Abstract

The paper examines emerging service factor considered by domestic airline passengers in South Africa and Italy. The findings revealed the emergence of very similar factor structures between the two countries. To an extent, these factors represent the various inter-linking service spheres that passengers encounter along the service value chain offered by airlines. The findings also revealed that both samples had similar views regarding the relative importance of the factors.
