The authors thank the referee for the constructive and helpful comments. Our detailed replies to the referee 2’s comments (in Italic) are given below. Anonymous Referee 2 This manuscript discusses an important topic, the contribution of ion-induced nucleation on atmospheric new particle formation. It is well-written, and in its current form, discreet, compared to the original manuscript. It is ...

This article explores the development of previous models to determine hubs in a competitive environment. In this paper, by comparing parameters of the ticket price, travel time and the service quality of hub airports, airline hubs are divided into six categories. The degree of importance of travel time and travel cost are determined by a multivariate Lagrange interpolation method, which can pla...

As detailed below, we respect the work of Dr. Makarieva and co-authors (Makarieva et al., 2008), but we have come to similar conclusions as Dr. Haynes and decided not to accept the manuscript for final publication in ACP. The decision is supported by the entire ACP executive committee, but for clarity and simplicity the following editorial report is formulated from my perspective as the chief-e...

In the past decade, fuel consumption and CO2 emission have increased in the airline industry. Large CO2 footprint has a damaging effect on the environment. Global concerns over this issue has made the airline industry to be greener. Most efforts of the green airline industry are improving the fuel consumption to reduce the CO2 emission and its environmental damage. Here, we use cruise speed con...

In domains such as factory assembly, it is necessary to assemble many identical instances of a particular product. While modern planners can generate assembly plans for single instances of a complex product, generating plans to manufacture many instances of a product is beyond the capabilities of standard planners. We propose ACP, a system which, given a model of a single instance of a product,...

This paper focuses on the airline industry on the Web and develops a customer-oriented airline site evaluation framework (ASEF). ASEF is specificoriented towards the airline sites. It may be useful not only to users that purchase airline services via Internet but also to designers and developers of airline websites. It may be used as a guide in order to improve their services considering all qu...

This article investigates how perceived price, airline service quality, perceived value, passenger satisfaction and airline image determine passengers’ future behavioural intentions. To test the conceptual framework, structural equation modelling using a maximum likelihood estimator was applied to data collected from Australian international air passengers. It was found that there were signific...
