What railways have done for nations, airways will do for the world. Claude Grahame-White2 Abstract: The second half of the 20th century witnessed a dynamic growth of the global sector of air transport services. Nowadays, airports constitute an essential component of transport infrastruc- ture and one of the symbols of modern economies. More and more often, airports are viewed from the perspective of economic growth, or as a source of employment. This study includes a genesis of Warsaw-Modlin Airport, demand for passengers’ transport, and an outlook for development. The underlying objective was to present the role of Warszawa Modlin Airport in the Polish air transport system. Keywords: Airport, air transport, Warsaw-Modlin Streszczenie: W drugiej połowie XX wieku nastąpił dynamiczny rozwój światowego sektora usług transportu lotniczego. Obecnie porty lotnicze stanowią niezbędny element infrastruktury transpor- towej a także jeden z symboli nowoczesnej gospodarki. Coraz częściej porty lotnicze postrzegane są przez pryzmat wzrostu ekonomicznego czy też źródła nowych miejsc pracy. W niniejszym opra- cowaniu omówiona została geneza powstania Portu Lotniczego Warszawa-Modlin. Przedstawiono popyt na przewozy pasażerskie wraz z perspektywą ich rozwoju.

Wąsowska Genesis of Warsaw-Modlin Airport The history of Warsaw Modlin Airport goes back to the year 1937, when it was developed as a military airport for the purposes of the Second Polish Repub- lic. Unused for many years, in the 40s it became a military base of the German Luftwaffe in the territory of occupied Poland. Between 1945 and 2000, it served Polish air forces as a training facility for helicopter and airplane pilots. The airport design from that period is presented in Fig. 1 below. In the year 2000, the Minis- try of National Defence made over the airport to the Military Property Agency. In 2003 in Poświętne, a Letter of Intent involving the location of an airport in the area of the former military airport in Modlin was signed by members of parliament and self-governments and by businessmen. In 2005 a draft invest- ment plan was developed. In 2006 the President of the Civil Aviation Office is- sued an authorisation for the establishment of a civil airport. Thanks to its close proximity to Warsaw, Warsaw-Modlin Airport is particu- larly attractive for low-cost air carriers organising Point-to-Point routes, for which Chopin airport is too expensive to maintain. The main task of Warsaw-Modlin Airport was to take over some of the aircraft Point-to-Point movements from the overloaded Chopin airport in Warsaw. In order to perform the said function of an operating civil airport, in 2008 the government authorised modernisation of the existing infrastructure and the construction of a passenger terminal. In Septem- ber 2009 all tender procedures ended and in 2010 the Civil Aviation Office regis- tered Warszawa-Modlin airport as a civil airport. First construction works started on 8 October 2010 and lasted till 20123. Airport geographic location and infrastructure Warsaw-Modlin Airport is a new airport with the main task of servicing Warsaw and Mazovia. It is complementary to Warsaw Chopin airport. Warsaw- Modlin Airport is located about 40km north of Warsaw centre, and 6km north- west of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, at the Warsaw and Gdańsk exit road. The aver- age elevation of the airport above sea level is 104m - Fig. 2. Nearby the airport there is Modlin railway station, which services the no 9 railway line Warsaw - Gdańsk. There is a rail siding of a total length of 5.6km running from Modlin station to the airport border, which requires modernisa- tion, if used for airport purposes. Passengers are carried from Modlin railway station to the airport by motor transport. 3 www.modlinairport.pl (of 21/08/2016).

Wąsowska The basic infrastructure of the airport in question includes: an asphalt concrete runway 2500m in length and 45m in width, with concrete edges, and category II navigation lighting - an updated airport design is presented in Fig. 3. The Modlin infrastructure is mainly used by budget airlines and charter carriers. The airport services international short- and medium-distance flights and do- mestic flights, offering flights of both regular and low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair and Wizzair4. Fig. 3 Up-to-date airport design Source: www.modlin.warszawa.pl (21/08/2016). Modlin Airport in comparison with other Polish airports – supply, demand Warsaw-Modlin Airport serves as an airport complementing Chopin’s (main airport’s) services. In the light of statistical data regarding air traffic in 2012-2014, Warsaw-Modlin Airport needs to be considered an essential ele- ment fulfilling a highly important role in the Mazowieckie Province airport sys- tem, offering the best conditions for a wider range of low-cost and charter ser- vices. Typical of the low-cost traffic segment is for low-cost carriers to use sup- plementary airports of a relatively lower level service quality and lower airport fees, compared to major airports. Low-cost airline passengers are more flexible in comparison with traditional line customers, e.g. they accept inconvenience associated with reaching an airport in return for a lower ticket price. Considering the competitive prices of tickets offered by Warsaw-Modlin Airport carriers, compared to comparable routes offered by Chopin Airport, Modlin Airport must be recognised as playing a major role in creating a new demand for air transport. Thus, it appears that the airport competes for carriers 4 www.modlin.warszawa.pl (21/08/2016). Seria: Administracja i Zarządzanie (38) 2016 ZN nr 111 The role of Warsaw-Modlin Airport in the Polish air transport system 285 and passengers with Chopin Airport only to a certain extent (traffic substitu- tion). Partly, some of the traffic served there is the so-called “new traffic”, which consists of passenger groups for which Chopin Airport’s ticket prices were too high to afford a flight (in turn, they used other transportation means or did not travel at all). Factors stimulating a sudden demand for air transport services were, amongst other things: market liberalization, liberalization of laws, Polish acces- sion to the European Union, corporatization, commercialization and privatiza- tion of airports, and new types of carriers entering the market. After a one-month-operation, between 16 July 2012 and 15 August 2012, Warsaw-Modlin Airport served 161,119 passengers and performed 1,106 air- craft operations. One of the key carriers, Wizz Air, served 118,958 passengers and performed 702 aircraft operations. Another main carrier, Ryanair, served 41,800 passengers and performed 322 aircraft operations. A record-breaking number of checked passengers and flights was noted on 10 August 2012, with 6,407 served passengers. At that time, one could reach 21 European cities from Modlin Airport5. Within less than six months the airport served 900,000 passengers. Owing to runway repair works, between 22 December and 3 July the airport was closed. Fig. 4.

Attractions off the beaten track 20 6. Tourist traffic characteristics 24 7. Meetings industry 28 8. Warsaw’s image 32 Sources 36 Warsaw’s pulse beats to the rhythm of its residents: not only in the city centre but in all 18 districts of the capital. Each one is a mosaic of colourful vibes, authentic stories and unique tastes. Within these districts we are witnessing a revitalisation of post- industrial spaces, the development of new estates and attractions as well as the creation of business and recreation zones. The former industrial districts of Wola and Powiśle are undergoing change; the former “Koneser” vodka distillery in Praga district has transformed into a modern space where all types of outdoor events take place and are open to all. Warsaw’s residents more often spend time outside the city centre and value the variety and atmosphere of all Warsaw’s districts, and in so doing, inspire those visiting the capital to discover places off the beaten track. A popular meeting place is beside the River Vistula: one can relax here along the modern boulevards and well-kept beaches, do sport or explore the “wild” bank, which is a part of the protected “Natura 2000” network. It is easy to relax outdoors in any of Warsaw’s dozens of green squares, parks and gardens which regularly host a variety of events including the popular breakfast markets and ‘eco bazaars’, in line with the worldwide trend in health and an ecological lifestyle.

  • Analysis of Passenger Traffic in Polish Airports in the First Quarter of the Year 2014
    ANALYSIS OF PASSENGER TRAFFIC IN POLISH AIRPORTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR 2014 Review: Statistics and Analysis Division Warsaw, 11th July 2014 1 • Slide 3- 4 Summary • Slide 5 Total number of passengers • Slide 6 Total number of flight operations • Slide 7 Seasonality of traffic • Slide 8 Airports results- comparison with ACI • Slide 9 Airports- individual results • Slide 10 Domestic and international traffic - comparison with ACI • Slide 11 Scheduled traffic • Slide 12 Charter traffic • Slide 13 RPKMs, ASKMs, LF YTD - comparison with IATA data • Slide 14 RPKMs, ASKMs, LF quarterly • Slide 15 Air carriers- business models • Slide 16 Low-cost carriers- comparison with European data • Slide 17 Network carriers- comparison with AEA carriers 2 Summary • Polish airports served nearly 5 million passengers which constitutes an 6.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. This result was approximately 1.8 percentage points better compared to the ACI airports. Taking into account the fact that for the majority of other indicators the Polish market also exceeded the benchmarks of Europe and the World, the past quarter should be considered as good. The following events deserve special attention: the stoppage of Ryanair’s expansion, a significant change in the network to Germany and a development of long-haul charter offer. • Despite the increase in passenger numbers, the Polish market saw a decrease in the number of operations by 2.5% in 2014. This result was possible through the increase of the average number of passengers per flight, as a consequence of increasing the average aircraft size by about 5 places and the higher seat factor by about 3 percentage points .

  • CONSUMPTION PATTERNS of FOREIGN TOURISTS in POLAND TRAVELLING with Lccs and THEIR ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the Light of the Results of a Pilot Survey
    KNUV 2017; 3(53): 148-172 Tomasz Dziedzic Szkoła Główna Turystyki i Rekreacji – Warszawa Kacper Osiecki Bioscope Research Ltd. – Warszawa conSumption pAtternS oF Foreign TOURIStS in polAnd trAVelling with lccs And their economic eFFectS in the light oF the reSultS oF A pilot SurVey Summary The article aims to present and interpret the results of a pilot survey carried out among passengers at the Warsaw Modlin Airport in 2016. It is discussed in the context of the development of the Polish airline market in recent years, selected elements of its structure and changes thereof. Flights to and from the Modlin airport are solely operated by low-cost airlines, which significantly facilitates access to and the separation of the group of passengers who do not permanently reside in Poland (defined as foreign visitors) as well as determining their characteristics. The survey whose main results are presented below was a pilot study, designed as the first stage of a larger research project mostly aimed at estimat- ing the impact of inbound tourist traffic served by LCCs on the economy and, indirectly, also on public finance (the budget, taxes). The objective of the first stage of the survey referred to in the article was to test the hypothesis that LCC passengers permanently residing abroad had attributes which called for further research. Taking into consideration a number of important criteria, their image does not significantly differ from the characteristics of all tourists visiting Poland. Neither do they account for a marginal share of air transport in the low-cost segment. In the opinion of the Author, the hypothesis was confirmed by the pilot survey results.

  • 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.
