Abstract

Interest in airport access improvement arises from such issues as road congestion on airport approaches and along the route to the city, traffic and environmental impacts on local residents, government transport policies and the economic effects of poor airport accessibility. Rail access offers a potential contribution to these issues and the aim of this paper is to discuss some of the complexities of airport rail access planning: the conflicting interests of diverse stakeholders, the high costs of rail access provision and the market for rail services. A range of airport examples in USA, Europe and Asia, is drawn on. The Australian issues are illustrated by reference to Melbourne.
