This article examines the demand for air passengers transportation and analyzes it`s price superiority in comparison with alternative modes of transportation in Honam region. It is appeared that the ranking of the demand for air passengers transportation in Gwangju ares is first, and Yosu area second, Mokpo area third, Gunsan fourth respectively. Most of the demand are concentrated on Honam-Seoul route. Also, it is analyzed that the price superiority of main airline route (Gwangju-Seoul, Yosu-Seoul, Mokpo-Seoul) is inferior to the alternative transportation services or slightly above. In brief, under the ongoing fare system, it is very hare to prevail for the price superiority of air passenger transportation over the alternatives. Based on these results, this article suggests that the government should promote the entry of air liner enterprise specializing in the domestic line and local line with under medium size passenger airplane with low cost, and that new airport available for medium size airplane should be established in Jeonju area and Janghung area.
