Abstract :
Based on data from the Yogyakarta Adisutjipto International Airport, the
number of passenger movements is no longer proportional to the current airport
capacity. In addition to that, the apron capacity is no longer sufficient, the runway
is fairly short, and the difficulty of developing the airport due to environmental
factors that are not supportive. This has led to the development of other airports as
a replacement, named Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA). Passenger
perceptions in choosing an airport are certainly differ, this study aims to analyze
passenger perceptions on the Airport operation at Yogyakarta Adisutjtipto
International Airport and Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) in commercial
flights within one region (multi-airport region).
This research uses qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, by using the
airport selection attributes (accessibility, operation, economy and facilities).
Passenger response will be measured, the most dominant factor in airport selection
will be measured and the correlation of the relationship-direction-significance
between these variables will be measured by using Spearman correlation analysis.
The instrument used in this study was a closed questionnaire with 230 sample size.
Airport selection factors that are considered the most influential in
determining the decision to choose an airport are the " accessibility" factor with an
average value of 51,30%. The correlation of the relationship between the
accessibility, operational, economic and facility variables is in the position of "very
low", "low" to "sufficient". The direction of the relationship between variables is
positive, meaning that as the first variable is increasing, and the second variable is
also increase. There are significant between variables have sig. <0.05 (significant
relationship)
