Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether passengers can accurately judge whether or not items can be brought on board an aircraft. And it aims to identify differences in perceived risk depending on the type of product and confirm whether this has an effect on the judgment of possibility of import. The number of cases of prohibited items being carried on board exceeded 800,000 as of October 2023, and according to Korea Airports Corporation, the number of cases of prohibited items being carried on board increased by 19.5% from a year ago to 802,578 due to the early recovery in demand for international flights. The airport authority said that if this trend continues, the number of cases detected this year is expected to reach one million. In order to determine whether passengers' judgments about carry-on items are related to the risk level of the items, a study was conducted on approximately 179 members of the public, dividing them into awareness, experience, perception, and risk level of carry-on times. The collected data was statistically processed through data coding and cleaning processes, and then analyzed using the SPSS v. 25.0 statistical package program.
