Abstract
The article summarises the essence of airport infrastructure and explores the roles of production airport infrastructure in the world air transport system. It is noted that airport infrastructure is a complex dynamic subsystem of global production infrastructure of the world economy and is aimed at providing competitive air transportation services. It is substantiated that the competitive production infrastructure of international airports is a key element of the economic development of countries in the world economy. In particular, reliable airport infrastructure is one of the key factors in increasing the countries capacity for real economic growth, both in the short and long term. Generalised and systematic views of scientists have led to the conclusion that today there is no single universally accepted methodology that would comprehensively explore and evaluate the competitiveness of the airport's infrasystem, and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, this study aims to develop and substantiate the methodology for assessing the level of competitiveness of the production infrastructure of international airports in the global aviation market. The proposed methodological approach makes it possible to provide a practical assessment of the competitiveness of the airport's infrasystem, taking into account the wide range of indicators, converted through a fuzzy linguistic approach. It should be noted that the main purpose of creating and implementing an evaluation system is to facilitate the successful implementation of the competitiveness management functions of the production infrastructure of international airports in the global aviation market. The developed model may be used by international aviation organisations and governments in the process of strategic planning of the air transport development.
Highlights
Today, the importance is given to the study of airport infrastructure, its role in the global air transport system and its importance in the system of ensuring the global competitiveness
There is a need for a comprehensive assessment, taking into account the situation and unique conditions that shape the determinants of the competitiveness of the production infrastructure of international airports (PIIA)
We introduce fuzzy linguistic variables: variable X – «importance», which characterises the importance of the competitiveness indicator of PIIA; and the variable Y is «level», which indicates the level of the corresponding indicator
Summary
The importance is given to the study of airport infrastructure, its role in the global air transport system and its importance in the system of ensuring the global competitiveness. Due to a combination of rapid technological changes, industry consolidation, the emergence of new airline business models, the willingness of consumers to pay for safe and cost-effective services, the air transport system, as compared to other infrastructure sectors, creates opportunities for countries to integrate into global markets and for economic growth. There is a need for a comprehensive assessment, taking into account the situation and unique conditions that shape the determinants of the competitiveness of the production infrastructure of international airports (PIIA). This will give the ability to identify competitive advantages or disadvantages, to work out the ways to eliminate them and, in result, to strengthen the ability of airport infrastructure to contribute to the social and economic growth of countries
