Deregulation of the ASEAN air Transport Market: Measure of Impacts of Airport Activities on Local Economies

Abstract

International audienceASEAN Member States are currently in a step through liberalization of air traffic market in their region. The target is the 5th freedom right for South-East Asia in 2020. Two opposite effects might be observed following the deregulation: one negative on flag carrier due to increase in competition, one positive on national and regional economies. One main issue concerns the impact of expected development of airport activity on national and regional economies. We propose an estimation of these impact, using a two stage econometric model applied to four ASEAN countries. We show that GDP is the most sensible to air traffic growth in region where only international airports are located, that is for region that exhibit the highest level of development. We show that up to the 5th freedom right, given the expectation in tourism development, national GDP is expected to increase by 9% (Myanmar) to 51% (The Philippines) depending on the country. The magnitude of the impact depends on the tourism development expectation as well as on the tourism contribution to GDP. The analysis show then that economic benefit of air transport liberalization are non-negligible for the ASEAN countries. Given the magnitude of the estimated effect, the benefits would certainly overlap the negative effect of competition on the flag carriers

Examining the Association of Economic Development with Intercity Multimodal Transport Demand in China: A Focus on Spatial Autoregressive Analysis

“…Some previous studies also suggested that growth in GDP was very sensible to growth in air traffic for time dimension [13,14], findings from this study further indicate that air transportation is strongly associated with GDP across cities in China. Indeed, results from this study identified that only the intercity air transportation (in terms of both air passenger traffic and freight volume) have noticeable influence on GDP at the national level and in all the three regions.…”

“…Laplace and Latgé-Roucolle [14] examined the relationship between the economic development and the air traffic in four ASEAN countries including Lao PDR, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam. Their findings pointed out that GDP was very sensible to air traffic growth, especially in the regions which owns only one international airport.…”

Evaluation and Projection of Airport Landing Movement Areas based on Statistical Analyses, ICAO 2013 Manuals and KM 44, 2002 Regulation

“…The capacity of an airport depends on the capacities of its landside and airside components in accommodating passenger movements, cargo and aircraft takeoff, and airport landing movements [3]. Based on Laplacea, et al (2016), the population growth, GDP, and the fluctuation of the per capita incomes in a specific region may affect airport traffic movements [4].…”
