The article summarises the essence of airport infrastructure and explores the roles of production airport infrastructure in the world air transport system. It is noted that airport infrastructure is a complex dynamic subsystem of global production infrastructure of the world economy and is aimed...

This paper explores passengers’ perceptions toward airport service quality through a content analysis. Using 1341 review comments posted on the Skytrax website, we identify satisfiers, dissatisfiers, and performance factors that determine passengers’ experiences at the Honolulu International...

Background: A multi-faceted analysis of the positioning of logistics facilities relative to airports is a topical aspect of the interconnections between transport infrastructure and the spatial configuration of economic activities. Regardless of the wide range of studies that exist on the topic,...

Background: The main goal of this case study is to analyze the air traffic, air cargo, and the safety-hygiene air corridor between UK and Spain, in airports managed by MAG Group (UK) and AENA Group (Spain). Methods: To review the specific paradigm of research which discusses, investigates, and...

Background: Nowadays, variable domination structure is instrumental in studying multiobjective decision making problems. We investigate multiobjective location problems with respect to variable domination structure and its applications in supply chain management. Methods: We formulate practical...

The ground handling operations are used in airports for handling activities and processing passengers with the help of specially designed vehicles known as ground support equipment. The ground support equipment (GSE) is being parked after serving a flight until the next flight. The GSE idle...

This article aims at applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with PESTEL Analysis to quantitatively conduct an industry analysis. The public airports, under operations of the Department of Airports, located in the local and regional parts of Thailand is employed as a case study. By...

The air cargo industry is hugely important to national economies, trade, and development. Thus far, there has been limited research on the landside freight industry. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to extend the understanding of how alterations in the air cargo industry impact on its...

Viele aktuelle Probleme im Luftverkehr hängen mit der Zahl der Flugbewegungen zusammen. Überfüllungen im Luftraum, erschwerte Koordination an Flughäfen, hohe Emissionen von Lärm und Schadstoffen sowie große Komplexität der Airlines sind Begleiterscheinungen zu vieler Flugbewegungen. Die...

Using individual house sale data and the release of an airport noise contour map, the relationship between airport noise contours and house prices in Melbourne is studied. House prices are not related to noise contours but annual aircraft movements and distance from the runway are both...

The airline industry's current financial crisis has raised concerns over the ramifications of airline bankruptcies for air service and the economy. Such bankruptcies, however, nearly always occur when demand is weak, and, thus, when even healthy airlines are inclined to reduce flights. Moreover,...

This dissertation consists of four related studies on the assessment of decentralized welfare-maximizing airport congestion policies involving (grandfathered) slot policy and pricing policy. Different demand structures and airport networks are considered in the presence of origin-destination...

This study was about the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) measurement and its relation to profitability in the airport industry. The main purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the ASQ measurement in Airports by investigating the relationships of service quality in terms of...

The object of research is the professional activity of an air traffic controller of the airport traffic control tower (henceforth Tower controller). The subject of research is the regularities revealing in this specialist activity in the performance of its work responsibility for the trainee...

We analyze multi-runway airport slot allocation problems during adverse weather. The number of slots assigned in any time interval is the same across feasible and non-wasteful landing schedules. The structure of the set of assigned slots is more complex than its counterpart in the single-runway...

This study examined the effect of airport operators’ passenger service facility charge (PSFC) on airport and airline firms’ revenues, using demand and airfare functions estimated from Japanese data. In particular, it explored the relationship between PSFC and elasticity of airline routes,...

The current COVID-19 pandemic has hit most sectors of the world and has led to many industries coming to a standstill. It has led to restrictions of movement and travel ban. As a result of these restrictions, transport sector especially in aviation has impacted badly. A scenario-based analysis...

Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, repeated airport closures due to potential security breaches have imposed substantial costs on travelers, airlines, and government agencies in terms of flight delays and cancellations. Using data from the year following September 11th, this study...

This study investigates whether airports should be prohibited from charging differential charges to airlines, as the 1944 Chicago Convention and the EU directive intend. We consider an international network in which two countries’ airports are interlinked and served by each country’s...

This study explores flight characteristics' impacts on commercial revenues based on transaction data at Incheon Airport duty-free shops. We employ flight type, transit passenger proportion, flight delay time, and departure gate location as flight characteristics. Two indicators, per-flight...

The likely resurgence of air traffic in the U.S. means that airport congestion is a problem that must soon be confronted by policy makers. As part of their policy response, it is probable that some form of congestion pricing will be imposed at selected U.S. airports in the relatively near...

Airports are identified hotspots for air pollution, notably for fine particles (PM2.5) that are pivotal in aerosol-cloud interaction processes of climate change and human health. We herein studied the field observation and statistical analysis of 10 years data of PM2.5 and selected emitted...

This paper explores the impact of airport noise regulation on airline service quality and airfares. It also characterizes the socially optimal stringency of noise limits, taking both noise damage and the various costs borne by airlines and their passengers into account. The analysis also...
