Air access to remote Finnish and European regions

Air access to remote areas with low passenger demand often relies on public subsidies, such as public service obligations (PSOs), to maintain essential connectivity. This study of three Finnish routes shows that aviation services are not commercially viable without significant support, with subsidies and cross-subsidies covering about three-quarters of airfare costs. The resulting economic impact on the remote regions, estimated at €19 million, mirrors the size of the subsidies provided.

Schiphol Amsterdam Airport: fewer flights or becoming more sustainable?

Environmental & noise measures, including a higher air passenger tax, are much better for the broad welfare than shrinking Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. Both options reduce emissions and noise, but the effects on emissions are larger in the environment & noise variant. These positive effects outweigh the direct costs for Dutch air passengers, airlines and Royal Schiphol Group.
