Guillaume Burghouwt is the Director of Airneth. Previously he was working as Program Manager for five years. Joining Airneth enables him to share and exchange his experience and interest in air transport research with other (international) researcher and policymakers.

In 2000, he graduated with honours from Utrecht University as an urban geographer, specialized in aviation and urban transport.

Guillaume joined the Faculty of Geographical Sciences of Utrecht University in 2000 as an associate professor and PhD-researcher in air transport and infrastructure planning. His PhD-research involved the analysis of airline network behaviour in the deregulated EU aviation market, the impact of changing airline network behaviour on airport connectivity and the strategic planning of airport capacity in volatile, deregulated markets.

He developed a special interest in connectivity indicators measuring airline and airport network performance, network concentration indices, volatility of airport traffic demand and the analysis of airport master planning processes. Amongst other things, he analysed the possibilities for a more flexible airport planning to cope with an increasingly volatile and uncertain market environment. Guillaume received his PhD in February 2005.

Guillaume is author of the Ashgate book 'Airline network development in Europe and its implications for airport planning'
