Abstract

El presente trabajo se centra en identificar los factores determinantes del transporte aéreo de pasajeros, con especial referencia al papel que juegan las variables turísticas en este contexto. Utilizando datos del tráfico de flujos de pasajeros de los principales aeropuertos del área de influencia del Mediterráneo español, se estima un modelo de datos de panel para los años 2004-2015. Los factores explicativos incluyen aspectos relativos al desarrollo del mercado turístico en el territorio donde se localiza cada aeropuerto, variables de actividad eco¬nómica, y otras propias de la especialización de cada aeropuerto, como la existencia de operadores de bajo coste (low-cost). El estudio utiliza técnicas de cointegración para controlar por la presencia de raíces unitarias en las series del modelo. Los resultados permiten observar la relevancia de las variables turísticas en la genera¬ción de servicios aeroportuarios.This paper seeks to identify the factors driving air transport services, with special emphasis on the role played by tourism-related variables. Using data on flows of passengers arriving to airports in the Spanish Mediterranean region, we employ panel data regressions for the period 2004-2015. Explanatory factors in the model include variables reflecting the state of development of the tourism market, the size of the local eco¬nomic activity, and the presence of low-cost carriers. Cointegration techniques are applied in order to control for the presence of unit roots in variables of the model. Main results show the relevance of tourism activities in explaining air transport passenger services in this area.
