摘要

基于2016年的全球官方航空指南(Official Aviation Guide, 简称OAG)计划航班数据,本文重点分析了全球多机场区域的空间格局和主要类型。研究发现:除美国和欧洲的英、法、德、意等国外,中国、日本、泰国和巴西等国的多机场区域数量占有绝对优势。南欧、澳大利亚和新西兰、西亚等地的多机场区域内的机场等级呈现两端极化,缺少中间层级的辅助机场。以车程时间作为衡量,英、美两国多机场区域内机场布局更为紧凑,特别是英国其他主要机场或辅助机场到达核心机场的时间相对中国减少了约0.5~1 h。根据各多机场区域赫芬达尔—赫希曼指数(HHI指数)和可售座位数对比结果,多机场区域可分为9个类型,对照多机场区域不同的演化阶段,目前共有22个多机场区域发展较成熟。未来在保证多机场区域整体发展的前提下,中国应注重其他重要机场向中间层级的辅助机场的转化进程,提高区域内地面交通水平,以减少机场间的到达时间,引导区域内机场维持高水平竞争。

Abstract

This article employs the OAG (Official Airline Guide) flight schedule data of 2016 to analyze the spatial pattern and classification of multi-airport regions. The results indicate that: besides European countries and the United States, China, Japan, Thailand, and Brazil occupies important positions in the construction of multi-airport regions in the world. Multi-airport regions in Southern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and West Asia are polarized and lack of secondary airports. The layout of airports in the multi-airport regions of the UK and the United States are more compacted, and people can spend 0.5~1 hour less when driving from the British other primary or secondary airports to the core airport compared with China. Multi-airport regions can be divided into nine categories according to available seats and the Herfindahl-Hirschman indexes (HHI), corresponding to different evolution stages of multi-airport regions. Globally, 22 multi-airport regions have developed into a relatively mature stage. In the future, under the premise of ensuring the overall development of multi-airport regions, China should pay attention to the transformation process of other important airports to secondary airports, improve the ground traffic level in the regions to reduce the access time between airports, and guide a high level competition between airports.

1 引言

自2015年中国发布了“推动共建丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路(简称‘一带一路’)的愿景与行动”以来,中国社会经济全球化步入了新格局,由此所带来的区域间客货流动尤其是航空运输需求的增长使得全球城市区域和多机场区域(Multi-Airport Area, MAR)的联动式发展成为中国“一带一路”对外开放时代下的显著特征(朱英明, 2003; Fuellhart et al, 2013; 蒋永雷等, 2013; Brueckner et al, 2014; 王姣娥等, 2015)。方便快捷的航空运输可以加速打破区域间的内部隔阂,让中国各大城市更全面、更深入地融入全球产业分工,同时城市区域的发展必然会增加该区域的交通运输需求,所带来的机场设施建设或规模扩张也使得相邻机场间的相互依赖性和制约性越来越强。因此,研究全球多机场区域的空间格局对促进中国多机场区域和全球城市区域的建设和发展,支撑中国“一带一路”愿景的实施具有重要意义。

目前对多机场区域的研究主要集中在两方面:一方面探讨多机场区域内不同因素对旅客选择机场的影响,并衍生出对机场客源范围、市场份额等主题的研究。如Vowles(2001)以价格对多机场区域航空服务的影响为基础,研究发现低成本航空入驻多机场区域会降低整个区域中的机场价格并吸引更大规模的客流。Pels等(2001, 2003)Hess等(2005, 2006a, 2006b)结合同一区域内机场之间和航空企业之间的竞争,具体分析机场特征、航班特征等因素对多机场区域内旅客机场选择行为的影响。另一方面,随着民航运输网络结构日益复杂,学者们通过对航线网络结构的分析来探讨多机场区域对航线网络的影响。如Bonnefoy等(2008)研究发现,相比于单一机场为节点所形成的航空网络,以多机场区域为节点的航班加权网络整体遵循单幂律分布,说明多机场区域是航空运输系统能够在容量受限节点上扩展的关键。O'Connor等(2016)在总结Matisziw(2010)Redondi等(2013)研究的基础上,发现单一枢纽机场并不等同于其所在的多机场区域的航空市场发展,而多机场区域会大幅度强化所在大都市区的航空市场,甚至对城镇等级体系和全球航空客流分布产生影响(Derudder et al, 2010; Takebayashi, 2012)。

相较而言,国内有关多机场区域的研究仍旧处于发展初期。主要通过案例研究总结国外多机场区域建设的先进经验和发展模式,并在此基础上对国内多机场区域的发展提出需优化机场资源、区域地面交通网络,建立协调机制等相关建议(张宁, 2007; 张越等, 2007; 陈团生, 2008; 陈兆鹏, 2012; 赵民合, 2013; 屈云茜, 2014; 张莉等, 2015)。另有交通工程类学者采用数量分析方法,以多机场区域内的居民航空出行选择为切入点研究航空客流需求分布、多机场区域内部市场竞争和机场选址等问题,或通过仿真模拟优化多机场区域内部航线及航班时刻资源,意在降低多机场区域的航班延误,提高多机场区域容量(曹学明等, 2010; 胡一竑等, 2011; 周慧艳, 2011; 夏洪山, 2012; 赵闯, 2012)。

尽管学者们在多机场区域形成和发展的理论基础建设中已取得一定成就,已发现多机场区域的发展过程中存在机场分工的问题,且在其发展过程中需对各机场的功能定位进行协调,但均停留在以定性分析为基础的层面上,缺乏对多机场区域总体发展特征的系统定量化研究。本文在对多机场区域空间识别的基础上,从全球各地区多机场区域的数量、机场等级、区域内机场分布距离等方面进行分析,揭示全球多机场区域空间格局。同时通过对多机场区域规模和内部机场竞争强度的测算,划分不同类型的多机场区域。

2 研究区域与方法

2.1 研究范围与数据

本文的研究范围为全球5大洲(除南极洲),包括北非、撒哈拉以南非洲、拉丁美洲和加勒比、北美、中亚、东亚、东南亚等全球17个次区域,248个国家和地区(图1)。航空数据来源于OAG(Official Aviation Guide),包括近900家全球主要航空公司、4103个民用机场的2016年计划航班数据。

图1   研究区域与机场分布

2.2 研究方法

本文通过合理服务半径和可售座位数占比分别划定多机场区域范围,筛选和划分内部机场,并通过对区域内各机场赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数(Herfindahl-Hirschman Indexes,简称HHI)的测算具体识别多机场区域类型。

(1) 多机场区域空间范围划定

从多机场区域形成和发展来看,单一机场可视为多机场区域的特殊形态(Bonnefoy et al, 2008),对多机场区域空间范围的划定可转化为核心机场航空运输有效服务区的界定。而对机场航空运输服务范围的界定中,不同地区的机场服务范围划定标准不一。在中国,机场周边1.5 h出行时间所覆盖的面积被民用航空局认定为可享有有效航空运输服务的范围(徐涛等, 2008)。欧盟委员会认为距离机场100 km或1 h车程时间为其最小服务范围,美国联邦航空管理局将80~120 km作为航空服务有效覆盖范围,而英国民航总局研究认为英国机场有效覆盖范围应超过2 h车程时间(Humphreys et al, 2002; Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, 2007; European Commission, 2013)。虽然2 h是一个合理的限制,但无论是在交通基础设施较差的偏远地区,还是在不断发展和扩大的全球城市区域,旅客受到航空基础设施条件的限制或低价格、低延误、高质量的登机服务等因素吸引,选择距离较远的机场出行的情况时常发生,机场服务范围实际上远超过2 h车程时间,对应机场市场份额满足距离衰减定律,但大型机场在2~3 h时间圈中的市场份额占比仍旧明显(Dresner et al, 1996; Lieshout et al, 2016; Sun et al, 2017)。因此,为更精确地对多机场区域进行识别,同时考虑航空自由化引导下航空服务范围的扩大化,本文以3 h车程时间来识别多机场区域的空间范围。

选取2016年OAG的计划航班信息中年可售座位数大于60万的机场作为全球航空市场提供民用航空服务的重要机场(O'Connor et al, 2016)。在此基础上,按机场可售座位数大小降序排列所有机场,依次将排名靠前的机场作为O点,同时将排在此机场之后的所有剩余机场作为D点,依次进行循环计算。例如,首次计算中将年可售座位数量最大的机场作为O点,位列其后且可售座位数量大于60万的剩余899个机场均作为D点,在第二次计算中将年可售座位数量位列第二的机场作为O点,剩余898个机场则作为D点。通过Python2.7.13编程,并调用OpenStreet API查询OD机场之间的车程时间,一旦识别到两个机场之间的车程时间低于3 h,则将这两个机场纳入为同一个多机场区域。在此序列中,所有机场均仅归并一次,不再重复分配。

(2) 机场等级体系识别

为具体划分各多机场区域内部机场等级,构建科学的等级体系,本文分别计算区域内各机场可售座位数的占比,并以此作为识别主要机场(primary airports)、辅助机场(secondary airports)的依据。

PSij=Sijj=1nSij(1)

式中: PSij为2016年多机场区域i中机场j的可售座位数所占比例, Sij为多机场区域i中机场j的可售座位数, n为该多机场区域i内的机场总数。其中,主要机场的可售座位数占比大于或等于20%,同时占比最高的机场为核心机场。辅助机场可售座位数占比则为1%~20%之间,剩余可售座位数占比低于1%机场为其他重要机场,以上所有类别的机场的可售座位数均需大于60万个/年。

(3) 多机场区域类型划分

为具体分析各多机场区域内的机场竞争,区分多机场区域的不同类型,本文引入产业经济学中赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数(HHI),用它来反映多机场区域内客运市场集中度和机场间竞争强度:

HHIi=jnSijSi2(2)

式中: Si为多机场区域i的可售座位数, 0<HHIi<1, HHIi越大,表示多机场区域i的客运市场集中度越高,机场间的竞争程度越低,反之则说明机场竞争程度越高。

3 全球多机场区域空间格局

3.1 数量分布特征

全球共有170个多机场区域,涉及479个重要机场,提供全球约70%的可售座位。从数量上来看,除北美、南亚分别拥有35个和29个多机场区域外,拉丁美洲和加勒比、西欧、南欧、东亚、西亚、东南亚均有超过10个以上多机场区域(图2图3)。但从多机场区域整体航空运输来看,客运市场重心仍旧集中在北美、西欧、南亚等3个次区域,2016年对应提供12亿个、3.8亿个和6.2亿个可售座位,三者占比分别为34.7%、11.2%和18.1%。

图3   2016年多机场区域数量和可售座位比重

Fig.3   The number of multi-airport regions (MARs) in the world and available seats percentages, 2016

从各国多机场区域的发展建设来看,除美、英、法、德、意等传统意义上的民航大国之外,亚洲的中国、日本、泰国和非洲的巴西等国均在多机场区域航空运输市场中占有重要的地位,其中位列前茅的美国和中国的首位优势明显(表1)。从多机场区域和可售座位数量来看,美国和中国分别拥有多机场区域32个和20个,对应年可提供年可售座位数量11.2亿个和6.13亿,分别占全球多机场区域可售座位数量的29.74%和16.28%,全球半数以上的多机场区域形成于这两个国家。尽管如此,从各国多机场区域内平均机场数量来看,中美两国多机场区域平均由3个机场构成,但英国、德国等欧洲国家的多机场区域平均机场数量分别为6个、4个。同时,相比于英国、德国和阿拉伯联合酋长国,中美两国多机场区域平均可售座位数量均位居其后,这也在一定程度上说明虽然中美在基于国土、人口和经济等方面建立了整体的多机场区域发展优势,但各多机场区域间不均衡发展明显,处于起步阶段的小规模多机场区域较多。这类小规模多机场区域整体客运市场水平较低,核心机场所产生的客流“阴影”效应明显,内部机场之间缺乏有效竞争,特别是在年均可售座位量仅为0.14亿个的29个跨界多机场区域中。但不容忽视的是,20世纪70年代后全球航空自由化的推行下,例如美国-加拿大天空开发合约、欧洲国家间的《申根合约》、圣地亚哥-蒂华纳双边机场客运大楼(Cross Border Xpress)等领空开发协议和机场快速通关口岸的出现缩减了旅客通过陆路通关时长,同时受到航班班次、价格、直飞航线、飞行时间等因素的影响,进一步提高了同一服务范围内的旅客选择其他国家机场出行的可能性,不仅成为这种小规模多机场区域发展契机,也从航空旅客的角度展示了“真实”的跨境一体化(Elwakil et al, 2013; Paliska et al, 2016)。

3.2 机场等级体系特征

对比多机场区域内各等级机场发展,主要机场平均规模远大于辅助机场。全球170个多机场区域中共有285个主要机场,185个辅助机场。其中,主要机场、辅助机场分别提供了31.9亿个和5.6亿个可售座位数,对应占全球多机场区域可售座位总数的84.9%、14.9%(图4)。除西欧的主要机场和辅助机场可售座位比值最小,仅为1.3之外,北非、撒哈拉以南非洲、南欧、西亚、东南亚、澳大利亚和新西兰等6个次区域中的主要机场和辅助机场可售座位比值均大于10(图5)。

图5   各次区域主要机场和辅助机场的指标数值比

Fig.5   Ratios of the indices of primary and secondary airports in different regions of the world

各次区域之间的主要机场和辅助机场数量比差异较大,南欧、澳大利亚和新西兰、西亚等次区域均缺少中间层级的辅助机场。全球多机场区域主要机场和辅助机场的数量比为1:1.5,其中南欧、西亚、澳大利亚和新西兰等6个次区域的主、辅机场间数量比值较大(≥3),东欧、拉丁美洲和加勒比次之(1.5~3),北美、北欧、西欧、东亚、南亚主要机场和辅助机场数量比值低于平均比值(<1.5)。

对比各多机场区域内机场数量及其等级体系,根据主要机场与非主要机场之间相互作用的主要方式,将多机场区域发展模式分为枢纽式和集群式两种,进一步细分为“一主多辅”“一主两辅”“一主一辅”和“双核”“多核”等5种模式(王姣娥等, 2008; 屈云茜, 2014)。在2016年多机场区域可售座位数排名前10的国家中,除德国外,其他各国集群式多机场区域数量占比均不低于50%,其中以2个主要机场协同多个辅助机场的“双核”发展模式最为突出(表2)。在枢纽式多机场区域中,英国以伦敦希思罗机场为核心,伦敦卢顿机场、伯明翰机场、曼彻斯特国际机场等8大机场为辅助,形成了最为复杂的伦敦多机场区域。虽然伦敦多机场区域的非主要机场数量是主要机场数的10倍,但其所提供的可售座位数不到伦敦希思罗机场2倍,主要机场的首位优势明显。在集群式多机场区域中,除德国、法国外,各国主要机场不仅仅在数量上与非主要机场达到均衡,对应可售座位数占比超过90%。

3.3 机场间距离分布特征

对比各多机场区域内机场间距离,全球多机场区域中的其他主要机场、辅助机场距离核心机场的直线距离分别以150 km和200 km为最大极限,对应平均车程时间均为2 h左右。以0.5 h等时圈分析主要机场、辅助机场的数量可知(图6),仅22个其他主要机场布局在邻近核心机场1 h车程内,占比19.1%,另有超过3倍的其他主要机场布局在距离核心机场2~3 h的车程范围。同时,近70%的辅助机场整体倾向于布局在距离核心机场1.5~3 h车程范围。由此说明除了在空港基础设施较为完备的欧美,全球大部分多机场区域内其他重要机场距离核心机场的车程大于1.5 h。同时,若以核心机场的辐射半径来划定多机场区域,综合全球各地区地面交通水平,核心机场的辐射半径设定为200 km左右较为合理。

图6   多机场区域其他主要机场(辅助机场)与核心机场的距离分析

Fig.6   Distance between other primary (secondary) airports and core airports in multi-airport regions (MARs)

从国家尺度看,中国多机场区域布局模式与美国更为相似。中国多机场区域中其他主要机场、辅助机场距离核心机场的平均车程时间为2.1 h,美国对应的平均车程时间分别为1.9 h、1.8 h,而英国对应的平均车程时间仅为1.1 h、1.6 h(图7)。究其原因,可能得益于战后保留的机场设施和道路交通网络的建设,英美两国多机场区域内机场布局相对紧凑,特别是英国多机场区域内其他主要机场、辅助机场到达核心机场的时间相比中国减少约0.5~1 h。

4 全球多机场区域类型划分

对比各多机场区域指数与可售座位数,分别 基于HHI指数、可售座位数的1/3阈值,可将整个 多机场区域划分为9个类型(表3)(Hansen et al, 1995)。

新窗口打开

图8显示大部分多机场区域集中在“低—中”、“低—高”两个类型,占多机场区域数量的85.3%,这些多机场区域表现为小型客运规模下的中低水平竞争。整个多机场区域的客运市场仍旧表现为由单一核心机场或1~2个主要机场占据绝对优势,对应于多机场区域的5个演化阶段中的Ⅱ或Ⅲ阶段(Bonnefoy et al, 2008)。说明部分区域内虽然已经出现辅助机场或其他重要机场,但这些机场并没有成长为可与核心机场相抗衡的主要机场。因此,整个多机场区域的航空市场服务仍旧呈现出核心—边缘的状态,这也是受到当地较低的航空需求水平的影响。同样,随着地区对外航空 联系和航空需求水平的提高,借助于已有的空港 设施条件,这些中低水平的多机场区域能得到快速发展。

图8   多机场区域HHI指数与可售座位数对比分析

Fig.8   Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) and the number of available seats of multi-airport regions (MARs)

表4列出了全球170个多机场区域的划分结果,可售座位数量级别在中级以上的“中—低”、“中—中”、“中—高”、“高—低”、“高—中”、“高—高”6个类型中,除亚特兰大(Atlanta)多机场区域外,剩余的22个多机场区域中达拉斯-沃思堡(Dallas-Fort Worth)多机场区域、夏洛特-罗利-达勒姆(Charlotte-Raleigh-Durham)多机场区域、雅加达(Jakarta)多机场区域、北京(Beijing)多机场区域等4个多机场区域的HHI指数均不超过0.75,其余的均低于0.6。说明这些多机场区域不仅仅客运市场规模达到较高水平,区域内的非核心机场也在一定程度上能和核心机场进行竞争,可将其视为发展较成熟的多机场区域。这也从侧面证明随着全球各地区航空需求的增加,原有的单一机场航空服务模式将逐渐转化为由多个机场所组成的区域型航空服务模式,这也是推动全球航空服务可持续发展的着力点,而已经形成的多机场区域内部终将通过竞争与协调达到较高水平的动态均衡(Fasone et al, 2012)。

新窗口打开

这种较高水平动态平衡的形成离不开非核心机场的发展,特别是辅助机场竞争力的提升(Lancaster et al, 2004; Zietsman et al, 2014)。而航空运输市场需求则是决定非核心机场发展的主要因素,与社会经济诸要素有着密切的联系。对比IAIA(International Air Transport Association)中国际大都市区(Metropolitan Area)名单,22个发展较为成熟的多机场区域均拥有至少一个国际大都市区作为腹地,在这些国际大都市区足够的人口和国民经济收入下能够保证除核心机场外其他非核心机场旅客客流的生成。如图9所示,这些多机场区域所包含的82个非核心机场中约有80%的机场原属军用机场,其中61个建于二战结束前,战后遗留的机场设施为多机场区域形成提供了基础,节约了机场设施建设的成本。在环境、资金、土地等各方面因素的制约下,建设成本的减少为非核心机场的快速发展提供了便利。其次,从航空运输主体来看,这些非核心机场中近半数机场的低成本航空公司所提供的可售座位数量所占比重超过50%。航空公司作为航空运输系统的主体,决定了各机场航空运输服务的提供。低成本航空公司入驻所带来的价格优势提高了非核心机场对选择核心机场出行的旅客吸引力,特别是以休闲旅游为出行目的的中低收入旅客,进一步挖掘了客运服务市场的潜在需求,为其他非核心机场的发展提供了动力。虽然各多机场区域内部机场的对外通航市场仍旧以其所属区域为主,但相比于非核心机场,特别是其他重要机场的高比重的单一次区域航空运输服务,核心机场倾向于低比重的多区域服务。核心机场扩大化的航空服务市场,会为其他非核心机场的差异化、专一化市场服务提供空间,使得区内机场之间合理分工和优势互补成为可能。

5 结论与讨论

本文采用2016年OAG的计划航班数据,重点分析了全球多机场区域的空间格局,并根据HHI指数和可售座位数对多机场区域进行类型划分,由此总结归纳发展较为成熟的多机场区域的内在特征,探讨如何促进非核心机场的快速成长,进而达到区域内机场间的高水平竞争。研究结果表明:

(1) 基于3 h车程时间识别下,全球共有170个多机场区域,涉及479个重要机场,主要分布在北美、南亚。除民航超级大国美国及传统意义上民航较为发达的欧洲国家如英、法、德、意等之外,亚洲的中国、日本、泰国、南美洲的巴西等国均占有重要的地位。中美两国分别拥有多机场区域20个和32个,对应提供年可售座位量11.2亿个和6.13亿个,远超位居世界第3位的英国。

(2) 从机场等级体系来看,各次区域之间的主要机场和辅助机场数量比差异较大,主要机场平均规模远大于辅助机场。全球170个多机场区域中共有285个主要机场,185个辅助机场,对应占全球多机场区域可售座位总数的84.9%、14.9%。从主要机场和辅助机场的数量比来看,全球多机场区域两者的平均比例为1:1.5,南欧、澳大利亚和新西兰、西亚等次区域主要机场和辅助机场数量比值最大(≥3),缺少中间层级的辅助机场。

(3) 得益于战后保留的机场设施和道路交通的快速发展,英美两国多机场区域内机场布局相对紧凑,特别是英国多机场区域内其他主要机场、辅助机场到达核心机场的时间相对中国减少了约0.5~1 h。

(4) 在根据HHI指数和可售座位数对比结果所划分的9个类型中,全球多机场区域集中表现为“低—中”、“低—高”、“中—中”、“高—低”4个类型。同时,对比Bonnefoy等(2008)所提出的多机场区域演化阶段,目前共有22个多机场区域发展较成熟。这些成熟化的多机场区域均离不开非核心机场的发展,而庞大的客源市场、可利用的机场基础设施、低成本航空公司的入驻和核心机场扩大化的航空服务市场是催化非核心机场快速发展的重要因素。

与以de Neufville(1984, 1995)Bonnefoy等(2008)O'Connor等(2016)为代表的学者对全球多机场区域识别的研究成果相比,本文在对多机场区域空间范围界定过程中综合考虑了不同国家或地区的社会经济发展和交通基础设施水平,更具普遍性。同时通过对发展较成熟的多机场区域分析,对非核心机场发展的影响因素进行了探讨,然而由于难以获取多机场区域每个发展阶段的数据,本文未能对多机场区域出现、形成和发展的影响因素进行系统研究,虽然基于HHI指数对各多机场区域内的机场竞争强度进行了初步分析,尚不能表现多机场区域内各机场间的竞争和合作关系。未来研究中可从航空市场重叠、各机场间的价格影响等方面来深入探讨多机场区域间或区域内各机场间的关系和相互影响。与此同时,跟踪多机场区域内外发展变化,深入探讨不同经济地理要素对多机场区域各阶段发展过程所产生的影响。

This paper provides a methodology for deciding which airports warrant grouping in multi-airport metropolitan areas. The methodology is based on the comparability of incremental competition effects from nearby airports on average fares at a metropolitan area’s primary airport. Results from a quarterly panel data set for the period 2003–2009 provide strong evidence that city-pairs, rather than airport-pairs, are the appropriate market definition for analyses of passenger air transportation involving many (but not all) large metropolitan areas. Based on the proposed method, we offer a recommended list of airports that should be grouped when creating city-pairs for the analysis of competition in the US domestic airline industry.

Transborder demand leakage and the US-Canadian air passenger market

The US–Canadian air traffic market is one of the largest international markets in the world – estimated at 23million passengers in 2008. The market is currently regulated by an “Open Skies” agreement, which eliminated all restrictions on the frequency of flights, the aircraft flown, and the fares charged on transborder routes. Although there is evidence that consumers have benefited from the Open Skies agreement, there is also evidence that many passengers have chosen to avoid transborder services, and instead fly from airports in US border cities and cross the border by surface transportation. This paper uses a passenger demand model to determine the scope of this “leakage” from transborder routes. In addition, transborder airfares are compared to US domestic airfares to determine whether transborder fares are “excessive”, a potential cause of the leakage. Results show a substantial amount of leakage estimated at over 4.7million passengers for 2008. Furthermore, after controlling for the impact of route-specific variables, such as market concentration, average fares are 28.2% higher in the transborder market. Finally, policy implications and the future of the transborder air passenger market are discussed.

Many large conurbations have more than one airport that serves the air transport needs of their region. This paper models the relative route level within three multiple-airport regions (MARs) in the United States: Boston, Washington, and San Francisco. Although passenger-level surveys provide the researcher with the most detailed information on how travelers choose between airports and airlines, as well as geographic information about both the start and end of a journey, such data are often difficult or expensive to obtain. Here, we use freely available aggregate data from the U.S. Department of Transportation and linear models to assess whether passenger levels on routes involving airports within the three cities vary in relation to known correlates of airport choice. The results show that they do, and that variables such as the outhwest effect, fare, and market size, among others, help explain the complexity of air-travel patterns within MARs. Importantly, the results point to the difficulty in easily classifying cities or airport pairs into simple groups. We conclude that aggregate data can be used to establish initial evidence of the strength of a functional multi-airport region and, as such, may prove useful in informing individual traveler-based research and as inputs to policy decisions.

This paper presents an analysis of the choice of airport by air travellers departing from the San Francisco Bay (SF-B) area. The analysis uses the mixed multinomial logit model, which allows for a random distribution of tastes across decision makers. To our knowledge, this is the first application using this model form in the analysis of airport choice. The results indicate that there is significant heterogeneity in tastes, especially with respect to the sensitivity to access time, characterised by deterministic variations between groups of travellers (business/leisure, residents/visitors) as well as random variations within groups of travellers. The analysis reinforces earlier findings showing that business travellers are far less sensitive to fare increases than leisure travellers, and are willing to pay a higher price for decreases in access time (and generally also increases in frequency) than is the case for leisure travellers. Finally, the results show that the random variation between business travellers in terms of sensitivity to access time is more pronounced than that between leisure travellers, as is the case for visitors when compared to residents.

Abstract. In this article, we present an analysis of air travel choice behaviour in the San Francisco Bay area. The analysis extends existing work by considering the simultaneous choice by passengers of a departure airport, an airline, and an access mode. The analysis shows that several factors, most notably flight frequency and in-vehicle access time, have a significant overall impact on the attractiveness of an airport, airline and access mode combination, while factors such as fare and aircraft size have a significant effect only in some of the population subgroups. The analysis highlights the need to use separate models for resident and non-resident travellers, and to segment the population by journey purpose. The analysis also shows that important gains can be made through the inclusion of airport-inertia variables, and through using a nonlinear specification for the marginal returns of increases in flight frequency. In terms of model structure, the results suggest that the use of the different possible two-level nested logit models leads to modest, yet significant gains in model fit over the corresponding multinomial logit models, which already exhibit very high levels of prediction performance.

Exploring the potential for cross-nesting structures in airport-choice analysis: A case study of the Greater London area

The analysis of air-passengers choices of departure airport in multi-airport regions is a crucial component of transportation planning in many large metropolitan areas, and has been the topic of an increasing number of studies over recent years. In this paper, we advance the state of the art of modelling in this area of research by making use of a Cross-Nested Logit (CNL) structure that allows for the joint representation of inter-alternative correlation along the three choice dimensions of airport, airline and access-mode. The analysis uses data collected in the Greater London area, which arguably has the highest levels of inter-airport competition of any multi-airport region; the authors of this paper are not aware of any previous effort to jointly analyse the choice of airport, airline and access-mode in this area. The results of the analysis reveal significant influences on passenger behaviour by access-time, access-cost, flight-frequency and flight-time. A structural comparison of the different models shows that the cross-nested structure offers significant improvements over simple Nested Logit (NL) models, which in turn outperform the Multinomial Logit (MNL) model used as the base model.

Emergence and impact of secondary airports in the United States

[J]. Secondary Airports Air Traffic Managemant Air Transportation, 22(4): 329-40.

https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2004-6497      URL      PMID: 15202111      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

As major airports in the United States have reached their maximum capacity and became congested, available capacity at surrounding airports has been utilized by the emergence of secondary airports. Given the expectation of a larger number of operations inthe National Airspace System (NAS) in the upcoming years, this trend of secondary airports emergence is likely to strengthen. In order to understand the dynamics of the regional airport systems, a study of the factors that led to the emergence of secondary airports was performed. The distribution of population at the regional level, the existence and the proximity of a secondary basin of population close to secondary airports were identified asmajor factors. Ground access and airport infrastructure were also enabling factors. The nature of the regional airport system, in terms of “Hub” versus “non-Hub” was alsoidentified as a contributing factor. The entry of a low cost carrier was determined to be the essential stimulus in the emergence phenomenon. These entries modify the airport dynamics resulting in the stimulation of both local and peripheral markets. Following the entry of a low cost carrier several other carriers, both legacy and low cost, enter and consolidate the growth of the emerging airport. As a consequence of the emergence of secondary airports and their integration into a region wide multi-airport system, they induce impacts on the NAS structure. Recent consolidations of TRACONs (Terminal Area Control) were identified as primary impacts. As there will be increasing pressure of demand on core airports in the upcoming years, the development of additional secondary airports will be required. Thetransition from a single core airport to region wide multi-airport systems and the emergence of new secondary airports in existing multi-airport systems, impose new constraints that need to be taken into account in the NAS improvements.

The competitive landscape of air transport in Europe

[J]. Journal of Transport Geography, 50: 68-82.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2015.06.001      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

Competition between airlines and airports increased significantly since the deregulation of the intra-European air transport market in 1997. The passenger has a wider choice in terms of routings and departure airports than twenty-five years ago and pays a lower price. In this paper we investigate in which parts of Europe airline and airport competition are most intense and how the competitive landscape has changed since the liberalisation of the intra-European market. Competition levels are modelled for all air transport markets available to consumers in each western-European municipality using a Multinomial Logit (MNL) model. This allows us to determine how competitive the air transport product available to consumers in each of those municipalities truly is and how competition levels have changed. As opposed to most other competition studies we take all viable direct and indirect flight alternatives into account, as well as competing alternatives from nearby (adjacent) airports. This makes it the most extensive analysis of competition in the European aviation industry performed to date. As expected the results show that airline competition, allowing for grouping of the airlines belonging to the same alliance together, has in general increased since the liberalisation of the intra-European market. This can mainly be ascribed to the rise of the low cost business model. The spatial analysis however shows an uneven outcome. Changes in airline competition are most pronounced in areas that were previously not well served, such as the more remote regions in the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy. In Germany airline competition is lagging behind due to the strong dominance of the STAR alliance. In large parts of Scandinavia, but also in parts of France and Spain, airline competition is considerably less. These areas are often served only by a handful of airports and/or airlines, limiting airline choice and therefore competition.

Evaluating locational accessibility to the US air transportation system

[J]. Transportation Research Part A: Policy & Practice, 44(9): 710-722.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2010.07.004      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

Although there are hundreds of airports that support commercial air passenger traffic in the United States (US), not all areas are equivalently served by the commercial air transportation system. Locations in the US differ with respect to their level of access to the commercial air network and their overall accessibility within the system. Given the complexity of the domestic commercial air passenger network and supporting infrastructure, past research has only been able to provide a limited assessment of locational accessibility within the United States. To address these complexities, this paper proposes a new metric that incorporates measures of access to air transport as well as accessibility within air transportation networks. Using a comprehensive dataset on scheduled airline service, the developed approach is then applied to the US domestic commercial passenger air transportation network to explore geographic differentials in accessibility. Results suggest marked differences between core-based statistical areas throughout the US.

https://doi.org/10.1680/tran.2012.165.2.151      URL      PMID: 8886655      摘要

This study deals with the allocation of international and domestic flights (allocation of services) among multiple airports in a metropolitan area. We examine three types of airport operation: 1. separate operation by two private firms (PP); 2. integrated operation by a single private firm (M); and 3. integrated operation by the government (G). By means of numerical simulations, we obtain the following results: (a) the allocation of services varies with the location of airports and types of operation; (b) the welfare gain of the service choice regulation is quantitatively small compared with the airport charge regulation.

Passengers' airport choice and airports' catchment area analysis in cross-border Upper Adriatic multi-airport region

[J]. Journal of Air Transport Management, 57: 143-154.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jairtraman.2016.07.011      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

Although much research has been performed on passengers' origin airport choice, there is little research on airports' catchment area size and even less on airports' catchment areas in cross-border regions. This paper addresses passengers' airport choice and analyzes airports' catchment area size and its homogeneity in the Upper Adriatic region. Using the results of passengers' survey at three regional airports (Ljubljana Jo e Pu nik Airport (LJU), Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) and Trieste Pietro Savorgnan di Brazza Airport (TRS)) we have estimated the airports' catchment areas and airports market shares therein using multinomial logit (MNL) model structure. To additionally explore the passengers' airport choice behavior considering the different sensitivity across travellers to regional, demographic and airports attributes and account for preference heterogeneity in airport choice a mixed logit model was used. The results indicated that the three airports have relatively small core catchment areas and that the market share rapidly decreases with the increasing access time to airport. Partially, the results reinforced earlier findings showing that access time to airport is the most important determinant in airport choice for all segments (business/leisure and cross-border/domestic), however the sensitivity to access time is more pronounced in business and domestic group. Additionally, the results indicated pronounced loyalty to domestic airports and generally low importance of ticket prices, and show that in market conditions where all airports in the region have a low-cost carrier (LCC) the effect of LCC on airport choice is limited. Finally, the results indicated that the borders might have an influence on airport choice and that overall, in the cross-border regions the passengers airport choice process is even more complex than in non cross-border regions.

In this paper a nested logit model is used to describe passenger preferences concerning airports and airlines. A statistical model for the passengers' sequential choice of airport and airline is calibrated. It appears the nested multinomial logit model, with airports as the common elements in the nests, is statistically preferable to the 'standard' multinomial logit model. Frequency and access time to the airport are all significant. Separate models are estimated for business and leisure travellers, but there appear to be only small diVerences.

Access to and competition between airports: A case study for the San Francisco Bay area

[J]. Transportation Research Part A: Policy & Practice, 37(1): 71-83.

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0965-8564(02)00007-1      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

In this paper (nested) logit models that describe the combined access mode-airport-choice are estimated. A three level nested logit model is rejected. A two level nested logit model with the airport choice at the top level and the access mode choice at the lower level is preferred. From the estimation results, it is concluded that business travelers have a higher value of time than leisure travelers. In the (conditional) access mode choice, leisure travelers have a higher access cost elasticity (in absolute value), while business travelers have a higher access time elasticity (in absolute value). In general, access time is of large importance in the competition between airports in a region.

European connectivity: The role played by small airports

[J]. Journal of Transport Geography, 29(2):86-94.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2013.01.010      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

The objective of this work is to evaluate the role played by small airports in European connectivity. In particular, we aim to estimate the connectivity loss for the population caused by the closure of airports with traffic of less than 1 and 2million passengers per year, which represent two thirds and three quarters, respectively, of all operating European airports. Taken together these account for 8% of European passenger traffic. We apply a methodology that involves computing the quickest travel time necessary to connect each origin municipality to any destination in Europe and to major intercontinental destinations. The travel time includes three components: (i) travel time by road and high-speed train to access the departure airport, (ii) travel time by flight from the departure airport to the destination airport, including waiting times in intermediate airports when no direct flight is available, and (iii) travel time by road and high-speed train from the destination airport to the final destination municipality. For each of the over 75,000 municipalities in Europe, we calculate the average travel time needed to reach any other municipality in two cases: (i) including all airports operating in Europe, and (ii) considering only airports offering more than 1 and 2million seats per year. The results show that, with the exception of the Scandinavian countries, the average loss of connectivity is small on a country level. However, the connectivity loss is unevenly distributed: several regions in France, Spain, and Italy experience very significant increases in average travel times, in some cases of up to 40%.

Multiple airport regions based on inter-airport temporal distances

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tre.2017.03.002      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

We formulate and implement a new metric for identifying multiple airport regions (MARs) around the world, based on the temporal distance between airports. This metric, opposed to existing studies based on spatial distance, takes into account the real travel time between airports of latent passengers and their journeys via ground transportation. We investigate a variety of properties of the newly built MARs network at the global scale for the year 2015, including the importance of MARs in global air transportation, similarity clustering, destination overlap, and airport roles inside a MAR. Commonalities and differences to the simplified spatial distance are identified.

Managing the multiple airport system by coordinating short/long-haul flights

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jairtraman.2012.01.004      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

This paper considers the effectiveness of the perimeter rule for managing a multiple airport system by focusing on airline’s network design behavior as well as air passenger’s route choice behavior. We apply a bi-level air transport market model that deals with behavior of two participants: airlines as leaders and passengers as followers. The results of numerical computations suggest that the equilibrium solution under the perimeter rule is the best for both airlines and air passengers; essentially airlines face a prisoner’s dilemma without the perimeter rule.

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0969-6997(01)00013-8      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

The “Southwest Effect” is a well-known phenomenon within the airline industry where markets that Southwest Airlines enter see an increase in traffic and a decrease in average airfares. This paper examines the role of Southwest Airlines in altering fares and passenger traffic and the Southwest Effect at airports in multi-airport regions. A comparison between Southwest-served routes and non-Southwest-served competing routes shows that the elements of the Southwest Effect are present even in those markets not served by Southwest. Southwest-served multi-airport regions studied include Chicago, Washington, DC/Baltimore, Houston, and south Florida.

Analytic hierarchy process assessment for potential multi-airport systems: The case of Cape Town

[J]. Journal of Air Transport Management, 36(4): 41-49.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jairtraman.2013.12.004      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

This paper discusses the application of an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis for the assessment of a potential multi-airport development. The case study presented evaluates the potential introduction of a second airport in the City of Cape Town, which is currently served solely by Cape Town International Airport. With socioeconomic development, spatial planning, transportation improvement, environmental preservation and financial viability proposed as the main objectives of airport development, a survey of key stakeholders addressed the relative weighting of these criteria in the AHP. The multi-criteria decision-making assessment, as well as analyst judgement, concluded that the City of Cape Town should continue to utilise a single-airport system until passenger volumes per annum increase beyond the 27 Million Air Passengers per annum level.
