Present position: CEO of Nordic Aviation Advisory, Executive Director for Business Development at Nordic Aviation Group. Abstract. The European aviation market can be characterised by extreme growth and turbulence ever since the markets were deregulated and low cost carriers emerged on the continent. Initially the biggest toll was paid by main legacy carriers when low costs emerged on trunk routes, which lead to the bankruptcy of Sabena, Swiss airlines and Spanair. However, once big legacy carriers started merging and creating more alliances, sustainability was once again reached. Despite this, as low cost carriers entered the Eastern-European market and looked to stimulate even smaller regional routes, smaller carriers started to suffer. This article is assessing the status quo of the current European region- al aviation, highlighting the recent trends and ultimately coming to a conclusion that regional airlines can be sustaina- ble provided that certain key criteria have been met.

E-mail: [email protected] AN ASSESSMENT OF AIRPORT SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES: A CASE STUDY OF POLISH AIRPORTS Summary. Air transport, like every economic branch, strives for development. Air traffic is growing dynamically, which means that the natural environment is increasingly being polluted each year. Therefore, entities operating in the air transport sector should care for the environment. One of these entities - airports - introduces many restrictions for aircraft with high CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions. At the same time, they introduce many ecological activities. Every year, also at the largest Polish airports, managers carry out activities aimed at caring for the environment. The main goal of the article is to evaluate the implementation of ongoing projects related to environmental protection at selected Polish airports. For this purpose, a survey was conducted at Polish airports in March 2020. The main research thesis is that as a result of the development of air traffic, airports will start investing more in innovative solutions related to environmental protection, including solar panels. This issue is extremely important from the point of view of economic, environmental, and corporate social responsibility.

  • Central Transport Hub Building Poland’S New Transfer Airport
    Central Transport Hub Building Poland’s New Transfer Airport Central Transport Hub Building Poland’s New Transfer Airport Executive summary Worldwide, in 2018 4.3 billion people travelled on scheduled flights, a 6.5% increase from the year before. According to the industry organization IATA, in 2019 this number may rise by a further 6%, to 4.6 billion passengers. Every year air travel increases its role in the growth of business and tourism. It also exerts a substan- tial influence on investments and migration. The Polish aviation industry is still modest, however, constituting a bit over 1% of global air traffic. Air transport also plays a crucial role in the carriage of goods, representing up to 35% of global trade value. Aircraft carry high-value, low-weight cargo, such as computer chips, as well as, more and more often, e-commerce packages. These are goods with the highest influence on creating added value in the economy. However, Poland is still in the periphery when it comes to air cargo transport. Both kinds of air transport−passenger and cargo−are concentrated at hub airports. Cities and countries where such hubs are located gain tangible bene- fits: economic, social and political. There are currently no major hub airports in Poland or Central & Eastern Europe. Warsaw Chopin Airport, the largest airport in this part of the continent, does not rank among the top 30 European airports by passengers per year. Thus passengers travelling from Poland (especially in case of intercontinental flights) must fly with transfers. The main hubs handling traffic from Poland are Frankfurt and Munich, London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam, Moscow Sheremetyevo, Dubai, and Doha.

  • Methodology EN – Dataset – MCA – Omio
    Methodology Stress-free Travel: The Most Convenient European Capital Airports The ranking of airports in Europe that offer a stress-free and convenient travel experience was determined by examining all European capital cities. If a capital city had more than one airport, the main international airport, defined as the one with the largest number of international flights, was selected. To create the ranking of the most convenient airports in Europe, all airports were analysed according to 17 factors that were grouped into four data-clusters: connectivity​, f​ acilities​, e​ ntertainment ​and s​ tress​. These were then weighted according to the level of influence airport operators can exert on each data cluster. Since “facilities” and “entertainment” can be determined by airport operators, they were deemed important data clusters when determining the level of convenience, weighing 40 percent each of the final score. However, airport operators have less influence on “stress” and “connectivity,” so both data clusters contribute to only 10 percent of the final score, since the punctuality of airlines, the geographical location and the availability of public transit options to reach the airport, for instance, cannot be controlled by the managing body of the airport. Research factors and sources Data cluster one: Connectivity (10%) ● Distance: ​The linear distance in kilometres between the capital’s main train ​ station and the airport was determined using G​ oogle Maps​. ● Public transport: ​The number of public transit options connecting the main ​ airport to the city centre was sourced from the official information provided by airport operators. Shuttle services were not included unless there were no other public transit options available.

  • The Spatial Dimension of Competition Among Airports at Worldwide Level: a Spatial Stochastic Frontier Analysis
    The spatial dimension of competition among airports at worldwide level: a spatial stochastic frontier analysis Angela S. Bergantino1 Mario Intini2 Nicola Volta3 Abstract In the last decade, academic literature posed a great focus on the estimation of airport efficiency and productivity. One of the main interests has been the analysis of potential impact of airport competition on cost and technical efficiency. The novelty of our research lies in applying a spatial approach which allows for the inclusion of a distance matrix and a shared destinations matrix calibrated for different distances to estimate the impact of competition on efficiencies. By analysing statistical differences between a traditional and a spatial model, it is possible to identify possible competition effects. In this study, we analyse 206 airports for the year 2015 located in Europe, North America, and Pacific Asia sourced from the ATRS database. Our results show the existence of a spatial component which is not captured by the traditional stochastic frontier analysis. We find that competition has an effect on the efficiency level of an airport, and moreover, these effects can be positive or negative depending on the distance considered in the spatial model. 1Department of Economics, Management and Business Law, University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy.
