Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of in-flight atmospheric elements on customer satisfaction, and behavioral intentions on customer satisfaction. In this respect an online questionnaire was implemented with the participation of 436 participants who have previous travel experience with an airline in Turkey. It was revealed that the in-plane atmospheric elements have a positive effect on customer satisfaction; the spatial layout and employee factor, and vehicle aesthetics have a positive effect on customer satisfaction, while the dimensions of ambience and the view from the window affected customer satisfaction negatively. Moreover, it was found out that customer satisfaction has a positive effect on the behavioral intention dimensions of revisit intention, recommendation intention, and willingness to pay more. According to these results, it was concluded that many factors in the plane affect the customer's preference to use the company again.
