This study investigates the influence of TripAdvisor's online reviews on firm performance for national airlines in Korea. Utilizing a Python web crawler program, online reviews were systematically collected and analyzed. A total of 879 online reviews from TripAdvisor and financial figures from DART were used. The results of the hypothesis testing revealed that online reviews about total score, legroom, seat comfort, customer service, cleanliness, check-in and boarding, and food and beverage did not significantly influence return on assets(ROA).

This study highlights the significance of these two factors, emphasizing strategic focuses on in-flight entertainment and value for money, to foster future growth and development in firm performance.
