Title: Designing the Airplane Passenger Cabin Environment with Discrete Choice Methods

Abstract:

There are many attributes of a commercial airplane's cabin interior that affect the degree of comfort experienced by the passenger. Examples include noise level, carry-on baggage space, food service, audio/video programming, flight smoothness, aisle width, seat width, legroom space, lighting, temperature, humidity, and air pressure and air quality. The aircraft manufacturer establishes the levels of some of these attributes; others are determined by the airline operating the aircraft. In this presentation we describe the use of a discrete choice experiment to evaluate the importance that passengers ascribe to several attributes of the cabin interior.
