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.

Design/methodology/approach: This study presents the method as a research tool applied to regional airports, in particular, Lleida-Alguaire Airport. Findings: The study shows the importance of air transport and the current situation of Spanish airports, specifically in Catalonia, exposing the main air traffic imbalances between different airports and their effect on tourism. Finally, it describes and analyses the situation of Lleida-Alguaire Airport. Originality/value: This article is one of the first works to focus on regional airports and it seeks ways to improve their economic and social efficiency. Practical Implications: Some actions in relation with aeronautical traffic are presented in order to improve and increase the efficiency of the system. Keywords: Airport, tourism, marketing, air transport, AENA -106- Journal of Airline and Airport Management 7(1), 106-122 1. Introduction Air transport has been a fundamental element in the development of mass tourism. Aviation became the main conveyance to travel long distances and to isolated places. Nevertheless, the progressive change in the consumption of tourist products (Cabeza, 2000; Florido-Benítez, 2016), has given rise to the fact that currently, air transport is also considered a transport of great importance over medium distances.
