast the impact of fleet modernization on noise reduction.

航空业航班量的增加具有重大的社会经济影响，影响着我们社区和经济的各个方面。虽然它有很大的经济效益，但也给机场附近的社区带来了烦恼和干扰。后者需要了解和预测不同类型飞机产生的不同噪音水平。传统上，船队水平的噪声评估是通过使用预测模型（如DOC29）来实现的。这些模型需要用实际测量来验证。对于阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场，所谓的NOMOS（噪音监测系统）有39个测量站被用于这一目的。我们分析了这些站点的时间序列，收集了2006年至2023年的年度数据。主要目标是考虑到每种飞机产生的不同噪音水平，确定如何将这些站点的飞机产生的噪音分配给13种不同的飞机类型。这是通过对单个台站的时间序列分析和所有台站的平均时间序列来实现的。比较了两种最小二乘法的结果，即无约束最小二乘法（LS）和受加权约束的有界最小二乘法（BLS + WC）。约束是基于最小二乘法中的认证数据作为先验信息，这有望提高模型的性能。基于上述两种最小二乘法，对2022年和2023年进行了预测。结果清楚地表明BLS + WC方法优于LS方法。我们进一步扩展了我们的分析，以预测假设未来一年有更多新型飞机的噪音水平。结果表明，与2023年相比，噪音水平大幅降低。因此，这些发现可以强调所提出的方法在优于LS方面的有效性，并强调该模型预测船队现代化对降噪影响的能力。

Air route network (ARN) connectivity is critical to the market coverage of civil aviation transport networks and the development quality of the civil aviation industry. However, existing studies have predominantly focused on its spatial connectivity characteristics. Based on this, this study first identifies 41 hub airports by analyzing the complexity of China's ARN and then analyzes their flight wave systems and characteristics. Further, using the seven air traffic control regions in China as spatial units, it examines the intra-regional and extra-regional route network connectivity characteristics of hub airports. The results indicate that (1) China's complex ARN is conducive to forming a clear hierarchical connectivity of nodes. (2) The number of hub airports with sawtooth flight waves is the highest. (3) Overall, China's hub airports possess strong potential for transfer connectivity. However, ARN connectivity and feeder capacity among the seven air traffic control regions differ in, for example, the high homogeneity of route connections between hub nodes, which increases competition in regional aviation markets; the feeder capacity and coverage of feeder routes from hub nodes are insufficient; and the rationality of route structure requires further improvement. This study fully explores flight schedule resources in addressing ARN connectivity issues. It identifies structural problems in China's ARN from the perspective of flight waves and, for the first time, uses a longer time series to analyze China's hub airport ARN connectivity. The findings provide theoretical support for optimizing aviation network layout and offer guidance for further enhancing airport transfer and feeder capacities.

航线网络互联互通关系到民航运输网络的市场覆盖和民航业的发展质量。然而，现有的研究主要集中在其空间连通性特征上。在此基础上，本研究首先通过分析中国ARN的复杂性来识别41个枢纽机场，然后分析其飞行波系统及其特征。以中国7个空中交通管制区域为空间单元，研究了枢纽机场区域内和区域外航线网络连通性特征。结果表明：(1)中国复杂的ARN有利于形成清晰的节点层次连通性。(2)出现锯齿状飞行波的枢纽机场数量最多。(3)总体而言，中国枢纽机场具有强大的中转互联互通潜力。然而，七个空中交通管制区域之间的ARN连通性和支线容量存在差异，例如，枢纽节点之间的航线连接高度同质化，这增加了区域航空市场的竞争；枢纽节点的支线容量和覆盖不足；航线结构的合理性有待进一步提高。本研究充分探索了航班时刻表资源在解决ARN连接问题中的应用。从飞行波的角度确定了中国ARN的结构性问题，并首次使用更长的时间序列来分析中国枢纽机场ARN的连通性。研究结果为优化航空网络布局提供了理论支持，并为进一步提高机场中转和支线能力提供了指导。

As the aviation industry targets net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) also encourages member states to adopt initiatives to improve air quality by addressing other pollutants. Some airport operators voluntarily evaluate their impact on air quality. Limited literature is available on air quality assessment methods around airports. This paper proposes a refined ICAO air quality model focused on the taxiing phase, customised for both aircraft and airport specifics, providing more accurate emission estimates than the standard model. This enhanced model enables airport operators, airlines, and general aviation operators to create more precise air pollutant emission inventories. Additionally, the results indicate that per-passenger emissions of CO, NOx, HC, and SOx during taxiing are higher in general aviation than for commercial flights at the selected Australian airport case study, with CO emissions around 71 times higher. Consequently, general aviation flights should be included in airport emission inventories due to their significant contribution. In the Australian airport case study, the A330 commercial aircraft and the BE76 general aviation aircraft show the highest CO emissions per passenger during taxiing. Therefore, airlines and general aviation operators should increasingly consider per-passenger emissions during the taxiing phase, along with other factors, in their fleet and operational decisions.

由于航空业的目标是到2050年实现净零碳排放，国际民航组织（ICAO）也鼓励成员国采取措施，通过解决其他污染物来改善空气质量。部分机场营办商自愿评估其对空气质素的影响。关于机场周围空气质量评价方法的文献有限。本文提出了一个细化的国际民航组织空气质量模型，重点关注滑行阶段，针对飞机和机场的具体情况进行定制，提供比标准模型更准确的排放估计。这种增强的模型使机场运营商、航空公司和通用航空运营商能够创建更精确的空气污染物排放清单。此外，结果表明，在选定的澳大利亚机场案例研究中，通用航空在滑行期间的CO、NOx、HC和SOx的人均排放量高于商业航班，CO排放量约为商业航班的71倍。因此，由于通用航空航班的贡献很大，因此应将其纳入机场排放清单。在澳大利亚机场案例研究中，A330商用飞机和BE76通用航空飞机在滑行过程中显示出最高的每位乘客CO排放量。因此，在机队和运营决策中，航空公司和通用航空运营商应越来越多地考虑每位乘客在滑行阶段的排放量，以及其他因素。

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the aviation industry. In the early days of the pandemic, airlines faced unprecedented challenges due to immigration controls and health risks in various countries, and passengers' in-flight service patterns and flight needs have changed. To meet the needs of passengers, airlines need to be more agile in their responses, strengthening health and safety measures, providing flexible policies, driving digital transformation, improving cabin cleanliness, and improving the quality of food and beverage services to earn passengers' trust and satisfaction. On this basis, it is important to continue to pay attention to the changes in passenger demand and adjust service strategies promptly. This study aims to apply Kano model based on AIRQUAL to investigate passengers' satisfaction with in-flight service items by classifying service elements such as attractive quality, one-way quality, must-be quality, indifference quality, and reverse quality. In addition, the respondents were also classified into passenger groups (long-haul routes, long-haul economy class, and short-haul economy class) to find out the service priorities that different customer groups attach importance to, and gave improvement rankings for service items, and put forward effective improvement suggestions to improve the service quality of airlines and increase industrial competitiveness. The findings show that the good service attitude of flight attendants is the first improvement project of the airline. For passengers on long-haul routes, clearly communicating the loss and hazard compensation plan is an essential service for airlines. Use a HEPA system in air-conditioning, the provision of nursing kits for passengers, the change of in-flight to e-books to reduce paper contact, and the provision of masks and gloves for flight attendants are all attractive qualities, which can be inferred that passengers have paid more attention to health after the outbreak of the epidemic.

新冠肺炎疫情对航空业产生了巨大影响。疫情发生初期，各国出入境管制、健康风险等因素给航空公司带来前所未有的挑战，乘客的机上服务模式和飞行需求也发生了变化。为了满足乘客的需求，航空公司需要更加灵活地应对，加强健康和安全措施，提供灵活的政策，推动数字化转型，改善客舱清洁度，提高餐饮服务质量，以赢得乘客的信任和满意度。在此基础上，继续关注旅客需求的变化，及时调整服务策略是十分重要的。本研究旨在运用基于AIRQUAL的Kano模型，通过对吸引品质、单向品质、必须品质、冷漠品质、反向品质等服务要素进行分类，调查旅客对机上服务项目的满意度。此外，还将受访者按客群（长途航线、长途经济舱、短途经济舱）进行分类，找出不同客群对服务重点的重视程度，并对服务项目进行改进排名，提出有效的改进建议，以提高航空公司的服务质量，增强行业竞争力。研究结果表明，空姐良好的服务态度是航空公司的首要改进项目。对于长途航线的乘客来说，清楚地传达损失和危险赔偿计划是航空公司的一项基本服务。在空调中使用HEPA系统，为乘客提供护理包，在飞机上使用电子书以减少纸张接触，为空乘人员提供口罩和手套，这些都是吸引人的品质，可以推断出疫情爆发后乘客更加注重健康。

Air-rail transport for passenger travel is gaining attention as a sustainable solution to urbanization, climate change, and the growing demand for seamless travel. Despite its potential, air-rail cooperation in China remains underdeveloped, primarily due to asymmetric dependency between airlines and China Railway Group (CR). This study aims to investigate the dynamics of this cooperation, focusing on resource sharing, revenue distribution, and collaborative service models. By applying the theory of asymmetric dependency and constructing an evolutionary game model, this research analyzes the strategic interactions between CR and airlines. Additionally, it explores the role of policy tools, including subsidies, tax incentives, and penalties, in fostering sustainable cooperation. To enhance empirical relevance, the study incorporates a case study of the Shanghai Hongqiao hub to calibrate model parameters and bridge theoretical assumptions with real-world operational data. It is found that (1) Asymmetric dependency significantly influences air-rail cooperation, with CR's dominant position in railway resources restricting deeper collaboration and fairer revenue distribution; (2) Resource sharing and fair revenue distribution are crucial for the success of new air-rail cooperation, while collaborative service, though equally important, depends on the successful implementation of these two factors; (3) Economic incentives, such as additional airline revenue from increased occupancy, play a critical role in motivating participation in air-rail cooperation; (4) Punitive measures and subsidy policies reduce cooperation costs, fostering early-stage cooperation, while tax incentives are crucial for optimizing long-term benefit distribution. This research contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying air-rail cooperation and provides practical policy recommendations for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of air-rail transport systems.

航空铁路客运作为城市化、气候变化和不断增长的无缝旅行需求的可持续解决方案，正受到人们的关注。尽管有潜力，但中国的空铁合作仍然不发达，主要是由于航空公司与中国中铁集团（CR）之间的不对称依赖。本研究旨在探讨这种合作的动态，重点关注资源共享、收益分配和协同服务模式。运用非对称依赖理论，构建演化博弈模型，分析了航空公司与航空公司之间的战略互动关系。此外，它还探讨了政策工具在促进可持续合作方面的作用，包括补贴、税收激励和处罚。为了增强实证相关性，本研究纳入了上海虹桥枢纽的案例研究，以校准模型参数，并将理论假设与实际运营数据联系起来。研究发现：(1)非对称依赖显著影响空铁合作，中铁在铁路资源中的主导地位制约了合作的深入和收益分配的公平；(2)资源共享和公平收入分配是新型空铁合作成功的关键，而协同服务虽然同样重要，但也取决于这两个因素的成功实施；(3)经济激励，如入住率增加带来的航空公司额外收入，在激励参与空铁合作方面发挥了关键作用；(4)惩罚性措施和补贴政策降低了合作成本，有利于早期合作，而税收优惠对于优化长期利益分配至关重要。本研究有助于理解空铁合作的机制，并为提高空铁运输系统的效率和可持续性提供切实可行的政策建议。

With the increasing air traffic flow and more complicate configuration of air routes in the airport terminal area, studies on the traditional aircraft landing problem (ALP) that only considers runway or landing scheduling are no longer sufficient to meet practical needs. Further consideration such as route selection, en-route separation, conflict avoidance in merging waypoints is needed in consistent to the real air traffic management. Hence, this paper extends the study from the landing scheduling to the whole approaching and landing scheduling within the terminal area. More realistic constraints including route selection from all paths, attitude relevance speed range, en-route and wake separation, maximum position shift, arrival time windows, conflict avoidance in merging waypoints are considered in the optimization model. Then, the solving method is studied. After a comparative study of mainstream algorithms, the improved discrete Harris Hawks optimization (IDHHO) is presented. Many strategies for HHO such as new individual generation, preferred exchange, preferred insertion, random perturbation are added. The prey escape energy update equation is improved. To cope with large-scale situation, heuristic approximation (HA) and the multiple waypoint rolling horizon control strategy (MWRHC) are proposed to accelerate the solving speed of IDHHO. Based on the data of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, computations under low, medium and high traffic density are conducted. The experimental tests verify the validity of the model and algorithm. The computational results show MWRHC-IDHHO-HA can greatly reduce the solving time on the expense of small optimality loss. The presented model and algorithm have been used in the practical ALP management system called Arrival Management (AMAN).

随着机场终端区空中交通流量的增加和航线配置的复杂化，传统的仅考虑跑道或降落调度的飞机降落问题（ALP）的研究已经不能满足实际需要。需要进一步考虑航路选择、航路分离、合并航路点避免冲突等问题，以符合实际的空中交通管理。因此，本文将研究范围从着陆调度扩展到终端区内的整体进近和着陆调度。优化模型考虑了更现实的约束条件，包括所有路径的路线选择、姿态相关速度范围、航路和尾流分离、最大位置偏移、到达时间窗口、合并航路点时避免冲突等。然后，研究了求解方法。在比较研究主流算法的基础上，提出了改进的离散哈里斯鹰优化算法（IDHHO）。加入了新个体生成、优先交换、优先插入、随机扰动等策略。改进了猎物逃逸能量更新方程。为了应对大规模情况，提出了启发式近似法（HA）和多航路点滚动地平线控制策略（MWRHC）来加快IDHHO的求解速度。以广州白云国际机场数据为基础，进行了低、中、高交通密度下的交通流量计算。实验验证了模型和算法的有效性。计算结果表明，MWRHC-IDHHO-HA算法以较小的最优损失为代价，大大缩短了求解时间。该模型和算法已在实际的ALP管理系统——到达管理（AMAN）中得到了应用。

Airports are complex systems exposed to various operational risks that can disrupt services and compromise safety. Despite extensive research on risk management across industries, there is a lack of comprehensive methodologies tailored to airport operations. We present a comprehensive risk assessment framework that integrates human factor analysis with quantitative evaluation to predict and mitigate failures in critical airport systems. The model integrates the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) with Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify risk modes. To address uncertainty in expert assessments, Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (IVIFN) and Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Weighted Averaging (IIFWA) are employed. The Best-Worst Method (BWM) determines the weights of the risk factors, while the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) facilitates the comparative evaluation of risk scenarios. A case study on airport power system failures serves to validate the model, effectively identifying and prioritizing critical risks. This integrated model delivers a more accurate and reliable foundation for airport risk assessment, supporting informed decision-making and improved operational safety and efficiency.

机场是一个复杂的系统，面临着各种运营风险，可能会中断服务并危及安全。尽管对各行业的风险管理进行了广泛的研究，但缺乏针对机场运营的综合方法。我们提出了一个综合风险评估框架，将人为因素分析与定量评估相结合，以预测和减轻关键机场系统的故障。该模型将人因分析与分类系统（HFACS）与失效模式与影响分析（FMEA）相结合，识别风险模式。为了解决专家评估中的不确定性，采用区间直觉模糊数（IVIFN）和区间直觉模糊加权平均（IIFWA）。最佳最坏法（BWM）确定了风险因素的权重，而组合折衷方案（CoCoSo）便于对风险情景进行比较评估。机场电力系统故障的案例研究有助于验证该模型，有效地识别和优先考虑关键风险。这一综合模型为机场风险评估提供了更准确和可靠的基础，支持明智的决策，提高运营安全和效率。
