European Hub Airports – Assessment of Constraints for Market Power in the Local Catchment and on the Transfer Market
Technische Universität Dresden Fakultät Verkehrswissenschaften „Friedrich List” Institut für Wirtschaft und Verkehr DISSERTATION European Hub Airports – Assessment of Constraints for Market Power in the Local Catchment and on the Transfer Market zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor rerum politicarum (Dr. rer. pol.) im Rahmen des Promotionsverfahrens an der Fakultät Verkehrswissenschaften „Friedrich List“ der Technischen Universität Dresden vorgelegt von: Annika Paul, geb. Reinhold geb. am 30.09.1981 in Gifhorn Gutachter: Prof. Dr. rer. pol. habil. Bernhard Wieland Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Hans-Martin Niemeier Ort und Tage der Einreichung: Dresden, 23. Januar 2018 Ort und Tag der Verteidigung: Dresden, 04. Juni 2018 Abstract Airports have long been considered as an industry in which firms are able to exert significant market power. Nowadays, there is controversial discussion whether airports face a degree of competition which is sufficient to constrain potentially abusive behaviour resulting from this market power. The level of competition encountered by European airports has hence been evaluated by analysing the switching potential of both airlines and passengers between different airports, for example. The research within this thesis contributes to the field of airport competition by analysing the degree of potential competition 36 European hub airports face on their origin-destination market in their local catchments as well as on the transfer market within the period from 2000 to 2016. For this purpose, a two-step approach is applied for each market, with first analysing the degree of market concentration, using the Herfindahl Hirschman Index as a measure, for each destination offered at the hub airports and the respective development over time.

Its specific objectives included to determine the impact of digital platforms, mobile technology, Blockchain technology and travel intermediaries on the performance of selected airline in Kenya. This study was restricted to three airlines in Kenya, namely, Kenya Airways, Jambojet and Fly540. Methodology: It focused on 120 staff working within the Nairobi offices of these airlines based on their familiarity with strategic initiatives employed in responding to disruptive innovations. The theoretical review featured the following theories: the theory of disruptive innovations; radical innovations theory; the theory of open innovation; and diffusion of innovations theory. This study applied a descriptive research design since it was focussed on describing the characteristics of the participants involved in the study since this is a social research. It adopted a census method for determining the sample size. It used self-administered questionnaires on 120 respondents from the target population who were given two weeks to complete the questionnaires before collection using a drop and pick arrangement was adopted. The study used a five point Likert scale to develop the questionnaire to use in tandem with two measures of central tendency, standard deviation and mean, to describe the data.
