A.N. Hofton

The paper considers passengers views of commuter aircraft. It acknowledges that passengers seek inconsistent combinations of service features such as frequency, load factor, aircraft size and fare levels and that the task of the designer and airline manager are particularly difficult. It draws on the personal experience of the author, and on the results of surveys of passengers, to highlight the areas where passengers seek improvements. It concludes that users requiremore space per passenger, more cabin stowage space and lower cabin noise levels. Growing congestion means that all commuter aircraft should be capable of operating from secondary runways. The author suggests that more customer research is needed before new designs are frozen.
