The Remote Airport: A Study of Access Feasibility
Publication: Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE
Volume 100, Issue 1
Abstract
The present airport to city center distances are stated for those airports that are 22.5 km (14 miles) or more from city centers, and the travel times required for access and average speeds at peak and off-peak hours are reported. It is then pointed out that pressures for increased capacity are forcing locations of new airports at increasing distances from cities, and the term remote airport is defined as those at distances in the range of 40 to 80 km (25 to 50 miles). The need for a means of access that will not require excessive travel time is recognized, and costs of two modes of STOL aircraft from downtown STOLports, and rail rapid transit, are analyzed and compared to capital and operating costs.
