Samenvatting
Are airports drivers of economic success in peripheral regions, as the title of this project suggests? Of course, the answer is neither a clear “yes” nor a blunt “no”. As often in a complex world, the answer is closer to “it depends”.
The main results indicate:
that accessibility in general is an important location factor;
that for some remote regions, airports with enough scheduled flights are crucial for economic development;
that in these cases the bottleneck usually is not lacking infrastructure but lacking scheduled flights to relevant destinations;
that the limiting factor (or bottleneck) for economic prosperity is often not accessibility but rather the availability of qualified manpower;
that it is better to use a larger airport in a neighbouring region than to develop an airport of its own (if accessible within some three hours);
that not all existing airports are needed – some of them can be closed and the territory used for something more efficient; - that the airports still needed and used can very often be improved (to make them more attractive);
that good policy can make a difference
