Air Transport and Regional Development Methodologies

This book explores air transport challenges in Europe, providing methodologies to enhance regional development and competitiveness. Air Transport and Regional Development Methodologies serves as a vital resource.

The book Air Transport and Regional Development Methodologies provides a comprehensive exploration of the challenges faced by air transport in both core and remote regions of Europe. It emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges to promote economic competitiveness and social cohesion. By presenting a variety of methodological approaches, the book aims to enhance understanding and facilitate effective solutions for air transport-related issues.

As part of a larger initiative known as the Air Transport and Regional Development (ATARD) COST Action established in 2015, Air Transport and Regional Development Methodologies serves as one of three interconnected volumes. This collaborative effort seeks to improve the comprehension of air transport's impact on different regions, highlighting the necessity of tailored strategies that consider the unique characteristics of both core and remote areas.

The book discusses various analytical methods, including input-output analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and game theory, among others. Each method is examined for its strengths and weaknesses, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals. By drawing on the expertise of seasoned researchers involved in the COST Action, Air Transport and Regional Development Methodologies aims to be a key reference source, offering guidance to academics, consultants, and transport operators alike, while addressing a significant gap in existing literature.
