Analysis of airport choice modeling in multi-airport regions

The analysis of multi-airport systems' competition is a topic widely discussed in the literature due to its importance for airports and airlines planning. It's necessary to understand the set of attributes of level of service considered by the air transportation user at the time of airport choice in order to capture and predict his behavior when dealing with alternative. In general, access time to the airport, flight frequency and price represent the determinants variables of airport choice, but with different degrees of relative importance, depending on the region and the cluster in analysis. Thus, this work intend to analyze the evolution of studies designed to simulate the passenger's choice in multi-airport regions, addressing the differences between main methods used and results obtained.
