| Description | Dennis, N.P.S. (2005) The development of Long-Haul air services from Regional and Secundary airports in Europe, Paper submitted to the 45th Congress of the European Regional Science Association, 23-27 August 2005, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam http://www-sre.wu-wien.ac.at/ersa/ersaconfs/ersa05/papers/316.pdf. Accessed April 28, 2010 This paper examines the recent development of long-haul scheduled air services from Europe and identifies the increasing dominance of the major hub airports. Airline failures and changes of strategy have led to many of the regional European airports seeing their networks reduce in the last decade, while it also appears more difficult to replicate Ryanair's use of secondary airports in the long-haul arena. The current pattern of regional service to intercontinental destinations is interpreted. Aircraft and product developments are discussed. More non-stop destinations and higher frequencies are expected from the major European hubs to other world regions, coupled with increased non-European carrier service to second-tier cities in Europe. The scope for a longhaul low-cost airline is analysed and traditional operations are shown to be in a relatively stronger position. It is concluded that the best scope for long-haul services from the regions is to major hub airports in other parts of the world, such as those developed by Emirates and Continental. Point-to-point leisure services will grow where there are ethnic links or holiday destinations involved. Otherwise, the regional airports are in the hands of the major airlines or alliance groups and their European feeder operations. |
