Abstract

Air transport was traditionally highly regulated, fragmented and protected. With European air transport market deregulation in the mid 1980s also airports could respond to new factors. Methodology developed within the FAST project analyzed evolution of airport strategies potential in the forthcoming decade in the frame of new airport typology reflecting different strategies depending on the airport size, market type and market potential.

Highlights

  • The last decade in the European air transport market was characterized by air transport deregulation which resulted in the appearance and growth of the low cost airlines segment which characterizes a prominent share of intra-European market today [1]

  • This paper describes new trends in airport strategies and how they are adopted by airports

  • All indicators of the airport potential for growth in capacity and demand can be used to develop a typology of airports that will be used as a basis for the FAST project

Summary

Background

The last decade in the European air transport market was characterized by air transport deregulation which resulted in the appearance and growth of the low cost airlines segment which characterizes a prominent share of intra-European market today [1] Another significant advancement was the change in the airports management. In the new environment airports could play a more active role in the air transport industry. The role of the third element, airport actual size, is to take into account the existing situation of an airport This allows us to reflect the past strategies of a given airport. The principle question at the airport level is the capability to receive increasing number of passengers in the future, i.e. its capacity to grow This element will characterize the possible evolution/adaptation of recourses to a general increase of
