The Quality of the Air Transport Network in the South East Europe

Air traffic between EU and South-East Europe has seen significant growth over the past few years and industry forecasts show positive trend in the future. Analysis of the European Air Transport Market published by European Commission shows that passenger flows within Europe count for remarkable 40% share in overall EU traffic, on average. This paper examines the quality of air service originating in the selected non-EU countries1 of the South East European region (SEE). The connectivity and centrality index are crucial element of the network analysis. In this paper, network is defined by Ticketed Point Mileage (TPM)2 and Maximum Permitted Mileage (MPM)3 between city pairs flown in 2010 with origin or destination in SEE countries. In examples where sum of individual TPMs exceed MPM for more than 25%, connection is considered as non-reasonable and therefore not taken into consideration. Results of the air service quality analysis based on the basic connectivity index and air mobility for the selected countries are compared with EU-27 market.
