Research on Regional Multi-Airport Passenger Source Competition Based on Hotelling Model
Publication: Resilience and Sustainable Transportation Systems
ABSTRACT
The passenger travel behavior in multi-airport areas has the characteristics of “preference for different flight attributes and strong attraction of the hub airport”, leading to the polarization of air passengers’ distribution in the region and the Matthew effect in airport development. This paper uses Hotelling model to analyze the internal mechanism of passenger competition among multiple airports in a region, and the purpose is to propose an airport operation optimization plan to alleviate contradictions in the development process of regional air transport industry, and finally follow the coordinated development strategy of the national airport group. According to the research: (1) the increase in passenger price sensitivity coefficient and passenger travel cost will cause an decrease to the airport market share; (2) the core factor of airport passenger source competition is flight price; (3) differentiation strategy is an effective way to enhance the market competition advantage, form a competitive and cooperative mode, and promote the coordinated development for airports in a region.
