Population potential of Polish airports

In 2013, Polish aviation “family” has extended by 2 new international airports with opening of the airport in Lublin and re-opening the one in Modlin. Local authorities in different parts of our country are making plans to create other international airports – in the locations like Gdynia, Kielce, Olsztyn, Opole, Koszalin. The most recent airport, which was entered into the register of civil airports a few days ago by Civil Aviation Authority, is Radom Airport, located a few kilometres from the centre of Radom.

Airports are not cheap. To be viable, a civil airport should have a traffic of more than 1 million passengers per year. And here comes the question what the potential of Polish airports is, both of those operating for years and those that have just been created or are to be opened in the nearest future. This analysis concerns the existing airports and the airport in Radom and Szymany, which may soon come into operation.

In Poland, a regular passenger traffic takes place at 13 international airports. The ones closest to each other are the airports in Warsaw and Modlin. Also, the airports in Poznań and Zielona Góra are in each other’s proximity, as well as the airports in Kraków and Pyrzowice. In 2013 the largest number of passengers flew from Warsaw Chopin Airport (10.7 million passengers), followed by Kraków (3.6 million) and Gdańsk (2.8 million), at the other extreme there was the airport in Zielona Góra with 12 thousand passengers in 2013.

In order to explore the potential of airports, their buffer zones were set with a diameter of 20, 50 and 100 kilometres. Then, the number of people living in the areas marked by the above buffers zones was calculated, which will make it possible to calculate the number of potential passengers of each airport who can avail of its services. The analysis shows the population of a given municipality; the way of reaching the airport by the potential clients is not taken into consideration – it may happen that the access to the airport located at the larger distance is better than to the one that is closer.

Below there is a table showing the analysis results. Within the distance of 20 km, the largest number of people live in the area of Warsaw Chopin Airport (nearly 2 million), followed by Łódź, the smallest population was indicated near the not yet active airport in Szymany (52 thousand), a little larger in Babimost (80 thousand) and Goleniów (98 thousand). This is due to the fact that the location of the latter airports is outside the main city.

The table contains the number of people living in the buffer zones of 20 km, 50 km and 100 km from the airports in Poland.

In the analysis of the second buffer, the situation is changing. The leader is Katowice Airport in Pyrzowice (population of 3.3 million), slightly smaller number of people live in the vicinity of Warsaw Chopin Airport and Warsaw Modlin Airport. On the other hand, the area at the distance of 50 km from Szymany has the population of only 444 thousand, Babimost – 622 thousand, and Goleniów and Radom – less than 900 thousand.

The area within the radius of 100 km from each of the analysed airports has the population of over one million inhabitants, with the majority near Kraków Airport and Katowice Airport (over 7 million), which is easy to predict, given the fact that the two airports are close to each other. More than 5 million people live less than 100 km far from the airports in Warsaw, Modlin and Radom. The smallest number of people live in the area of Goleniów and Szymany (1.5 and 1.7 million).

The map clearly shows that potential passengers are often located in the area of at least two, and sometimes more, airports, which reduces the potential of a given airport due to the competition of the neighbouring airport. For a passenger, the proximity to several airports is a positive factor, as they can choose between the carriers and the directions of flights and fares. Airport managers must try harder to win new passenger.

It seems that the airports in Gdańsk and Szczecin have the lowest competition in Poland, while the authorities of Radom Airport are facing the toughest task, as in the radius of about 100 kilometres there are also ports in Lublin, Łódź, and Warsaw in particular. When analysing the impact range of the airports in the vicinity of Radom Airport, it has been calculated that 609,000 people living within 100 km from Radom are located more than 100 km far from other airports. This is indicated by the pink polygon on the map of airport impact ranges.

To sum up, it should be very carefully considered whether Poland needs more airports. It could be a better idea to modernise and improve the existing airports and access to them.

The cheapest way is to learn from other countries that have made a lot of mistakes by building unnecessary infrastructure and spending EU money.
