International Seminar on Regional Airports
Regional airports have become increasingly important elements of the air network system, both as feeders of hub-and-spoke services and as origin or destination of point-to-point services.Congestion at the main hubs and increasing demand for air transportation (both for passengers and freight service) necessitates revaluation of the overall air systems, with regional airports taking an ever expanding role. Optimisation of air transportation systems within the framework of other forms of transport plays an important part in the present quest for sustainability. Congestion nowadays is not only associated with countries such as the USA and those in the EU, but also a variety of countries with fast developing economies such as those in the Far East, with China and India leading the way for a strong increase in air transportation demand.
