Abstract: At the Regional level, accessibility is one of the key factors in airports' provision. An efficient public transport network can represent an alternative to maintaining costly and inefficient airports in the same catchment area, notwithstanding residents’ pressures to have a “local” airport. At the same time, airports can better exploit economies of scale aggregating demand. In this paper, we analyse residents' decisions regarding airport access mode in the Apulia region, in Italy, which is characterised by the presence of a system of “local” airports, of which two not fully operating. Both revealed and stated preferences data are collected and are used to estimate probabilistic models (multinomial, nested logit, and mixed logit) in order to calculate the relevant elasticities of dedicated public transit services. Moreover, we measure the effectiveness of specific policies/actions aimed at generating a modal shift from private modes (car and taxi) to public transport, rationalising mobility towards the existing airports.
