    Effects of Regional Airports in the Air Transport System : The Case of Switzerland
    (ARTS Air Transport Research Society, 2010-07-06) ;
    Weinert, Robert
    This paper deals with intangible economic effects of Swiss regional airports (Altenrhein, Bern, Grenchen, Sion, Lugano, Samedan) on the air transport system of Switzerland. The focus lies on network, structure and competence effects. These are evaluated qualitatively from different perspectives. Furthermore, a quantitative survey with companies across industries was conducted in the different regions of the airports. The importance of the airports for these companies was identified. Competence effects are found in the fields of pilots education, aviation leisure activities and the technological competence on and near regional airports. Structural effects appear through the accessibility of regions, the possibility of relief of national airports especially by the business aviation and some charter movements, medical supply of air rescue services and the infrastructure for aviation education and air sports. Furthermore, a network analysis of the airports' business partners shows the connectedness of the regional airports nationwide. The results reveal that regional airports do have a relevant function in the Swiss air transport system. Regional airports do not stand in direct competition with each other, but rather complement each other to the benefit of the national air transport system. The network decentrally developed over time and exists without a central control. The network which is activated through the regional airports is not sufficiently used and recognised by the players

    Intangible regional effects of regional airports : A system analysis at the example of Switzerland
    (Henry Stewart Publications, 2011-07) ;
    The operation of airports induces various external effects. In the public discussion the evaluation of external economic effects is an important factor for the legitimation of airport infrastructures. Whereas the economic effects of main airports is widely researched and monetary (e.g. revenues, job creation) as well as nonmonetary catalytic (e.g. structural, competence and network effects) are identified, the nonmonetary catalytic effects of regional airports are not yet broadly documented. Since airports direct monetary effects are often quite weak the intangible and nonmonetary catalytic effects have an important role. This article delivers an analytical framework for the intangible and nonmonetary catalytic economic regional effects of small airports. It provides a classification of such effects and involves system analyses as a method to analyse such effects. It is a case study of Swiss regional airports Altenrhein, Bern, Sion, Lugano and Samedan
