TI - Domestic air cabotage connections in Europe

	The contemporary development of passenger air transport in the European Union countries occurs under conditions of complete liberalization of aviation market, with respect to all nine air freedoms. Among them are full cabotage connections, including domestic connection within a given country, previously allowed only to be offered by carriers registered in this country. Most cabotage connections have been established in southern European countries, i.e. in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Greece. Less common they are in Great Britain, Germany, Poland and Romania. Cabotage network is dominated by connections between far-apart airports on the mainland and island airports, as well as to/from airports not served by other fast means of transport, especially high-speed rail. Regional and satellite airports in the vicinity of large agglomerations are typical destinations, as are areas attractive for tourism. Cabotage connections have a large share in domestic markets of countries in which former legacy carriers have rather weak economic position (e.g. Italy, Greece, Poland, Romania). Cabotage service fills gaps in domestic networks and is rarely offered between main airports, where competition between carriers is strong. Implementation of cabotage helps to increase transport accessibility of peripheral regions.
