SEAPLANE Projectto improve spatial and regional development aims (plus above) by supporting the development of regional air transport.

Similar challenges and constraints at airport regions exist.Networking and information exchange

might lead to similar

solutions


Background of SEAPLANE

Facts and figures • 13 regions from six countries • 21 airports (0 - 5 mpax p.a.)• 7 regional airlines• Idea developed in 2002, start

February 2003, end June 2005• 1.4 mEuro budget• Lead Partner: Ministry for

Economy, Labour and Transport, Lower Saxony, Hanover

• Project management: UNICONSULT Hamburg

• Technical support: MKmetric, TOI, BMT, UNICONSULT


Outputs/ Results

• Airport charges: take-off / landing fees• Passenger and cargo handling fees

Aeronautical revenues

• Retail, advertising, rents• Car rental and parking charges

Non-aeronautical revenues

• Joint promotion of regionalcultural and historical resources

“Regional” revenues

Regional SWOT Analysis• Växjö Region Tourist

Development Astrid Lindgren• Scandinavian Pilot Centre,

university co-operation Bremen and Lund University

Development of regular aviation business is limited by the region (number of people and strength of business community)...….but every region might have something special to be discovered, developed and marketed

Airport business development concepts

Passenger market potential analysis for 10 airports

• Passenger potential on 90 new routes for 2006• 10 Airport Action Plans• Route spiders for selected new routes • Catchment for selected SEAPLANE airports• Passenger hours saved for passengers to/ from SEAPLANE regions

Outputs/ Results


Outputs/ Results

Info terminals for PTS utilisationObjective: Improvement of modal split to the benefit of the

local Public Transport System in Bremen, Hanover and Groningen


SEAPLANE Resolution

Problem Accessibility of regional airports is restricted by slot constraints at network airports

Regions can not participate in social and economic cohesion
