Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This papaer deals with the application of disaggregate modeling in airport choice by domestic air travelers in Nigeria. The major factors influencing passengers' choice of airports in a developing country such as Nigeria are discussed. Knowledge of these factors will greatly assist in the planning of aviation systems on a more reliable basis. A travel survey was conducted in August 1987 in Nigerian airports to collect disaggregate data on air travelers for use in model calibration using the multinomial logit model (MNL). The results of the analysis suggest that the travel time of access is the major determinant of airport choice in Nigeria and that variables such as flight frequency and air fare, which were found to be significant in previous studies in the United Kingdom and the United States, were not significant in the Nigerian context.
