Regional airports revisited University of Antwerp
This paper aims to identify gaps in the literature and present a future research agenda for investigations on regional airports. The research topics appearing from the systematic literature review are linked to the roles that regional airports have held and currently hold. In this way, challenges and research gaps that deserve extra attention are identified. Moreover, the paper deals with one of the most pressing research gaps, the definition of ...
Spatial characteristics of aircraft CO₂ emissions at different airports University of Antwerp
This paper analyzes aircraft CO2 emissions (in both quantity and intensity per passenger) during landing and take-off cycles at nine different airports in Jiangsu province (China) over a ten-year time span (2007-2016). Our database is unique and very detailed in that we combine flight schedules, with aircraft type (engines) used, and landing-and-take-off cycles. We are particularly interested in how the spatial characteristics impact emission ...
An analysis of the context factors influencing the diverse response of airports to COVID-19 using panel and group regression University of Antwerp
Since 2020, the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to various levels of recovery across different aviation markets. To better plan for the future, post-pandemic era, air transport policies should consider the potential differential responses of airports to the pandemic based on their geographic network and competitive situations. Much literature provides policy recommendations for planning and development in the post-pandemic era, ...
Can flexibility make the difference to an airport's productivity? An assessment using cluster analysis University of Antwerp
Airport managers are facing a tough challenge: how to maintain a costly infrastructure with a long life-cycle in an increasingly volatile market? Traditional airport development approaches, based on master plans are no longer adequate. Flexibility has been advanced as a possible solution. We can define flexibility as the capacity of an object to accommodate external pressures while still keeping its functions. The literature on flexibility is ...
Recent EU Legislative Action on Airports KU Leuven
In 2007, the European Commission has issued an ‘Airport Package’ announcing a wide range of airport-related legislative initiatives. This article outlines recent legislative and regulatory activity based on the Airport Package. The first part of the article focuses on initiatives related to airport capacity problems. It offers an overview of recent efforts to improve the use of existing capacity and discusses the issue of new airport ...
Airports of the future: essentials for a renewed business model University of Antwerp
This paper addresses the interaction between airports and airline companies taking into account the evolution of air transport in the last decades and an approach to integrated quality of service. Traditionally airport management, just like all transport infrastructure management, use to look at airlines as their primary customers, due to their legally binding agreements and because airlines pay for several charges, such as landing and parking ...
