  3. Complimentarity • airport – city rail links increase catchment area of airport; • catchment area is determined by izochrones of travel time to the airport; • airports are usually located far from the city center; • road congestion is the real challenge; • total time of the air travel is long due to congestion and uncertain time of arrival to the airport; • dynamic growth of airports passengers.

  4. Different status of airport links Airport connected with: • main railway lines (i.e. Frankfurt Flughafen); • regional railway system (i.e. Köln – Bonn Flughafen); • urban railway (i.e. Vienna Airport); • tram line (i.e. Bremen); • dedicated railway link only for airport passengers (Arlanda Express Stockholm, Vienna Airport).

  5. Polish air market • Growing number of passengers; • low air mobility index (number of air travels / number of inhabitants) – 0,3 in 2005; • decreasing role of Warsaw Airport; • dynamic growth of regional airports; • very good perspectives (air mobility index 1,98 in 2030); • need of substantial investments; • lack of intermodal links (only Krakow since 2007 with regional railway system).

  7. Polish railway market • since 1990 has undergone strong crisis; • still underinvested and old fashioned; • growing market share of private cargo operators; • poor infrastructure determining low quality of services; • strong competitors (car and bus); • growing role of self-governments (financing, ownership, contracting, rolling stock aquisitions); • main market segments with best perspectives: Agglomeration and interaglomeration (long distance);

  10. Railway lines and main airports of Poland A A A A A

  11. Conclusions • main Polish airports are located in European Transport Corridors; • only one airport has railway link to the center of the city (Krakow); • up to 2012 railway links should be completed in Warsaw, Katowice, may be in Gdansk (with EU funds) and few other regional airports; • the results of initial marketing research conducted in one regional airport in Poland show that the biggest disadvantage for the passengers is uncertain time of arrival to air terminal.
