PROCEEDINGS of the 40Th ANNUAL MEETING PROCEEDINGS OF THE40 Th ANNUAL MEETING OF ME TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH FORUM Philadelphia, Pennsylvania October 29-31, 1998 Volume 1 AsS 2,1 Welcome to the Transportation Research Forum's 1998 Annual Meeting These proceedings contain those papers presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Forum, held in Philadelphia from October 29-31, 1998, that were received by the deadline publishing date. All papers were reviewed by the Program Vice President to assess their suitability for inclusion in these volumes. Additional papers may be made available by some of the presenters at the time of the Conference. The Transportation Research Forum (TRF) is an independent organization of transportation professionals providing pertinent and timely information to those who conduct research and those who use and benefit from research. It functions as an impartial meeting ground for carriers, shippers, government officials, consultants, university researchers, suppliers, and others seeking an exchange of information and ideas related to both passenger and freight transportation. The Transportation Research Forum started with a small group of transportation researchers in New York in 1958 and the first national meeting was held in St. Louis in 1960. National meetings have been held annually since 1960 at various cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. Numerous TRF members and supporters aided in the development of this year's Forum, but it is authors of the papers, the organizers and contributors to the various panels, and the session chairs who make TRF annual meetings so worthwhile and enjoyable. The conference program simply reflects the interests, enthusiasm and commitment of those members of the transportation community. Special thanks go to Patrick and Judy Little who graciously agreed to assemble this year's proceedings for me. Without their help, the job of Program Chair would have been much more of a burden. A number of other TRF members also assisted in the development of this meeting. Randy Resor and Jim Blaze were constant sources of ideas and encouragement. When help was asked for, they came through repeatedly. Other TRF members provided help with the program in their areas of interest. I want to thank Alan Bender, Michael Belzer, Ken Ericksen, Paul Gessner, Harold Kurzman, Scott Omstein, Clint Oster, and Peter Smith for their help. Claire LaVaye at the University of Texas assisted with promoting the meeting on TRF's website. Finally, Rick Guggolz provided valuable assistance on the businees arrangements for the conference. We are also grateful to those companies and organizations who have sponsored awards or made other contributions to the success of the Forum. These include: LTK Engineering, The Metropolitan Transit Association, and RailTex. Among our own members, we are especially indebted to the TRF Foundation, the Cost Analysis Chapter and the Aviation Chapter for their assistance and support. These proceedings are prepared and distributed at the TRF Annual Forum as a means of disseminating information and stimulating an exchange of ideas during the meeting. Every effort has been made to reproduce these papers accurately. TRF, however, assumes no responsibility for the content of the papers contained in these volumes.

This paper describes and structure, and main policy issues as of early 1998. Due to emerging industry the lack of consistent data and the difficulty in securing public release of the Information that is available, this paper should not be viewed as a traditional academic analysis, but rather more of a clinical study. Back l'iussla is so vast that air transport, though much reduced since the 1980s, will continue to Play a major role in the economy. More than two-thirds of intercity passenger travel and a lia,!t rial Part of cargo transport is done by air. In a number of Russian regions, especially and the providing access to the Other epria Kola Peninsula, air transport is the only mode ans of the country. The Portance of civil aviation is reflected in the size of the sector. There were about persons employed in the sector in 1997. The old integrated Aeroflot system has joearnteed co inreto about 340 airlines, with a total fleet of about 8,000 aircraft (of which passenger and cargo planes), serving 845 airports. There are 14 training institiltions and 4 research agencies dedicated to aviation, not including governmental o_troganizations. .Civil aviation is big business: users spend $4-$4.5 billion per year on inestic and international air tickets (about 0.8-0.9 percent of GDP). Prior to 1 991, the Russian'- civil aviation system was a massive vertically-integrated t . ?P°1Y.1 Aeroflot was responsible for everything - air services, airports, air navigation, Collapsed'g ac cident investigation, and virtually all related services. When the Soviet Union air rtLt,he.old Aeroflot ministry-cum-holdingcompany (for all air carrier operations, corn....—""cl air navigation offledgling separate -Tames, systems) shattered into hundreds amidst confusion over the role of the federal government. si ftrt:d escription of J. Aeroflot's structure and performance during the Soviet era, see chapter 7 in J. For'merand MeYer (with C. Harral and G. Smith), Moving to Market: Restructuring Transport in the Soviet Union, (Cambridge, MA,USA: Harvard University Press, 1996), pp. 135-156. 667 The effects of transition have been devastating. Passenger traffic in 1996 was 43 percent of 1991 levels, and only about one-third of the peak 1989 volume. Domestic passenger traffic was about 20% of the maximum levels reached during the 1980s and was still declining through 1996. Ton-mileage in 1996 was just under half of the 1991 level. By 1997, international air passenger traffic and cargo traffic had begun to show growth in line with the economy, while preliminary domestic traffic data indicated that 1997 may have been the first year this decade in which volume has not fallen. Two significant international passenger flows have sprung up since 1992. One is "shopping tourism": small merchants flying to Turkey and the Gulf states to stock up on foodstuffs, liquor, clothing and the like for street kiosks, bringing back large quantities of accompanied luggage. The other is wealthy "new Russians" taking vacations in the Mediterranean. Both rely on charters to circumvent the regional airlines' lack of rights to operate scheduled services under Russia's bilateral agreements. So-called "regular charters" have emerged to serve these market segments. The small trader business is likely to ease off as conventional import/export business matures, but the outbound tourism is likely to keep growing rapidly. These traffic declines have had severe consequences for financial performance and investment. The estimated sector loss in 1996 was 1.7 trillion rubles(about 350 million US dollars, or about 7 percent of revenues). Most airports were reported as profitable; the losses were incurred in airline

Gerasimov AIR TRANSPORT IN RUSSIA AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY The study aims to collect and analyse statistics of Russian air transport, show the in- fluence of air transport on the national economy over the period from 2007 to 2016, compare the sector’s role in Russia with the one in other countries. The study reveals the significance of air transport for Russian economy by comparing airlines’ and air- ports’ monetary output to the gross domestic product. On the basis of the research, the policies in the aviation sector can be adjusted by government authorities. Ключевые слова: Russia, aviation, GDP, economic impact, air transport, statistics. Introduction According to Air Transport Action Group, the air transport industry supports 62.7 million jobs globally and aviation’s total global economic impact is $2.7 trillion (approximately 3.5% of the Gross World Product) [1]. Aviation transported 4 billion passengers in 2017, which is more than a half of world population, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization [2]. It makes the industry one of the most important ones in the world. It has a consid- erable effect on national economies by providing a huge number of employment opportunities both directly and indirectly in such spheres as tourism, retail, manufacturing, agriculture, and so on. Air transport is a driving force behind economic connection between different regions because it may entail economic, political, and social effects.
