The Role of Schedule Delays on Passengers’ Choice of Access Modes: a Case Study of Japan’s International Hub Airports

The authors empirically study passenger modal-choice behavior to access an international hub airport, by using stated preference (SP) data and by constructing a binomial logit model. They find that passenger modal choice is affected by the service level of the access modes: travel time, travel cost, waiting time, and delay cost. The results also indicate that if passengers choose the access mode in advance, they consider service frequency: departure timing from home, and the arrival timing at the airport. Moreover, the authors’ results indicate that travelers’ willingness to pay for saving time differs by time of a day; they are apt to pay more in the morning than in the afternoon. These outcomes must contribute to improve the access flight service from local to hub airports, to handle the needs of passengers.
