Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
The recent ban on ultra-short haul flights and their replacement by rail transport have been adopted in several European Union countries to reduce aviation's environmental footprint. However, the upcoming introduction of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles offers a potential way to reclaim these routes, heralding a paradigm shift in personal mobility. Airlines, though, will face challenges in aircraft selection since eVTOLs differ significantly from the banned aircraft, primarily in terms of size and payload capacity.
Therefore, the specific objectives of this project are as follows:
1. Identify the routes that are currently banned or are expected to be banned in the near future;
2. Determine the types of aircraft that operated on these routes and assess their traffic levels;
3. Explore the potential list of eVTOLs that can replace these aircraft;
4. Define a set of criteria to select the most appropriate eVTOL for the specific characteristics of each route and
5. Discuss the findings with respect to airport perspective.
