This report examines different approaches to defining and measuring air connectivity, focussing on the perspectives that can help governments, airports and airlines to improve their long-term aviation strategies. The findings are then applied to assess air connectivity at two major hub airports – Incheon International Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol – to demonstrate how air connectivity assessments can help improve outcomes for the users of aviation.
Policy Insights
- Adapt the use of connectivity metrics to specific policy challenges.
- Use a combination of approaches to assess potential knock-on effects that policy or strategy changes may have on air connectivity.
- Involve all aviation stakeholders in the policy process of developing air connectivity metrics.
- Make systematic use of air connectivity metrics to evaluate the performance of the national aviation sector and improve decision-making.
