Resumo: | Ancillary services are becoming a growing and relevant trend in the air travel industry. Airlines have been realizing the benefits and potential these unbundled services provide to the overall results of the firm, a tendency that is mainly obtainable through the use of digital technologies and platforms. The current outdated operations and inefficient processes are not equipped to meet the rising year-on-year passenger traffic, and the recent tech-savvy traveler is increasingly demanding for low fares and pleasant experiences, so it is essential for the industry to adopt new solutions that reduce travel time and improve the overall traveling journey. The present study aims to understand the drivers and barriers that motivate or prevent travelers from using a conceptual door-to-door luggage delivery service and obtain an innermost knowledge about the preferences of the Portuguese consumers. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research data was conducted to evaluate the perceptions of the Portuguese market, and results suggest that consumers believe there is a need for innovation in the air travel industry, and the service achieved a rather favorable feedback from the consumers, despite the low familiarity with the concept of luggage delivery services. Additionally, the Portuguese consumers particularly value the Safety and Trust attributes when it comes to traveling, trademarks that need to be assured when implementing the concept. |

As companhias aéreas têm vindo a aperceber-se do potencial que estes serviços desagregados proporcionam aos resultados globais da empresa, um movimento que pode ser principalmente obtido através da utilização de plataformas digitais. As atuais operações desatualizadas e processos ineficientes não estão equipados para enfrentar o crescimento de tráfego anual, e o recente passageiro tecnológico é cada vez mais exigente no que toca a tarifas baixas e experiências agradáveis, por isso é essencial para a indústria adotar novas soluções que reduzam o tempo e melhorem a viagem. O presente estudo visa compreender os determinantes e as barreiras que motivam ou impedem os viajantes de utilizar um serviço conceptual de entrega de bagagem porta-a-porta e obter um profundo conhecimento sobre as preferências dos consumidores portugueses. Foi realizada uma combinação de dados qualitativos e quantitativos para avaliar as perceções do mercado, e os resultados sugerem que os portugueses acreditam que existe necessidade de inovação na indústria de viagens, e o serviço obteve um feedback bastante favorável, apesar da baixa familiaridade com o conceito de serviços de entrega de bagagem. Adicionalmente, os consumidores portugueses valorizam particularmente a Segurança e Confiança durante a viagem, qualidades que precisam de ser asseguradas na implementação do conceito.Fernandes, Daniel Von Der HeydeVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCeregeiro, Manuel Maria Simões de Almeida de Sousa2021-10-13T14:30:49Z2021-04-282021-042021-04-28T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/35534TID:202728943enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:41:03Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/35534Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:51.386143Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
