本文探讨了机场如何应对低成本航空公司的增长所带来的明显机遇。航空公司采用所谓的低成本模式，使许多机场从根本上重新考虑他们的客户是谁。低成本模式促使航空公司谈判大幅降低机场航空费用的合同，从而寻求通过乘客数量增加带来的商业收入来弥补这一缺口。然而，这对机场、乘客以及机场与其现有航空公司运营商之间的关系并非没有影响。近期低成本航空公司的增长自然引起了机场管理者的关注，将其作为缓解商业压力的运量来源；然而，由于低成本航空公司不愿意支付高额机场费用，因此很难将乘客量的增加转化为收入的增加。本文回顾了欧洲许多不同机场的行为，并确定了机场管理人员在与低成本航空公司谈判时需要考虑的重要问题。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This paper explores the way in which airports have responded to the apparent opportunities afforded them by the growth of low-cost airlines. The adoption of a so-called low-cost model by airlines has made many airports fundamentally reconsider who their customers are. The low-cost model impels airlines to negotiate contracts which significantly reduce aeronautical charges by the airport, consequently seeking to make up this short fall by commercial revenues from the increased passenger numbers. This is not however without consequences for the airports, their passengers and the relationship between the airport and its existing airline operators. The recent growth of low-cost airlines has naturally attracted the attention of airport managers as a source of volume to alleviate commercial pressures; however, due to low-cost airlines' unwillingness to pay high airport fees there is the difficulty of translating any increased volume of passengers into increased revenue. This paper reviews the behaviour of a number of different airports in Europe and identifies important issues for airport management to consider when negotiating with low-cost airlines.
