Airports have traditionally been considered as public utility providers, with little potential to develop significant market opportunities. Liberalisation of the air transport around globe has introduced new dynamics into airport industry. The emergence competition and transition in ownership (towards privatisation or commercialisation) demand a different perspective management. This paper aims at explaining complexity business, particular what concerns role firm that operates network...

The liberalisation of the European air transport market has introduced new dynamics in airport industry. In recent decades, airports evolved from infrastructure providers a monopolistic context, to commercially orientated enterprises competitive environment. Current studies strategic management lack comprehensive perspective that enables operators best identify opportunities created by such dynamics. This paper analyses an as multi-service firm interacts with network stakeholders – business...

High-speed rail (HSR) has emerged as a significant mode for intercity transport in several countries, particularly China, setting an environment that may promote integration between air and HSR networks. To better measure the current level of China's air-HSR intermodal network identify implementation issues, this paper establishes novel assessment framework considers three primary areas: service capability, connectivity transfer potential. The is based on comprehensive literature review...

To avoid both over-design and under-sizing of airport passenger terminal facilities such as security checkpoints, the infrastructure is designed for a specifically determined design load. As such, load considered short period time, usually an hour operation, during which peak, though not necessarily maximum, demand occurs. For strategic planning applications, future loads can be by either fictitious flight schedules or ratio-based models forecast relationship between annual demand. This...

Efficient and functional public transport systems are essential to mitigate the effects of congestion pollution in world cities. Many cities Latin America feature operated by small private companies loosely regulated transit authorities with limited technical resources. In this context, both operators regulators neglect user information as an important component system. This paper describes experience developing system for Ibague, emerging city 650 000 inhabitants central Colombia. The...

Current developments in collaborative decision-making the air transport context are restricted to airport and traffic management operations stakeholders, disregarding relevance of access egress door-to-door journey for passengers. This paper summarises IMHOTEP (Integrated Multimodal Airport Operations Efficient Passenger Flow Management) concept operations, which extends Collaborative Decision-Making implementations by incorporating surface access. Enhanced situational awareness achieved...

As the airport of future is expected to become a multimodal connection platform, one main challenges create conditions for travelers reach their destination by most efficient and sustainable combination modes. This will, furthermore, allow its surrounding region make better use resources. In this context, H2020-SESAR-2019-2 funded project IMHOTEP, aims at developing concept operations set data analysis methods, predictive models decision support tools that information sharing, common...

Facility requirements determine how and when the capacity of airport passenger terminal facilities is adjusted over time to meet expected demand. Given high levels uncertainty inherent in long-term planning, under provision a recurrent risk, as conventional strategic planning methods fail adapt dynamically changing circumstances. This paper introduces novel flexible expansion model for terminals that considers simultaneously real options ‘on’ ‘in’ systems. The validated check-in at Zurich...

The air transport industry in Saudi Arabia is experiencing rapid growth of late, fuelled large part by the Kingdom's Vision 2030 aspirations and national development plan. This ambitious vision seeks to diversify economy, process, develop expand a wide range public sectors. Central these plans transport, including not only building new airports related infrastructure, along with expanding wider travel hospitality sectors, but also launch network airline 2025 – Riyadh Air. will join current...

The two biggest airlines in Taiwan – China Airlines and EVA Air face a wide range of similar strategic opportunities challenges, while also pursuing considerably different priorities some key areas. This paper conducts comparative analysis these by considering the success factors (KSFs) fleet mix size, international partnerships cooperation, network scope global reach, brand awareness loyalty. Despite geopolitical restrictions, both carriers have developed sizable fleets, networks with...
