Analyzing air cargo flows of international routes: an empirical study of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
چکیده انگلیسی

Air cargo demand is an important aspect of the operation and planning of private and public agencies responsible for airports. While most existing studies in this field include only geo-economic characteristics of airports and their hinterlands as explanatory variables, this study develops a gravity model of air cargo flows by trying to incorporate more factors that might influence international air cargo flows of an airport. The model is developed based on the panel data of air cargo services on scheduled routes at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport during the years 2004–2007. The results indicate that population, air freight rate and three dummy variables, including the regional economic bloc of the “Chinese Circle”(an informal partnership between Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland China), the Open Sky Agreements and long established colonial links, are key determinants of international air cargo flows from/to Taiwan. These results suggest a wider array of factors needs to be considered in policy.

Research highlights
► Analyzes the characteristics of Taiwan’s international air cargo flows.
► Discusses influential factors of air cargo demand and Taiwan’s other unique features.
► Develops an empirical panel gravity model of the air cargo flows for Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.
► Discusses key determinants and implications on Taiwan’s international air cargo flows.
