The Research Project
Participants: Joint Research Project of the Universities of Applied Sciences in Bad Honnef, Berlin and Bremen
Funding and Duration: Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research from 2005 to 2008
Topic: Benchmarking Study to investigate the Economic Performance of German Airports
Purpose: Results of the study are for Internal Use (and participating airports) rather than for Commercial Purposes
1. Introduction

Why German Airports?
Changing Institutional StructureFrom Public Utilities to partially Privatized AirportsNew Strategies & Organizational StructuresIncentive versus Low Powered Cost-Plus
Regulation Increasing Competition
Bad Performance of German Airports in ATRS and
TRL Studies
