Abstract:
This article tries to identify the factors influencing the student intention to purchase online air tickets using the concept of planned behaviour of two developing nations India and Nepal. A survey of 200 students, 100 from India and 100 from Nepal, was carried out at a private university in India. These students use air transport for travelling as students are from different countries and different states. The hypothesis was tested using multiple regression analysis. Empirical findings confirmed that students in India and Nepal are primarily motivated by a desire to save money when purchasing airline tickets. Perceived behavioural control in Nepal and trust in India is the second factor which influences the purchase intention of students. Students' purchase intentions are unaffected by attitudes and subjective norms. The findings can enhance the understanding of airline companies by offering relevant implications from student's perspective in improving marketing strategies and customer services.
