New Air Travel Opportunities for Ceuta, a Spanish Remoter Region in Northern Africa, Generated by Air Transport Liberalisation in Neighbouring Morocco
Disciplines Andreas Papathedorou | University of West London, UK Ioulia Poulaki | University of West London, UK OPEN SKIES New air travel opportunities for Ceuta, a Spanish remoter region in Northern Africa, generated by air transport liberalisation in neighbouring Morocco. Spatial discontinuity and lack of seamless transport connections between Ceuta and the Spanish mainland pose significant accessibility challenges for the Spanish exclave 16 New Vistas • Volume 2 Issue 1 • www.uwl.ac.uk • © University of West London Article Open Skies | Author Andreas Papathedorou and Ioulia Poulaki An integrated intermodal transport system, with seamless connections of different public transport modes, may positively affect an airport enhancement of its catchment area ransport in remote regions of the world Remoter regions around the world are usually denied sufficient T surface transport services to metropolitan centres. This may be the result of a fragmented pattern in physical geography (e.g. islands separated from the mainland by sea), which renders surface transport impossible; and/ or the outcome of socio-political geography friction (e.g. disputed areas close to the frontier of neighbouring countries) which makes investment in expensive surface transport infrastructure very unappealing. For these reasons, remoter regions and their local societies depend heavily on air transport to ensure accessibility and economic and cultural connectivity to the wider world. Local airports provide the necessary means for airlines to operate their services; in certain cases, however, such airports may be located in a neighbouring country thus raising the levels of complexity in the transport system. Studying, therefore, the range of an airport’s catchment area becomes of great significance. -

In addition to the point-clouds, other outputs can be obtained, such as ortho-images, virtual itineraries, 2D cartography, and meshes, which implies a second avenue of multimedia products, such as 3D Portable Document Format (PDF) files and interactive applications. All these options are interesting for the management and broadcast of cultural heritage. The works that have been developed in this research are aimed at setting a workflow for the TLS surveying works and subsequent data management for the generation of a 3D model of the Caliphal Gate of Ceuta, which is considered as one of the most important medieval findings in Spain in recent years, and its immediate surroundings. This model and the different outputs that have been obtained from it allow for the continuation of the historiographic analysis of the complex, while documenting a partial stage in the development of the works of enhancement. -

Economics of Airport Operations(Pp
Accepted manuscript. Not for distribution. Please quote as: Beria, P., Laurino, A., & Nadia Postorino, M. (2017). Low-Cost Carriers and Airports: A Complex Relationship. In The Economics of Airport Operations(pp. 361-386). Emerald Publishing Limited. Book series: Advances in Airline Economics Volume 6: “Economics of airport operations” CHAPTER 14 Low-cost carriers and airports: A complex relationship Paolo Beria*, Antonio Laurino and Maria Nadia Postorino *author contact information: [email protected] Abstract In the last decades, low-cost carriers have generated several changes in the air market for both passengers and airports. Mainly for regional airports, low-cost carriers have represented an important opportunity to improve their connectivity levels and passenger traffic. Furthermore, many regional airports have become key factors to regenerate the local economy by improving accessibility and stimulating several markets, such as tourism. However, the relationship between low-cost carriers and airports is rather complex and the outcomes not always predictable. In order to analyse and understand better such relationship and its outcomes, this chapter discusses the main underlying factors identified in: relation with the regional air market (secondary/primary airports), balance of power (dominated/non-dominated airports) and industrial organisation (bases/non-bases). Starting from the proposed Relative Closeness Index, which combines yearly airport passengers and distance between airport pairs, a large sample of European airports is analysed. Then, a smaller sub-sample – which includes selected, significant case studies referring to mid-sized airports – is discussed in detail. Among the main findings, airports sharing their catchment area with others are in a very risky position, due to the potential mobility of LCCs, while geographically isolated airports in good catchment areas can better counterbalance the power of carriers. -
