This paper benchmarks the key performance measures of the hub airports in Southeast Asia. Our investigation suggests that (1) Hong Kong has been a leader in terms of network connectivity, traffic growth, hub airline developments, and cargo logistics. (2) Bangkok airport's growth has been constrained by political instability and weak hub airline development; in the long-run, the airport, however, has great potential. (3) The development of low-cost carriers have become a major driver for traffic growth, but the implications to airport connectivity have been unclear. (4) Despite limited progress on regional liberalization, intra-Asian routes have clearly contributed to traffic growth and hub airport connectivity. (5) Governments should safeguard airline competition by promoting market liberalization and airport capacity investments.

One of the keys to the transformation of a region is the expansion of transportation networks. Airports will continue to develop as significant growth centres. The literature review in this article suggests various concepts of importance for connectivity while stating the significance of airport corridors as emerging economic corridors. The objective of this article is to calculate the landside connectivity for road networks for different tiers of airports in their influence areas, as well as to identify the regions that are most and least accessible in the Indian context. This study analysed geographical aspects based on graph theory and the connectivity indices of road networks. The airports were ranked based on these connectivity indices, resulting in the selected case of Bagdogra Airport, West Bengal being used for accessibility analysis. This study also includes centrality indices to determine accessibility in the airport region based on QGIS tools. The centrality indices increase with distance from the airport, indicating the impact of airport connectivity in the identified influence area. The results show critical nodes and links, indicating the necessity for comprehensive planning for new airport regions for greater accessibility and for stimulating development.

Full textAbstract:
U.S. airports face significant congestion problems, particularly in major metropolitan areas with continued population and economic growth. In addition to growth in air travel demand, frequent short-haul flights on routes of less than 500 mi contribute to airport congestion. The potential for high-speed rail (HSR) to substitute for aviation on these short-haul routes is well documented; however, there is a need to explore how rail can serve in a complementary mode to relieve congestion at airports by providing short-haul services in support of longer-haul airline services. The primary objective of this research project is to examine the role of cooperation between HSR and aviation to improve the aviation system planning process. This study addresses the following key questions: (a) How have airports, airlines, and rail operators cooperated to enable airport–HSR connectivity? (b) What are the service characteristics of airport–HSR connectivity? (c) What are the unique challenges associated with airport–HSR connectivity? (d) How has the demand for air transportation evolved in the presence of airport–HSR connectivity?

The airport as flight network node is the starting point and the end of the movement of people/goods. The airport can also be a transit point before continuing the journey to the destination. The closure of the airport due to force majeure such as a disaster or terrorism may disrupt the national air transportation network. The effects of the closure of an airport to the national air transportation network depends on the level of connectivity of the airport. This study aimed to quantify the connectivity between two airports in the national air transportation network. Based on the connectivity data, it can be determined that appropriate mitigation strategies during an airport closure due to force majeure.

Full textAbstract:
Envisioning the airport’s expanding relevance as a hub for passenger movement and its immediate ancillaries and as a focal point for inducing growth that embraces enormous conurbations and associated services, this paper seeks to identify factors likely to impact the regions surrounding the airport, especially from a viewpoint of planning and development. The rationale for focusing on these areas is to determine the impact of change in landside connectivity in an airport region on the hierarchy and interaction of settlements. In order to explore the objective, the application of GIS, as well as statistical analysis, has been undertaken for the selected case study of Bagdogra Airport, West Bengal, India in the North-East region and with geographically challenging terrain. Methodologically, this paper tries to identify changes in the various types of socio-economic and urbanizing factors to find out the impact of change in connectivity on settlement patterns in the region. It is evident from the results that, while visualizing the spatial structure of the factors affected in the airport’s region, the airport can be considered a pivot that induces urbanization and increases the number of amenities in its vicinity. As a result, it is apparent that large airports are transitioning from airport cities to new focus locations in the regions for the development of regional infrastructure that catalyze the phenomenon of urbanization.

Full textAbstract:
Airport development must pay attention to the catchment area of the surrounding airport so that there is no overlap, which leads to airport leakage problems. Airport leakage is a phenomenon where passengers avoid local airports in their area of residence and choose airports outside their territory. The scope of study in this research is West Java Multi-airport, which consists of Kertajati Airport and Husein Sastranegara Airport, as well as Soekarno-Hatta Airport and Halim Perdanakusuma Airport as airports around West Java. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the phenomenon of airport leakage occurred at the Multi-airport of West Java Province. The study findings concluded that the addition of Kertajati Airport in West Java Province improved air connectivity in terms of flight routes but was not accompanied by an increase in the number of passengers. This phenomenon can be attributed to airport leakage, whereby passengers in West Java tend to favor Soekarno-Hatta Airport and Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport. These airports provide more flight options, offering greater time flexibility and enhanced accessibility.

This study investigates the impact of the newly constructed Kediri Airport on air passenger movement patterns in East Java, with a focus on its effect on the existing Juanda and Abdulrachman Saleh Airports. The research addresses the issue of congestion at these primary airports and explores the potential for passenger redistribution with the introduction of a new airport. Using stated preference methods, this study examines how variations in travel costs and time influence passengers’ choices between airports and their shifting patterns. The results indicate that Kediri Airport, due to its improved accessibility and service quality, holds significant potential to divert passenger traffic from Juanda and Abdulrachman Saleh. Projections show that by 2024, Kediri could capture up to 42 % of the passenger traffic currently centered at these primary airports, significantly easing congestion at the main airports. Additionally, the study suggests that the implementation of a Multi-Airport System (MAS) could effectively manage this redistribution, optimizing the use of regional airports and enhancing overall connectivity across East Java. The findings contribute valuable insights into strategic airport network planning and emphasize Kediri’s role in enhancing regional mobility and supporting economic growth. These results are highly relevant for infrastructure planning, where MAS can be leveraged to optimize airport operations and ensure sustainable growth

Full textAbstract:
Delivering high-quality service to passengers can be critical for an airport’s survival, competitiveness, profitability, and long-term growth in a highly competitive environment. The present study aims to examine the relationship between airport service attributes and passenger satisfaction. To this end, we conducted multi-method research consisting of symmetric (multiple regression analysis—MRA) and asymmetric (necessary condition analysis—NCA) approaches. The research data consists of 1463 valid online reviews (n = 1463) of the top 50 busiest airports in Europe retrieved from Skytrax. The MRA was employed to examine the net effect of the eight airport service attributes on passenger satisfaction, while the NCA was used to explore the necessary conditions and level of necessity to achieve passenger satisfaction. Using MRA, the findings reveal that airport staff is the most influential predictor of passenger satisfaction, whereas airport shopping and airport Wi-Fi connectivity do not have a significant effect on passenger satisfaction. Moreover, the NCA results found that six of the eight conditions are necessary to achieve passenger satisfaction at the airport. To complement and comprehend the findings, this study also sheds light on the antecedents underlying airport passenger satisfaction in the post-COVID-19 era using NCA.

Full textAbstract:
Route development programs have become popular with airports worldwide to enhance air connectivity. Enhanced air connectivity of an airport has been found to have a positive and significant impact on the competitiveness and attractiveness of the airport and the regional economy in which the airport is located. However, the drivers behind route development programs and their performance are not always clear; this has been less explored in the literature. In this paper, a dynamic performance management approach is taken to build a modeling framework in which key drivers affecting route development performance and strategic resources affecting key drivers are identified. Route-level planning is used in an empirical study to demonstrate the dynamic mechanism of airport route development initiatives and performance measurements. The proposed framework can not only provide performance monitoring, but also suggest suitable indicators to evaluate the performance for policymakers in future airport route development.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the current transport situation of Arlanda Airport and the two main cities that Arlanda is located between, Stockholm and Uppsala. The purpose of the thesis is to study the efficiency of the different transport alternatives and also to relate it with their current market shares. Besides, in order to do a deeper analysis of Arlanda Airport connectivity some of the busiest airports transport links have been analyzed in terms of availability of different transport alternatives, distance to the city centers and market shares. Because of the high number of cars that currently go to Arlanda, there is a need to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. To this end, a prediction of the demand in ten years has been carried out to see what improvements have to be done to make Arlanda a more environmentally friendly airport. The methodology used in order to forecast the demand has been based on a survey conducted at a single point to regular users of the public transportation system. The improvement of the connectivity of Arlanda Airport via public transport alternatives will not only affect the distribution of the current market shares, but also represents a key strategy for pursuing Arlanda’s leadership in achieving environmental goals.

Thesis: S.M. in Transportation, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2014.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-168).<br>After decades of growth in domestic flights, seats, and available seat-miles, airlines reduced capacity at airports across the United States from 2007-2012 in response to a global economic downturn and high and volatile fuel prices. Despite an economic recovery and more stable fuel prices, airlines continued to keep domestic capacity low relative to historical levels. This strategy, which has been referred to as "capacity discipline," has had widespread implications for the entire U.S. air transportation network. This thesis examines the effects of capacity discipline on service availability, network connectivity, and fares in the U.S. air transportation network, particularly at smaller airports. We find that airlines cut flights at large airports by 8.8% from 2007-2012, as compared to a 21.7% reduction in flights at smaller airports over the same time period. As a result, some smaller airports may be particularly vulnerable to losing all network carrier service. Capacity discipline also changed the mix of carriers that served smaller airports. In many cases, network carriers providing service from smaller airports to connecting hubs were replaced by ultralow- cost carriers providing less-frequent service. We create an airport connectivity index to explore these effects of capacity discipline on airports' connections to the global air transportation network. The index model suggests that smaller airports lost more connectivity than larger airports in multi-airport regions. Finally, we examine changes in airfares as a result of capacity discipline. We find that medium-sized airports saw the largest increases in airfares-11.9% on average-from 2007-2012. Additionally, while the presence of low-cost carriers is still associated with in a decrease in the average one-way fare at an airport, the effects of some LCCs such as Southwest Airlines have diminished over time. Capacity discipline may be an unstable equilibrium when viewed in the game-theoretic context of the "prisoner's dilemma." With lower levels of connectivity and increasing fares, smaller airports in multi-airport regions will need to employ creative strategies to prevent passengers from leaking to primary hubs. Whether these airports can recover from service consolidation will also depend on how long this capacity discipline equilibrium remains in effect among U.S. airlines.<br>by Michael D.

In the past, the Network science of research only know two patterns of connective network of regular and random, However, Watts and Strogatz find the small-world network in 1998, and Barabasi and Alber find the scale-free network in 1999 is change the view of the Network science, it is also bring a new wave of Network science research.
The present research is an exploration into the connectivity characteristics of global city networks organize by airline routes based on the small-world and scale free perspectives. Proof the connectivity characteristics from the three direction of network economic, small-world characteristic and scale free characteristic. We find 1.With the expansion of the network size, the cluster coefficient will decrease quickly, the path length coefficient will increase slowly and the degree coefficient will tend to the scale-free characteristic. 2.If the degree coefficient has the apparent scale-free characteristic, and the network will possess the Pareto principle, which the degree coefficient of top nodes about 20％ will affect the nodes in the network about 80％. 3.In the small-world characteristic, the SWS predominance is more important than the K predominance than the CL predominance, in the scale-free characteristic, the K predominance is more important than the SWS predominance than the CL predominance.
Besides, the present research also exploration the cluster coefficient can be representative the city’s regional potential, the path length coefficient can be representative the cities’ relative central position of the network, and the degree coefficient can be representative the cities’ potential of itself from the point of the individuality, these conception can be useful of provide a aspect on the research about judge the global cities’ potential. And summarized by the empirical data we can see that the global cities’ characteristic seems as if has the lower cluster coefficient, the lower path length coefficient, and the higher degree coefficient.

Grandes impactos na demanda por transporte aéreo como a pandemia COVID-19
tendem a causar efeitos estruturais de longo prazo. A conectividade aérea das regiões Norte
e Nordeste do Brasil é essencial para a integração com o resto do território brasileiro e para
o desenvolvimento econômico. Estas regiões têm os menores PIB per capita do país e altos
níveis de desigualdade. Os aeroportos destas regiões são predominantemente pequenos e
têm baixa conectividade. Pesquisamos o impacto comparativo da pandemia em aeroportos
grandes e pequenos. Para isto, adaptamos o Airport Connectivity Quality Index (ACQI) de
Wittman & Swelbar (2013) e o calculamos para todos os aeroportos brasileiros com base
nas etapas combinadas de rotas domésticas de passageiros no Brasil durante dois períodos:
1) Pré-COVID – 975.270 voos entre Outubro de 2019 e Março de 2020; 2) Durante o COVID
– 549.357 voos entre Outubro de 2020 e Março de 2021. Encontramos maior perda de

operando aeronaves menores em rotas menos densas introduziram novas rotas
intrarregionais com impacto socioeconômico importante. A viabilidade deste modelo de

regions of Brazil is essential for the integration with the rest of the Brazilian territory and
for economic development. These regions have the lowest per capita GDPs in the country
and high levels of income inequality. The regions’ airports are predominantly small and with
low connectivity. In this paper, we research the comparative impact of the pandemic on
large and small airports. To accomplish this, we adapted Wittman & Swelbar's (2013)

combined stages of regular domestic passenger routes in Brazil during two time periods: 1)
Pré-COVID - 975,270 flights between October 2019 - March 2020; and 2) During COVID -
549,357 between October 2020 - March 2021. We found that larger airports, located in
places with higher GDP and population, lost more connectivity quality than smaller airports.
During COVID, in the Northern Region, regional and sub-regional airlines operating
smaller aircraft on less dense routes introduced new regular intra-regional routes with an
important socioeconomic impact. The viability of this business model in the North Region
seems to result from the deficiency of other methods of passenger transport in the region.
In terms of public policy, connectivity in the Northern Region would benefit from incentives
to create regional and sub-regional airlines and from protecting operations from anticompetitive
conduct.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract By the end of 2022, European air passenger numbers had recovered to 78% of 2019 levels. A full recovery to pre-pandemic passenger volumes was expected by the end of 2023, a performance not anticipated by most aviation stakeholders during the crisis. However, capacity issues and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, as economies were emerging from the effects of the pandemic, led to increased levels of uncertainty across aviation and airports. This volatility was further exacerbated by factors such as recruitment/retention challenges, capacity issues in larger airports and the increasing impact of extreme weather events. While smaller European airport volumes recovered more quickly than larger ones, these airports continued to face severe cost and revenue challenges, when they needed to focus on connectivity and repairing balance sheets. Already vital airline relationships and State aid became more critical to the future viability of smaller airports. Aeronautical revenue was increasingly impacted by route deals advantageous to airlines, necessitating a greater airport focus on non-aeronautical revenue. The increasing use of larger airports by low-cost carriers further affected the prospects for sustained regional airport recovery. This paper aims to highlight key influences on European regional airport passenger performance through the uncertain and challenging 2019–2022 period, the impact of increased competition, and future prospects for these airports.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe growing recognition of the importance of addressing disruptive events and climate change has led to an increased focus on resilience in recent decades. This is due to the escalating effects of changing weather patterns, rising temperatures, extreme events, and other challenges associated with climate change. Resilience has emerged as a pivotal concept in various fields, including air transport infrastructure. It has become evident that the ability of systems, communities, and infrastructure to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the negative impacts of climate change is crucial. Resilience provides a crucial framework for developing adaptive strategies and ensuring sustainability in the face of ongoing climate challenges. In the ever-changing world of aviation, air transport infrastructure faces various climate-related challenges that require them to strengthen their infrastructure to maintain connectivity with their surrounding environment and ensure continuous operations.This chapter explores the intricate interrelation between aviation and the obstacles posed by disruptive and climate change, delving deep into the concept that air transport infrastructure must actively manage resilience. From the challenges presented by rising sea levels to the impact of extreme weather events, this chapter will skillfully navigate through the various strategies airports employ to strengthen their systems against the effects of climate change. By thoroughly analyzing case studies, it will shed light on the innovative technological advancements and sustainable practices that are being utilized to mitigate the risks associated with climate change. Furthermore, it will thoroughly consider how these strategies can be tailored to suit the unique characteristics of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This exploration aims to unveil a comprehensive blueprint that will enable airports to confidently take off into a future that is resilient to the challenges of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the service quality of the five busiest airports in Europe, namely Istanbul Airport, London Heathrow Airport, Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, and Madrid Barajas, based on data from Skytrax, which ranks the quality of airlines and airports. These ratings consider a range of criteria, including terminal seating, terminal cleanliness, terminal signs, queuing times, food and beverage, Wi-Fi connectivity, airport shopping, and airport staff. Additionally, overall satisfaction ratings for these services are also included. This study examines the impact of these criteria on overall customer satisfaction using multiple regression analysis. A total of 511 airport ratings collected between January 1, 2019, and May 1, 2024, were used for the analysis, which was conducted using Jamovi. The results show that airport staff and queuing times are the most influential factors on total passenger satisfaction, while terminal cleanliness, terminal signs, and Wi-Fi connectivity do not have a significant impact on customer satisfaction.

Ongoing financial, environmental and political adjustments have shifted the role of large international airports. Many airports are expanding from a narrow concentration on operating as transportation centers to becoming economic hubs. By working together, airports and other industry sectors can contribute to and facilitate not only economic prosperity, but create social advantage for local and regional areas in new ways. This transformation of the function and orientation of airports has been termed the aerotropolis or airport metropolis, where the airport is recognized as an economic centre with land uses that link local and global markets. This chapter contends that the conversion of an airport to a sustainable airport metropolis requires more than just industry clustering and the existence of ‘hard’ physical infrastructure. Attention must also be directed to the creation and on-going development of social infrastructure within proximate areas and the maximization of connectivity flows within and between infrastructure elements. It concludes that the establishment of an interactive and interdependent infrastructure trilogy of hard, soft and social infrastructures provides the necessary balance to the airport metropolis to ensure sustainable development. This chapter provides the start of an operating framework to integrate and harness the infrastructure trilogy to enable the achievement of optimal and sustainable social and economic advantage from airport cities.

By working together, airports and other industry sectors can contribute to and facilitate not only economic prosperity, but create social advantage for local and regional areas in new ways. This transformation of the function and orientation of airports has been termed the aerotropolis or airport metropolis, where the airport is recognized as an economic centre with land uses that link local and global markets. This chapter contends that the conversion of an airport to a sustainable airport metropolis requires more than just industry clustering and the existence of ‘hard’ physical infrastructure. Attention must also be directed to the creation and on-going development of social infrastructure within proximate areas and the maximization of connectivity flows within and between infrastructure elements. It concludes that the establishment of an interactive and interdependent infrastructure trilogy of hard, soft and social infrastructures provides the necessary balance to the airport metropolis to ensure sustainable development. This chapter provides the start of an operating framework to integrate and harness the infrastructure trilogy to enable the achievement of optimal and sustainable social and economic advantage from airport cities.

Full textAbstract:
International tourism arrivals by air account for almost 60% of all tourism arrivals. Despite the spectacular increase in air connectivity there are distinct differences between connectivity types, with direct and indirect connectivity, airport connectivity and hub connectivity. Tourism destinations are impacted by the air connectivity type that is available in their nearby or serving airport. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the tourism dynamics resulting from the emerging transformations in air connectivity, and the implications on international air travel. Increased air connectivity is linked to economic growth and development, however direct air connectivity has been driving both tourism and air transport industries. The introduction of new aircraft which can fly longer and more economically is likely to transform direct connectivity and hub connectivity at the same time. Airline business models have evolved over the last 20 years and it is highly likely that this transformation will continue to unfold since the market and the passengers’ needs are constantly evolving. Implications for airlines and destinations will be discussed, outlining the trends which are dominating the industry in terms of connectivity and its relation to tourism destinations.

<p>The Sydney Gateway connects the Sydney Motorway Network to Sydney Airport and Port Botany via the St Peters Interchange. This toll-free infrastructure project enhances connectivity and reduces commute times, featuring a new above-ground link to the International and Domestic Terminals. Among its 19 bridges, the twin network arch bridges on Airport Drive span the Alexandra Canal, serving as key landmarks. Each 100-meter-long bridge accommodates four lanes and was launched to address site constraints. Their network arch design optimizes material use, creating a lightweight yet strong structure that integrates smoothly with existing roads while ensuring flood clearance. Situated near roads, pedestrian paths, air traffic routes, and waterways, their construction required careful planning. This paper examines their key features, and the engineering solutions developed to address design and construction challenges.</p>

Electro.Aero has been supporting the emerging electric aviation industry for nearly a decade, including the development of chargers, electrical management systems, battery management systems and electric propulsion systems to numerous electric aircraft development projects. During that time, it was identified that the industry needed standardization, especially regarding the charging coupler, so the SAE AE-7D committee was founded by Joshua Portlock in 2018 to help standardize electric aircraft charging and energy management. While the charging coupler standard was proving to be of high priority to the industry, there has also been a noticeable trend that typical airport hangars do not have sufficient electrical power to charge the growing power demands of future electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Therefore, SmartHangar technology was developed, whereby the limited grid connectivity is supplemented by solar and stationary battery energy storage systems to help deliver the peak power demands of electric aviation charging, whilst also helping airports and vertiports transition to more self-sufficient sustainable energy.

Full textAbstract:
In order to conduct rail operations safely and securely, operators need reliable train connectivity. With the advent of Intelligent Transport Systems, there are increased demands from this connectivity. This paper introduces the capabilities of 3GPP standard radio technology to meet the railway operator’s connectivity needs using a unified radio infrastructure. 3GPP is the 3rd Generation Partnership Project and provides the standards known to the public as 3G or 4G mobile telecommunications provided by the cellular phone operators. Recent developments in 3GPP standards make the technology suitable for use in both urban and mainline rail environments based on a private 4G LTE network owned and operated by the railroad agency. Since the 3GPP standard equipment ecosystem is shared by mobile operators, public safety agencies, utilities, and airports, the equipment cost is reduced compared to proprietary wireless techniques due to economies of scale. Using a dedicated radio network, all rail applications requiring wireless connectivity can traverse over a single radio infrastructure. These rail applications include: CCTV real time passenger surveillance, mission critical push-to-talk voice, train control signalling (CBTC, ETCS or PTC), train telemetry, including real-time condition-based monitoring and passenger information systems. Using Quality of Service prioritization and pre-emption inherent to the LTE radio system, the mission critical railway applications always receive priority over non-mission critical functions. The FCC has recently announced the availability of the 3.5 GHz band to the public based on spectrum sharing. Spectrum sharing could be an acceptable option for railway application, provided it was given priority for mission critical functions. Current advances in LTE radio, notably Massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antenna arrays, can provide coverage in 3.5 GHz band to a distance of over 1400 yards — which is less than the typical distance between stations. this transit agency dedicated network. Alternately sharing spectrum with Firstnet 700 MHz band should be explored.

Full textAbstract:
The continued growth of air travel calls for the incessant construction effort at many airports and their surroundings. Thus, there is a need to determine how airports can better manage existing infrastructure to accommodate this growth. This study, therefore, focuses on (1) investigating how changes in transportation infrastructure have affected travel time reliability (TTR) of the surrounding road network within the airport vicinity over time, and, (2) exploring selected unconventional intersection designs and proposing new inbound/outbound access routes from the nearby major roads to the airport. The efficiency of road networks that surrounds large airports is discussed using Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) as the case study. Firstly, an assessment of how transportation projects impact link-level travel time reliability (TTR) was performed using historical data. Secondly, an assessment of how future transportation projects would affect the traffic in the airport vicinity was performed. A simulation network was developed using the Vissim software, where the peak-hour turning movement counts were used with the existing signal design to replicate and calibrate the base scenario. Unconventional intersection designs such as continuous flow intersections (CFI), mini-roundabouts, and restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) intersections were considered along with selected bridge design options to determine the impact on TTR. The results were compared with the conventional signalized intersection design. The connectivity projects led to an increase in TTR measures at most of the links within its vicinity after the project’s completion of the project. Similarly, parking areas exhibited the same characteristics, including those used by ridesharing companies. The simulation model showed that unconventional designs like RCUT and direct entry-exit ramps effectively reduced delay as well as the number of stops, increasing our understanding of how expansion projects affect TTR and potentially improving infrastructure optimization.

Full textAbstract:
The air transport sector is important in facilitating economic growth and development. In a country made up of more than 7,000 islands, air transportation serves as the fastest mode of connectivity within the country and the rest of the world. The direct impact of the air transport sector on the Philippine gross domestic product may appear small at 0.61 percent in 2019, but its enabling role for high-value industries such as trade, manufacturing, and tourism justifies the need to prioritize this sector. Having sufficient, well-functioning, and efficient air transport infrastructure is necessary to ensure maximum benefits to the economy. However, the country’s air transport infrastructure suffers from capacity and technical capability constraints. While the government recognizes the need to improve the country’s air transport infrastructure by providing new airports and improving existing facilities and technical capabilities, time is crucial, and huge investments are needed to catch up with the burgeoning demand for air travel.
