Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Most travelers only get to know the large airports when traveling on business or going on holiday. In stark contrast to airports such as London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Madrid, Zurich, or others of this size that serve as global hubs, there are however hundreds of medium and small airports in Europe that sometimes act as their spokes. These small airports, which are often not even connected to global hubs, are the focus of this book. They play a crucial role for their local communities in terms of daily needs, work, "ethnic travel" (visiting friends and relatives back home), medical assistance, and tourism. In many cases, alternative means of transport (e. g. by sea or road) either do not exist or would take much longer, making these airports indispensable. These airports are predominantly located on islands, within exclaves, or in very remote areas on the mainland. Among the airports described in this book, it include the world's northernmost commercial airport, the only airport in the world with a runway on the beach, and the two airports with the shortest scheduled flight between them in the world. Most of the flights offered are subsidized through PSO contracts to ensure regular scheduled air services, often at reduced fares, especially for local residents. Actual numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic show that the number of routes and flights was negatively affected only to a minor extent. The fact that passenger numbers did not decline as much as at the larger airports shows just how crucial the role of the airports described in this book is for the communities they serve. This book is specifically aimed at students of aviation and aviation enthusiasts who want to get to know the hidden gems of Europe. Grab your copy of this special book and discover all the hidden places throughout Europe. This item is printed on demand.
