Abstract

Multiple Airport Regions (MARs) are an increasingly important element of air transportation, enabling capacity distribution, providing redundancies, and potentially improving accessibility for passengers. Prime examples for MARs include London, New York, and Tokyo, and the Greater Bay Area (GBA) in China. The scientific community has investigated MAR-phenomena for nearly 40 years now; with the first seminal papers having appeared in the 1980s / 1990s. Despite the significant number of studies in this area, there exists—to the best of our knowledge—no attempt to categorize all papers on this subject. In this study, we address this gap in the literature by collecting the extant studies on the subject and classify them according to their foci and key contributions. Moreover, based on insights from these studies and the highly developing GBA-MAR, we propose and discuss a set of challenges for effective and successful MARs development. We believe that our work is helpful for the relevant communities to maintain an overview of the state-of-the-art as well as working on the open challenges in a goal-oriented way.
