Success factors
3. November 2020
What are the factors that make regional airports successful?
Here are some questions that should be kept in mind when we talk about success factors for regional airports:
- The unique catchment
(population, incoming tourism, economy) but also the proximity to larger airports is an important factor.However, this does not explain everything. Some airports have comparable catchment areas but still a huge difference with regards to passenger numbers.
- Is the tourism
in the region also relevant for air travel?
- What are the main trading partners
of the region?
- What are the alternative modes of transport?
- And of course, what are the competitive advantages
of one airport compared to the airports in the neighborhood?
I am working on a map that shows all airports ( I started with the region I know quite well), the distance/travel time (at the moment only by car) to other airports, the number of passengers. Then I started to analyze the unique catchment area (population and incoming international tourism).
The longer I look at the picture the more thoughts/ideas are generated. Please not that I have used 2018/2019 data because I truly believe that we will come back to this level.
"The airport as an overall concept." We merge the efforts of the departments in one overall result.
We see the full picture and have the ability to identify the drivers that matter and the real game changers
