“…The transport system can stimulate multiplier effects on economic growth by changing aggregate demand for intermediate inputs from other industries (Pradhan and Bagchi, 2013). Some authors have estimated the economic impact of road infrastructure on production, productivity, or employment (Bottasso and Conti, 2010), whilst others analysed the role of railways (Bronzini and Piselli, 2009) and airports (Cohen and Paul, 2003). Most studies have supported the existence of a positive effect of transport infrastructure on regional growth, whereas some academics empirically find that those relationships do not fit always (Globar, 2008;Hall, 2004;Helling andPoister, 2000, Fujita andMori, 1996).…”

“…For example, port infrastructure proxy, quay length, and port gantries (Cullinane et al, 2005), terminal area (Yeo, 2010), and port berths (Deng et al, 2013). For international trade proxy, cargo import and export were previously used by (Bottasso & Conti, 2010), container throughput (Bottasso et al, 2014), transshipment (Boopen, 2006), for economic growth proxy GDP (Song & Mi, 2016), GDP per capita (Park et al, 2019), urban population, and Annual wage income (Li, Liu et al, 2018).…”

Tanzania port sector performs an essential function in the development of the economy and transportation of goods and services. The raised question is, what is the impact level of a seaport infrastructure on the Tanzania economy? To respond to this question, we assess the impact of seaport infrastructure on promoting economic growth in low-income country, Tanzania. A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach employed to analyze the rapport of variables, using statistical data from 2005 to 2017. The results demonstrate a direct relationship between seaport infrastructure and economy. In addition, the relationship between seaport infrastructure and international trade were determined. The results also, shows a significant relation between international trade and economic growth. It is recommended in this study that, seaport infrastructure need to be improved alongside with the international trade so as to maximize its potential in promoting the growth of Tanzania’s economy, because transporting of goods through maritime is cheaper compared to other mode of transportation. Likewise the existing transportation and port policies should be maintained and implemented for improving transport infrastructure for promoting the growth of Tanzanian economy.

“…46 Finally, as regards ownership, the limited research that exists relates to all UK airports, not just the smaller ones. This evidence is rather inconclusive with some studies arguing that privatised UK airports perform better compared to public or mixed ownership ones, 47,48 whilst others found no such relationship. 49,50 In relation to the EC state aid guidelines it is important to note that the UK has a much higher proportion of privatised small airports than in most other countries, making these guidelines somewhat less relevant.…”

Performance and prospects of smaller UK regional airports

This paper investigates the traffic and financial performance of smaller UK regional airports between 2001 and 2014. Fourteen airports that typically serve less than 5 million passengers per annum were selected for the analysis. A period of strong growth in passenger demand was experienced from 2001 to 2007, driven largely by low cost carriers. The period from 2007 to 2014 was characterised by declining demand, resulting in significant losses for many of the airports. Airline strategies, such as the use of an increased unit fleet size and average sector length, may further limit future prospects for smaller UK regional airports in favour of larger ones with greater local demand. The relationship between traffic throughput and the generation of aeronautical revenues seems to vary at airports. There is generally a strong and significant relationship between traffic throughput and the generation of commercial revenues and total operating costs at airports serving 3–5 million passengers, but the situation for airports serving fewer than 3 million is less certain.
