Airport selection in cities with multiple airports, Case study of Tehran.

Abstract

Authors compare the modeling results of airport selection by passengers of Imam Khomeini International Airport with passengers of Mehrabad Airport (in Tehran) by using Binary Logit Model. Surveys in the form of Stated Preference have been carried out as the interview of the Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad airports passengers. The questionnaires for Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad Airport were 240 and 681, respectively. The results of modeling for mentioned airports were somewhat different. Factors such as experience of using the airport in the past, the age of passengers and their monthly income were significant. Factors such as facilities of the airport and ground access quality were effective to choose the airport by passengers of two airports.
