In many communities, airports are struggling to maintain the air service that they currently enjoy and require in order for their communities to thrive. In response, airport managers are evaluating current and traditional strategies to both attract and maintain air service, as well as new strategies being pursued by many smaller and medium-sized airports designed to reduce the start-up and ongoing costs to incumbent carriers and to increase long-term market viability. Through a literature review and interviews with 61 airports and four airline route planners, this report describes those practices that smaller airports use to maintain air service. |
