Title:

Regional Catalytic Economic Impacts and Noise-Damage Costs of Aviation Growth

Accession Number:

Abstract:

This paper develops an integrated methodology using aviation growth scenarios to highlight the interrelationships between the air transport industry, airport-community noise impacts, and regional economic growth. Community noise-damage costs at London Heathrow and the East Midlands airports are calculated under different flight operation scenarios. An econometric input-output model is then used to estimate traditional measures of direct, indirect, and induced economic impacts, as well as the catalytic benefits of aviation on regional economic productivity. Overall, the local airport noise damages are very small compared to the regional economic impacts from aviation growth. In addition, the magnitude of the wider catalytic economic impacts from to increased productivity and accessibility are much greater than the economic supply-chain impacts from the aviation sector itself.
