Incentives in airport pricing: benchmarking of twelve capital European airports
Santrauka
The paper compares incentive schemes on airport charges in twelve capital airports in Central
and Eastern European countries performing benchmarking excercises based on hypothetical operational
assumptions. We quantify difference in the level of potential financial impacts generated by use of
incentives on passenger and/or landing charges. Consequently, we benchmark competitiveness of
Bratislava and Vienna incentive schemes as these airport compete each other due to overlapping
catchment areas providing thus a measurement in the field of competitiveness of incentive schemes In
conclusions we sketch perspective tracks of future research which are seen in factors influencing design
of the schemes, new airport charges benchamrking based on consideration of the incentives and their
competitivenes in different arrangement of airport competition and relations to future airport strategies.
