The use of light aircraft in domestic transport in Poland

The work concerns the analysis of the possibilities of using light aircraft in the regional passenger transport. This analysis was based on the existing airport infrastructure in Poland. Between 43 existing airports with paved runways and length more than 1,000 meters potential routes of aircraft traffic were set. The study compared the light aircraft transport to the car transport. One of the benchmark criteria was the travel time between different destinations, using both means of transport. The second criterion is the financial aspects of travel. For this purpose, a statistics of light aircraft and calculated their Direct Operating Cost as a function of various parameters such as maximum weight, the number of passenger seats, cruise speed were created. Analysis also included air navigation charges on the routes and the operator profit. The calculations allowed identifying potential routes where the plane would be competitive with the car in terms of travel time and costs by one person. The number of these routes was dependent on the speed of travel, the number of seats on the plane as well as the fill factor of these seats. The analysis also applies to determine the number of passengers traveling between the regions. In 2013, domestic air transport handled less than 2.5 million passengers, which in comparison to the countries of Western Europe is a poor result. This is caused mainly by a small amount of domestic routes as well as a small number of regional airports. The implementation of the concept of using light aircraft in regional connections aims to increase the speed of travel, increase the safety in passenger transport, cost reduction and partial replacement of road transport by air transport.
