Abstract

The main objective of the proposed research is to improve the accessibility and the mobility of passengers across the Adriatic area and its hinterland, through the development of new sustainable and integrated transport services and the improvement of physical infrastructures related to those new services, particulary in the air transport connectivity and accesability. Analysis is oriented on existing infrastructure, connections and available aircraft fleet capacities based on three possible scenarios which are identified on the recommendations of renominated statistical data (Eurocontrol, Boeing, Airbus). Microregional improvements could be the key drivers for the macro economical issues where air transport plays significant role. Aircraft fleet, load factor and tourist destination atractivnes significantly improve hinterlend connectivities within Adriatic ports for both ferry and cruise passengers.
