초록

본 연구의 목적은 소셜 미디어 데이터에 대한 감성평가를 활용하여 대형항공사와 저비용항공사 이용 고객의 만족도를 정량적으로 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 2008년에서 2016년까지 대형항공사와 저비용항공사가 언급된 총 77,591개의 트윗을 취합하고 항공사 선택 속성별로 분류하였으며, 고객만족도 분석을 위해 3명의 평가자가 감성 평가를 시행하도록 하였다. 분석결과, 최근 7년 간 고객 만족도는 저비용항공사가 대형항공사보다 통계적으로 유의하게(p<0.001) 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 대형, 저비용항공사 모두 고객만족도가 지속적으로 하락하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 항공사 선택 속성 중 예약과 항공기 운항과 관련된 고객만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 대형항공사의 경우, 예약과 기내서비스, 마케팅 측면에서 만족도 저하가 최근 심화되고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 대형항공사와 저비용항공사의 전반적인 고객만족도 향상을 위한 정량적 데이터로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This study investigates customer satisfaction with full service carriers (FSC) and low cost carriers (LCC) using social media sentiment evaluation. From 2008 to 2016, a total of 77,591 tweets about two FSC and six LCC were aggregated and classified as per airline choice factors. Sentiment evaluation was employed to assess customer satisfaction by three appraisers. The results showed that customer satisfaction with LCC was significantly higher (p<0.001) compared to FSC. Furthermore, overall customer satisfaction with both FSC and LCC has been facing a consistent downward trend since the last seven years. The results also highlighted low customer satisfaction with respect to booking and flight operation factors, and a steep decline in customer satisfaction across booking, onboard services, and marketing factors for FSC. The results of this study have practical implications for the airline industry, which can use this quantitative data to improve customer satisfaction with FSC and LCC.
