About the Cover

This study compares the quality of airport services rendered in Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMA1) which is the public operated airport and international terminal, and in Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA2) which is the concessioned airport and domestic terminal. They are both located in Lagos state, Nigeria. It was revealed that respondents were satisfied with the quality of airport services provided in MMA2 than the quality of airport services provided in MMA1. Also, based on the service quality attributes, Gap analysis revealed that the respondents in MMA1 were satisfied with reliability attribute and tangibles attribute, while the respondents in MMA2 were satisfied with reliability attribute. It is important to note that the expectation of respondents in MMA2 is quite more than the expectation of respondents in MMA1. Airport passengers felt dissimilar (heterogeneous) about the airport services (products) offered; this heterogeneous perception can be traceable to be one of the unique characteristics of air transport service. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a relationship between passengers’ satisfaction and service quality. Hence, service quality leads to passengers’ satisfaction. Finally, the fact that the quality of airport services provided in MMA2 is quite better than that of MMA1 can be traceable to the concession strategy of MMA2.
