The role of inter-island air transport in the Canary Islands
Journal of Transport Geography, 12 (3):
235-244 (2004/9)Zusammenfassung
The Canary Islands depend almost completely on air transport for the
inter-island distances usually exceeding 80-100 miles.1 Apart from
the transport of heavy cargo and that of low unit value by sea transport,
the rest of the traffic tends to choose this means. What is more,
tourism is developing in the main island and is highly dependent
on air transport. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the quality
of regular inter-island air transport in the Canary Islands, and
how this is incorporated into the Trans-Insular Transport Axis as
a social and economic integrating factor.
