For this purpose, a survey study was conducted in Kayseri and Bursa, which are Turkey's important trade, industry, and tourism cities, on the 3-month period between January and March 2018. Chi-square tests, t-tests and one-way anova tests were used for the analysis of the data collected from the questionnaires. According to the empirical findings obtained as a result of the analysis of the data set, the most preferred mode of transportation between Bursa and Kayseri provinces was the private vehicle/individual's own vehicle. The most important criteria in the choice of transportation mode were found to be non-stop transportation and affordable prices for the travel/tickets. Results of the study concluded that in the future, if a non-stop flight is placed between the two cities, the majority of the participants, 72.3%, will prefer the air travel. Non-stop flights to the city pair in question will contribute to the development of trade and economy in both cities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticleN/AN/A56422602279518045
