An analysis of the determinants of air traffic volume for European metropolitan areas
چکیده انگلیسی

This paper examines the determinants of air traffic volume in the major European urban regions, highlighting those that depend on the metropolitan features of cities. We used homogeneous urban and airline data that make international comparisons possible. We found that GDP, the level of economic decision-power, tourism functions, and the distance from a major air market account for more than two-thirds of the variation in air service. This seems to indicate that air service remains profoundly rooted in the metropolitan features of urban regions (notably size and decision-power), even if low-cost airlines are probably less linked to the latter because they partly focus on niche markets and regional airports. Much of the remainder is probably attributable to the specificities of the urban economy, to actors’ strategies and to competition from high-speed trains.

Research highlights
► Systematic and original analysis of the determinants of air traffic volume in Europe.
► Air service remains profoundly rooted in the metropolitan features of urban regions.
► Actors’ strategies and competition from high-speed trains also play a role.
