Demand analysis at Tanah Grogot Airport East Kalimantan

Abstract

Tanah Grogot Airport is an airport proposed by the Paser Regency Regional Government to facilitate the people's movement. During this time, the people of Paser Regency have to travel long distances with long travel time between regions. The airport's presence is expected to be able to have shorter travel time between regions because the transportation access between regions is already equipped with air transportation. If there are people or foreign tourists who want to travel quickly, they can use air transportation at this airport. Thus, it is necessary to analyze whether Tanah Grogot Airport has sufficient demand, which will affect the continuity of the airport's operations. The analysis in this research considers the following variables, i.e., the land and air accessibility based on travel time, vehicle operating costs, the flight network, market share value, and analysis of demand from the existing airports to Tanah Grogot Airport. The method uses stated preference and binary logistic regression. The outcome of this research is the estimation of demand at Tanah Grogot Airport East Kalimantan.
