Assessing Aircraft Timeliness Variations By Major Airlines: Passenger Travel Practice In Uganda
Keywords:
Airport management, departure delay, analysis of variance, month, dayAbstract
Flight delays do not only affect passenger satisfaction but also carry along costly consequences to airlines. The overall objective of the study was to assess aircraft timeliness variations by major airlines so as to determine passenger travel practice in Uganda. The study hypotheses were tested using a two-way ANOVA F-test and further measures of associations.
