Since the lifting of the pandemic status, Indonesia’s aviation industry has experienced significant growth, marked by a rise in both domestic and international passengers. Bali, particularly I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, has emerged as a major destination, with a 22% increase in total passengers between 2023 and 2024. Jeju Air is one of the international airlines that recently launched a route to Bali, making service quality crucial, especially in ground handling activities like the check-in process. This research investigates the impact of check-in counter personnel service quality on the satisfaction of Jeju Air passengers at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. Conducted between May 1st and 30th, the study employed a quantitative method using simple linear regression analysis. Data were collected, analyzed, presented, and concluded systematically. The theoretical framework combines the Servqual model of service quality (Zeithaml et al.) and passenger satisfaction theory by Kotler. Results show a positive influence of service quality on satisfaction, evidenced by a t-value (5.776) exceeding the t-table value (2.425), thus supporting the alternative hypothesis. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.254, indicating that 25.4% of the variation in passenger satisfaction is explained by the quality of check-in counter services.

This study aims to analyze the handling of left-behind baggage by Lost & Found officers of PT Gapura Angkasa for Fly Scoot airline at Zainnudin Abdul Madjid Internation Airport, Lombok. Left -behind baggage is a critical issue in ground handling service as it directly affects passenger satisfaction and the airline’s reputation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal several key factors contributing to babbage being left-behind, including limited time during connecting flights, labeling errors, and the inclusion of prohibited items such as betteries and power bank is cheked baggage. Additionally, procedural errors and human error were also identified as challenges in the handling process. To address these issues, Lost & Found Officers track baggage through the World Tracer system, coordinate with the origin airport and related airline, and arrange delivery of the baggage to passengers’ addresses. This research is expected to serve as an evaluative reference for improving the quality of left-behind baggage handling services at the airport.
