It includes the key data items, definitions of concepts, and a list of sources for the information. Many airports may already have the air service metrics, and many stakeholder organizations may already have the socioeconomic data. Putting them together will enable the needed analyses. However, some caution is necessary: the two kinds of data likely will not match each other in geographic coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This section includes 14 case studies of different airport regions. The case studies reflect commercial service airports of all sizes and service patterns (those with domestic service only and those with international flights) and regions with different economic strengths. Two case studies feature operations from air cargo and freight carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Finally, the research team offers some general observations drawn from those case studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Continue reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"toc\"><a href=\"..\/basic-metrics-of-air-service\/\">Basic Metrics of Air Service<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"toc\"><a href=\"..\/measuring-changes-in-regions-economy-and-its-economic-strength\/\">Measuring Changes in a Region\u2019s Economy and Its Economic Strength<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"toc\"><a href=\"..\/airport-catchment-areas-and-statistical-areas-differ\/\">Airport Catchment Areas and Statistical Areas Differ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"toc\"><a href=\"..\/case-studies\">Case Studies <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"toc\"><a href=\"..\/general-observations-of-the-case-studies\/\">General Observations from the Case Studies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Quick Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"..\/acrpwebresource12\/getting-started\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Getting-Started-1.png\" alt=\"Getting started\" class=\"wp-image-501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Getting-Started-1.png 585w, https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Getting-Started-1-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 85vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"..\/acrpwebresource12\/measuring-air-service-and-regional-economic-activity\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Measuring-block-\u2013-1.png\" alt=\"Measuring\" class=\"wp-image-484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Measuring-block-\u2013-1.png 585w, https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Measuring-block-\u2013-1-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 85vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"..\/acrpwebresource12\/understanding-air-service-and-regional-economic-activity\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Understanding-block-\u2013-1.png\" alt=\"Understanding\" class=\"wp-image-485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Understanding-block-\u2013-1.png 585w, https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Understanding-block-\u2013-1-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 85vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"..\/acrpwebresource12\/communicating-the-airports-contributions-to-the-regional-economy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Communicating-block-\u2013-1.png\" alt=\"Communicating\" class=\"wp-image-483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Communicating-block-\u2013-1.png 585w, https:\/\/crp.trb.org\/acrpwebresource12\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/07\/Communicating-block-\u2013-1-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 85vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Measuring Air Service and Regional Economic Activity This section offers an overview of the basic measures of air service and socioeconomic data that are most relevant to understanding and quantifying the relationship between the two concepts.
