    The Return of The City Centre Airport: Philip Butterworth-Hayes Editorial Director, PMI Media LTD

    Uploaded by

    Denis Koss
    City centre airports are growing in popularity as an alternative to remote hubs. While city centre airports provide easy access for passengers, they have limitations in terms of expansion and aircraft types. Remote hubs allow for greater growth but are more expensive and distant from city centres. However, both types of airports are finding new ways to balance economic and environmental concerns through innovative planning and design.

    Everyone wants different types of airports
    The passenger wants the shortest, cheapest, most comfortable journey
    from origin to destination, using local facilities and a “seamless” travel
    mode.
    The aircraft operator wants the passenger to take the most expensive travel
    alternative offered, and to exploit this desire to travel through offering as
    many value-added services as possible.
    The airport operator wants the passenger to spend money at the airport on
    goods and services, to linger, but not too long.
    The government wants the passenger to travel via remote airports, far from
    urban areas , to minimise political dissent and optimise tax and wealth
    generating activities.
    Local communities want the economic benefits of living next to thriving
    airports but not the disruption they cause.

    Result?
    You will not be able to please everyone but, in general, the type of airport
    that emerges is a political, rather than a predict-and-provide, outcome.
    In Europe, the trend is for airline growth rates to exceed the capacity of
    major airports - if traffic doubles every 20 years it is unlikely the continent’s
    major hubs will be able to double their capacity over the same period given
    the environmental restrictions on runway developments. As a result:
    • Other continents will replace Europe as global hubs between east and
    west (already happening)
    • Demand for new services will be met increasingly by regional facilities
    (already happening)
    • Increasing political mechanisms used to balance capacity and demand
    (already happening)

    Aviation will find new ways to re-integrate
    with society
    Technical trends – advances in smaller aircraft designs. Longer ranges off
    short runways, more aircraft off single-runway airports (LGW around 250,000
    movements off a single runway), quieter aircraft, personal aircraft. VLJs and
    A380s.
    Sociological trends – megacities , swallowing up smaller towns, making
    remote airports city-centre airports. Globalisation developing so air travel is
    normal, not special.
    Internet giving power to the passenger – increasingly able to trade cost with
    comfort, schedule and convenience. Aircraft operators must offer more
    choice.
    Political trends – environment falls down the political agenda as economic
    priorities increase; capital cities v regions, de-centralisation of infrastructure
    decision-making
    Industry trends – the success of low cost models, increased affordability of air
    travel

    Fastest growing airport in the UK?

    ….Oxford
    • Growth is up 12.2% in 2011 over 2010
    • In 2011 the runway strength was reassessed at a PCN of 38 and is now
    suitable for use by a number of heavier regional jets including the
    Embraer E-Jet series and the A318/319 family. 
    • The airport is now routinely visited by larger jet types, including the
    Embraer EMB-190 and Avro RJ with seating capacity of 100 plus. 
    • Oxford Airport is also prepared for the next generation of regional jets
    including the Sukhoi Superjet and the Bombardier C-Series, meaning 110
    passengers will be able to fly more than 2,670 nm out of Oxford –
    covering destinations as far as Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. 
    • The larger 135-seat CS300 will be able to cover most of Europe from
    Oxford.  The new runway length enables longer range private jets such as
    the Global and G550 family to undertake transatlantic flights on a
    commercial basis.

    Around the world city centre airports are
    booming
    London City
    Planning for a 2012 Olympic boom. London City Airport (LCY) saw
    more than three million passengers pass through its gates in 2011,a
    7.6% increase over 2010. The airport is looking forward to building on
    this further in the coming 12 months, increasing leisure and business
    traveller passenger numbers, as well as growing the dominant inbound
    market from European business hubs and New York City.
    Belfast City
    Extending into Europe. In October 2011 the airport launched its first
    direct services into the European continent with a flight to Amsterdam,
    the first of seven new European routes operated by bmibaby, with
    Geneva beginning in December 2011 and Malaga, Faro, Alicante, Palma,
    Ibiza starting in 2012. Just completed a private investment of £15
    million into a new terminal.
     Stockholm Bromma – we will hear elsewhere today of progress

    Especially in north America
    Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
    Passengers up 37 per cent. Expected to surpass its estimate of 1.5
    million passengers for 2011, an increase of 37 per cent over 2010, and
    double the number of passengers it served in 2009.
    Washington Reagan
    Passengers up from 12,800, 858 in 2009 to 14,499,823 in 2010 – or
    13.2%.
    Chicago Midway
    Midway has recently been named "fastest-growing" airport in the
    U.S. by anna.aero. Indeed, Midway is one of the fastest-growing
    airports in the U.S. with steady growth in passenger traffic. Through
    October 2011, passenger activity was up 6.7 per cent from the same
    period a year ago.

    As new ways are being found to
    balance economic growth with
    environmental concerns
    St Paul Downtown
    Planning major growth. The airport is forecasting operations will increase
    from 111,870 in 2010 to 137,310 in 2025 with the number of aircraft based
    there rising from 105 to 128.
     San Diego International Airport
    San Diego International Airport's expansion program, dubbed "The Green
    Build", is expected to help the airport meet current and future travel
    demands. Expected to be complete in early 2013, the project focuses on
    expansion and enhancements at Terminal 2. Traffic in 2011 will be around 1%
    lower than in 2010 – but international passenger numbers are over 63%.

    The traditional view…
    City centre airports - negatives
    • Unpopular with local residents - noise and air quality
    • Limited room for expansion and commercial opportunities
    • Limited connectivity (motorways, high-speed rail)
    • Limited aircraft types and range of destinations
    • Few hub and spoke opportunities for airlines
    City centre airports – positives
    • Popular with passengers for easy access
    • Valuable land assets
    • Very fast journey from arrivals hall to aircraft
    • Linked to the community

    PMI Media Limited www.pmi-media.com 13


    Remote hubs – negatives
    Expensive to plan, build and operate
    Far from city centres
    Not generally popular with LCCs
    Not linked to local communities, more of a global player
     
    Remote hubs - positives
    Multiple opportunities to develop airport city businesses – MRO, logistics etc
    Multiple opportunities for growth, expansion, hub and spoke operations
    Multi-modal link opportunities
    Lower noise footprint over populated areas

    The big change…

    PMI Media Limited www.pmi-media.com 15


    Power to the passenger
    The internet is slowly passing power from the infrastructure providers and
    aircraft operators to the individual passengers who will increasingly be able
    to trade between price, convenience, comfort.

    http://www.flyvictor.com/

    “Victor allows members to book spare seats on private flights already


    chartered by jet owners, meaning owners can cut down on the cost of flying.
    To date the web-based business has been funded by Mr Jackson, who came
    up with the idea when his regular Palma de Mallorca to London Heathrow
    flight was discontinued by BMI.”
    With such software tools passengers are slowly creating their own air travel
    system, in the same way digital television/internet subscribers are creating
    their own viewing media.

    The consequence
    Full fare airlines will continue to grow/consolidate activities
    Hubs will continue to develop in remote locations
    BUT
    As the twenty-first century becomes more urban in its thinking:
    • New city centres will emerge which will re-integrate urban societies with
    local businesses
    • There will be a rebalance of the environment V economy debate as issues
    are better understood
    • Transport choice power will become increasingly democratic – people will
    make their airline operations.
