| description | Mobility is one of the characteristics of modern society. The world
today, despite the uncertainties brought by globalization is an
interconnected reality of networks, whether physical or virtual. In
Europe this mobility is higher than before due to the new offer of routes
and frequencies of airlines, mainly of the low cost carriers (LCC).
Portugal is one of the countries that grew in terms of new routes, new
destinations and above all new customers with economic impacts in the
regions. Over the last decade, LCC at Oporto (OPO) airport have
boosted their traffic volume by approximately 260%. The evolution of
OPO airport, generated by LCC, has meant that other regional airports
have followed this trend and have also experienced a positive and
growing net impact on their local economy.
The main issue of this study is to analyse the evolution of LCC air traffic
at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport in OPO and its economic impact on this
airport’s area of influence. We use a cost-benefit analysis model to
determine the costs, benefits and net impact of low cost routes on the
development of the local economy between 2005 and 2012. In 2005
these carriers started operating at OPO Airport. |
