Figure 4. Mean values of the factors wait time, personnel costs, strictness, fairness, airport security and crime deterrence. X-axis represents the question “Which airport is better regarding…?”, 5-point rating scale; y-axis represents the question “How important are these factors?”, 5-point rating scale. The error bars represent confidence intervals.
