This paper is aimed at examining the polarization and hierarchies arising in Europe in terms of air transport passengers’ flows and the possible levels of interaction and integration between nodes. In the paper we use Eurostat database of air passengers’ flows between the 27 EU countries as well as between city pairs. In this paper graph theory and network analysis are used, as well as a use of...

Given the potential health effects of fungi and the amount of time aircrew and passengers spend inside aircraft, it is important to study fungal populations in the aircraft environment. Research objectives included documenting the genera/species of airborne culturable fungal concentrations and total spore concentrations on a twin-aisle wide body commercial passenger aircraft. Twelve flights bet...

Abstract The unexpected arrival of COVID-19 significantly affected passenger behaviour and changed travel habits. This paper aims to assess mobility due the pandemic based on an online questionnaire survey conducted in two countries, Slovakia Czech Republic. focused evaluating importance rate selected factors depending means transport. We describe how most frequently used transport (regular hab...

Despite progress in air pollution control, concerns remain over the health impact of poor air quality. Governments increasingly issue air quality information to enable vulnerable groups to avoid exposure. Avoidance behaviour potentially biases estimates of the health effects of air pollutants. But avoidance behaviour imposes a cost on individuals and therefore may not be taken in all circumstan...

Surveillance of drivers, pilots or passengers possesses significant potential for increased security within passenger transport. In an automotive setting the interaction can e.g. be improved by social awareness of an MMI. As further example security marshals can be efficiently positioned guided by according systems. Within this scope the detection of security relevant behavior patterns as aggre...

With the wide-spread adoption of information technology and the global diffusion of GIS, a large volume of digital spatial data continues to accumulate. In the field of domestic air travel, aggregate data at a fine geographic resolution have become available. For instance, ever since the enactment of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, all large certified domestic air carriers conducting sche...

This article summarizes air passenger rights in the UK post-Brexit, status of European Union (EU) law that has been retained by and how it is to be interpreted. It concludes practical terms there little material change date. Further, divergence unlikely due a combination statutory scheme adopted respect implementation Brexit Trade Cooperation Agreement (TCA) made with EU – unless until departs ...
