Konstantinos Malagas1, Alexandra Fragoudaki2, Kyriakos Kourousis3, Nikitas Nikitakos1 ABSTRACT: The air transport industry in Greece has been experiencing a significant growth. However, higher education INTRODUCTION has missed so far this export opportunity. Public universities AVIATION INDUSTRY: THE GENERAL CONTEXT and technological educational institutes have very limited The aviation industry continues to grow, despite economic undergraduate offerings in the fields of aeronautical engineering and aircraft maintenance technology, respectively. These and other issues affecting economic development in many programs are offered only in the local language, practically parts of the world. The global aviation workforce counts with restricting them to the indigenous market. Postgraduate approximately 10 million people acting directly in the industry offerings are currently inexistent. This study proposes a and nearly 63 million people in support of the industry, including generic model for undergraduate and postgraduate aviation programs. This model, aligning with the world’s best practice tourism services (ATAG 2016). Aviation is very important for in aviation education, would have to be adjusted to meet the Greek economy, in terms of its influence on tourism and the Greek aviation industry. A preliminary investigation to trade. Moreover, air transportation connects geographically identify the characteristics of the model was conducted in remote areas, including the large number of islands around the Greek aviation industry, through a survey supported with in-depth interviews. The research findings suggest that it is the country. The Greek air transport market comprised 48.81 necessary to invest in the strengths of the Greek aviation million passengers in 2015, compared to 44.6 million in 2014, industry (aviation services and aircraft maintenance) and the which corresponds to 9.5%. In the same year, the domestic traffic strategic advantages of the country (climate favorable for flight training and touristic attractiveness). The need for a increased by 20% and the international one, by 5.5% (Hellenic Civil postgraduate aviation program is highlighted, in contrast to Aviation Authority 2016). The long-term passenger traffic trend the introduction of an undergraduate program, which came (international and domestic; Fig. 1) is also indicative of the up as less desirable. Moreover, the need for export-driven aviation sector growth in Greece. target-oriented synergies between industry and academia has been a key observation. Aegean Airlines, following the acquisition of Olympic Air, has a key role in the Greek air transport industry, having served, in 2015, KEYWORDS: Aviation, Aviation education, Aviation training, 11.5 million passengers with a fleet of 58 aircraft (Aviator 2014). Air transport, Higher education, Universities. Moreover, new airlines, such as Ellinair and Astra Airlines, apart from serving the Greek market, expand their activities to foreign countries (e.g. Russian Federation). Until today, all Greek airports are owned and managed by the State, except for the Athens International Airport (AIA), which commenced its operation in 2001. A recent development is the approval of the agreement between the Greek Government and private investors for the privatization of 14 Greek airports.

    University of the Aegean Shipping, Trade and Transport Department Georgia Tsitsou “High-speed rail and air transport competition: The case of Athens – Thessaloniki” 16/10/2019 Research Dissertation for the Master Program “Shipping, Trade and Transport Department – ΝΑΜΕ” Author: Georgia Tsitsou Supervisor: Seraphim Kapros Chios 1 Abstract This research dissertation analyses the potential of the high speed train to compete with the airline market. The context proposed is hypothetical, given that the high speed train alternative is not yet available on the route subject to research. In order to model passenger preferences relative to the characteristics of the alternatives, experimental design techniques are applied, which allow for the design of the market that will be evaluated by current airline passengers. Based upon the information collected, modal choices are analysed, estimating a logit model with both alternatives. Demand modelling allows us to predict the substitutability level of the high speed train in comparison with the plane for the city pair Athens – Thessaloniki and in reverse, for different types of traveler. The results obtained confirm that the high speed train will have an important impact on the airline market. The simulation of different policies related to service variables stresses the fact that this impact will mainly depend on the relation gender – price, age – time, occupancy – accuracy/ reliability and reasons for travelling – accuracy/ reliability. In contrast, in the city pair Thessaloniki – Athens, there is statistically significant correlation between gender and fewer stops or better connections and reason for travelling and price. Suggestions that were provided at the final part of the dissertation concentrate on gaining a better overview of passengers’ preference for each mode of transport and needs by conducting a respective research in train platforms.
