A Quantitive Case Study on the Impact of International Waiting Room Service Facilities on Passenger Satisfaction at Yogyakarta International Airport

2025-07-07T07:35:15+00:00

This research is motivated by the condition of the Yogyakarta International Airport international departure waiting room service facilities which is not fully operating, in terms of the use of the waiting room area to the unavailability of important facilities. The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of facilities service that provide comfort and added value to the level of passenger satisfaction. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach using multiple regression methods supported by qualitative secondary data in the form of observations, interviews, and document studies. The results of multiple regression analysis show that facilities that provide comfort have a coefficient value of 0.118 and value-added facilities have a coefficient value of 0.461 which indicates that there is a significant impact on passenger satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. Facilities that provide comfort have a moderate correlation value of 0.514 and facilities that provide added-value show a very strong correlation of 0.805 to passenger satisfaction. The percentage of variation in passenger satisfaction variables that can be explained by the two independent variables is 68.7%. With these results, all alternative hypotheses are accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected. In the secondary data, a more in-depth passenger perspective is generated which shows that there is still dissatisfaction characterized by a gap between user expectations in waiting room facility services and the experience felt directly by passengers. The same pattern of complaints between observations, interviews, and document studies reinforces that issues related to facilities are real problems that need to be addressed seriously by airport managers.

A Comparative Study on Commercial Aircraft Gliding Performance

2025-09-17T06:54:59+00:00

Aerodynamic principles are crucial for improving both efficiency and safety in commercial aircraft operations. This study compares three gliding strategies: (1) iterative calculation at a fixed 3° glide angle, (2) analysis of actual flight data from FlightRadar24, and (3) aerodynamic optimization using the drag polar method. The iterative approach produced relatively low descent rates 4.6–5.5 m/s and the longest glide times 1,100–1,323 s, offering safety benefits by enabling aircraft to reach more distant landing sites during emergencies. Actual flight data showed wider variations in descent rates 4.8–17.88 m/s and glide times 340–1,270 s due to operational requirements and ATC instructions. In contrast, aerodynamic optimization identified an ideal glide angle of 3.1°–4.1°, with higher descent rates 10.56–16.65 m/s but shorter glide times 366–577 s, representing the most efficient aerodynamic condition at maximum lift-to-drag ratio. Comparative analysis revealed that optimization median 512 s and actual data median 590 s yield greater aerodynamic efficiency, while the 3° fixed-angle approach median 1,186 s enhances safety margins. These results emphasize that glide strategy selection must balance efficiency and safety, integrating aerodynamic analysis with real operational data to support decision-making in commercial aviation
