Abstract Airport accessibility is an important criterion for airport competition. The relevance of airport accessibility and airport competition was studied in this paper based on the panel data collected from nine large airports in Jiangsu province, China from 2005 to 2014. The results showed that the cost of expense, time and fatigue for the arrival at the airport are proposed to quantify levels of fastness, economy and amenity for the passengers to arrive at airport. The airport accessibility is significantly affected by airport passenger traffic and airline frequency. The passenger traffic can be increased by 2% with 1% increase of airport accessibility based on the analysis results of the nine large airports in Jiangsu province.
Highlights The method of quantifying airport accessibility can scientifically reflect the degree of convenience for airport passengers. The higher the level of accessibility is, the stronger competitiveness of the airport will be. The accessibility of airport has significant relevance with indexes such as passenger scale and number of airlines. When the level of airport accessibility rises by 1%, the passenger volume will increase by 2%.
