Air cargo terminal is an aviation service chartered by Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration. This previously state-owned and monopolized service was opened to competition by introducing private storage operators into the market which has been fiercely competitive since the demand significantly dropped due to offshore migration of Taiwan's industries. The past studies on air cargo terminals primarily focused on service quality and business performance. Instead, this study, based on market segmentation theory, investigates the importance contexts of service items for air cargo terminal users by using questionnaire collections. Factor analysis is used to extract the five dimensions: professional image, information management, operational efficiency, cargo safety, and price flexibility. In addition, the four customer groups: electronic service oriented, price service oriented, brand service oriented, and professional service oriented, are identified by cluster analysis. Finally, the management references and marketing strategies aimed to each customer group are provided to air cargo terminal operators. |
