EUROPEAN AND U.S. AIRPORTS PUSH FOR BETTER GROUND ACCESS

In both Europe and the U.S., the problem of improving the quality of ground access to airports is receiving policy attention at the highest level. Recent research conducted for the Federal Aviation Administration suggests that when comparing travel behavior between the two continents, the nature of demand for ground services is similar, and the nature of consumer behavior is similar; but the nature of the ground transportation systems into which the airport has to be integrated are markedly different. Yet, improved intermodal connections for passengers in advanced airports like De Gaulle in Paris and San Francisco International show how the airport congestion is being tackled on both sides of the Atlantic.
