EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to study and understand the relationship of word of mouth of ABAC students on Air Asia. The research objectives are set to measure the degree of independent variables of booking and pricing policy, operation, aircraft quality, and check-in service quality affect the word of mouth of Air Asia as a dependent variable as seen from the proposed conceptual model, studying the relationship between all factors towards the level of word of mouth.
The research was conducted among a sample of 200 ABAC students using questionnaires. Through the research, we found that booking and pricing policy, aircraft quality, and check-in services are perceived highly while operation on the other hand, is not. We can conclude from the research results that word of mouth can be significant predicted by booking and pricing policy, aircraft quality, operation, and check-in services among ABAC students by forty-four percent. Furthermore, booking and pricing policy, aircraft quality, and check-in services are the three out of four factors that affect word of mouth (WOM) towards Air Asia with aircraft quality being the most influential factor. Operation is the only factor that does not affect word of mouth in this case.
The recommendation for Air Asia is to emphasize on maintaining and continuous improvement of its booking and pricing policy, aircraft quality, and check-in services since they affect word of
