Domestic Scheduled Air Transport for the Year 2000. Financial and Capacity Related Effects of Supply Alternatives, Considering, Also, the Cooperation with High Speed Rail Transport Services

摘要

Various alternatives of available offers in domestic scheduled air transport are presented and evaluated. A forecast of passenger demand serves as a basis for a specially adapted cost/benefit-calculation model and is used to estimate financial and capacity effects on an air carrier and on airports (differences of financial results due to airport take-off charges). Passengers load factors of 61 %, 66 % and 71 % are discussed. Substitutional effects by high speed rail transport are also presented. Substitution of air trafic offers by an increase of mean rail speed up to 160 km/h, 225 km/h and 280 km/h is discussed on the basis of a travel time difference of 40 to 45 minutes.
