Šiame tyrime keleivių srauto dinamikos palyginimui buvo pasirinktas Tarptautinis Krokuvos aerouostas ir trys Baltijos šalių oro uostai. Per paskutiniuosius trejus metus (2004-2006) daugiausia keleivių buvo aptarnauta Tarptautiniame Rygos oro uoste - 5433461 keleivis; Tarptautiniame Krokuvos oro uoste - 4416896 keleiviai. Talino oro uostas aptarnavo 3940366 keleivius ir galiausiai Tarptautiniame Vilniaus oro uoste buvo aptarnautas 3727501 keleivis. Taip pat straipsnyje analizuojamos keleivių ir lėktuvų srauto Tarptautiniame Vilniaus oro uoste gerinimo galimybės.
