چکیده

این پژوهش به منظور ارائه مدل بازاریابی بومی کم هزینه در صنعت هواپیمایی ایران انجام شده است. بر این اساس پژوهش حاضر از نظر هدف کاربردی و بر اساس روش مقطعی می­باشد؛ و به لحاظ اطلاعات، جز مطالعات آمیخته محسوب می­شود. همچنین از نظر فلسفه پژوهشی از نوع تحقیقات استقرایی است. در بخش نخست پژوهش که از نوع اکتشافی می‌باشد جامعه آماری شامل 11 نفر از خبرگان و صاحب نظران در صنعت هواپیمایی کشور هستند که به روش گلوله برفی انتخاب شدند. پس از تجزیه و تحلیل داده های حاصل از مصاحبه به روش تحلیل محتوی، نه مولفه اصلی قیمت، کیفیت خدمات، شهرت هواپیمایی، ایمنی هواپیمایی، در دسترس بودن مسیر و راحتی، برنامه‌های مکرر تشویقی، پرسنل پرواز، تصویر برند و ویژگی های مربوط به سفر شناسایی شدند. سپس جهت الویت بندی و سنجش اعتبار الگو، در بخش دوم، پرسشنامه ای طراحی و در بین 384 نفر از تمامی مسافران و گردشگران در فرودگاه تهران بصورت تصادفی توزیع و سپس جمع آوری شد. تجزیه و تحلیل داده­ها جهت رتبه بندی عوامل نشان داد که شهرت شرکت هواپیمایی، کیفیت خدمات،  قیمت به همراه تصویر برند در رتبه های اول تا سوم قرار دارند و علاوه بر این، ایمنی خطوط هوایی، پرسنل پرواز، در دسترس بودن مسیر و آسایش و راحتی، برنامه‌های مکرر تشویقی و ویژگی مربوطه به سفر به ترتیب در رتبه های پایین تری قرار گرفتند. نتایج این تحقیق راهنمایی‌های مفیدی را برای توسعه شرکت‌های هواپیمایی کم هزینه ارائه می‌دهد.
