AIRPORT CHOICE AND COMPETITION - A STRATEGIC APPROACH

After discussing some background information of the aviation sector, a strategic approach for the management of airports is shown, which can be embedded in the decision making process. Two modeling issues are highlighted; one concerns the non-linearity of consumer behavior which touches a major principle in modelling including the airport choice, and the other deals with competition in the aviation sector focusing on the possibility of measuring it so that a quantification is possible. The applied system approach ensures that effects based on the synergy of air networks, the competition among alternatives and between air and the land based modes as well as the co-operation of modes are taken into account in the simulation process.
