Abstract

An airport choice model was created to understand how people decide between Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and the proposed Nijgadh International Airport. Three things were considered: how long it takes to get to the airport, how much it costs, and if there are any announced delays. Data was collected from passengers at TIA during check-in, and a method called binary logistic regression was used for analysis. The results showed that the most important factor in choosing an airport was the announced delay. While the time and cost to get to the airport also mattered, they didn’t have as much impact. This study provides insights into what matters to international travelers when choosing an airport. It suggests that reducing delays could make an airport more appealing to passengers.
