| Abstract [eng] |
The air transport sector is globally regarded as one of the most demanding and important economic sectors. Over the past decades, due to the deregulation and the liberalization of air transport in the world‘s and the European Union‘s aviation markets, air traffic demand has grown rapidly. Consequently, this has led to a growing air transport system in the global economy. Airports, serving as the most important link of the transport system, through creating jobs and, indirectly, through business and tourism facilitation, influence a country's economic development, encourage foreign investment and contribute to the operating efficiency of other economic sectors. However, the growing demand for air transport is fueled by growing competition not only between airlines, but also between airports themselves. Therefore, airports wishing to compete in the international market for passengers, airlines and travel routes, must meet the posed security, service quality and infrastructure requirements. Furthermore, airports must expand their commercial activities based largely on the needs of travelers. |
