摘要
Sheffield is hoping to have a short take-off and landing airport open for business by 1993. Its use will depend on its ability to recapture local traffic which currently uses other existing airports. A behavioural choice model has been calibrated on the actual airport choice made in 1983 by travellers who started their trips within an hour of Sheffield's airport site. This model has been used to predict Sheffield's market share for a range of frequencies and fares. It is shown that comparable frequencies need to be offered to those at the competitive airports if the new airport is to recapture the majority of the traffic generated in its own hinterland. Fare and aircraft size are much less important, at least for business traffic.
