Economy. In June 2012 she finished her PhD about the airport choice for scheduled freighter operations in Europe and is now working as a post-doc researcher at the
Department of Transport and Regional
Economy
.
PhD research:
Air transport research has
already dedicated significant time to the analysis both of how passengers
choose their airports as well as the airport choice of passenger airlines. On
the other hand, much less research has been carried out with regards to cargo
operators and their choice of airports. However, air cargo is currently no
longer seen as a by-product of passenger transport. Some airports even specialize
in air cargo. That is why there is also a need to understand the relationship
between air cargo operators and airports. This need is addressed in the
PhD which will allow for better comprehension of how airlines choose
their airports for scheduled freighter operations and ultimately how airports can form their strategies to attract
air cargo carriers.
