The article presents an analysis of the activities of regional airports in France in 2019. The growth of passenger traffic was observed in those airports that actively developed cooperation with budget airlines, increasing the number of destinations in the route network. Regional airports in France, whose route network structure did not expand in 2019, showed a slight decrease in passenger traffic (from –0.1% to –3%). The first and only experimental regional airport in France (city of Beziers), handling flights of only one budget airline, Ryanair, showed an increase in passenger traffic by 14.5% in 2019. The share of routes of budget airlines in the structure of the route network of regional airports in France is quite high. The key problems of regional airports in Russia are the low passenger traffic and the underdeveloped route network. Due to the presence of the only national budget airline "Pobeda" on the market and the minimal impact on the segment of budget air transportation of foreign airlines, the share of budget air transportation destinations in the structure of regional airports of the Russian Federation continues to remain at an extremely low level. 2019 showed a record growth in passenger traffic at regional airports in the Central Federal District (an increase from +2.8% to +262%, with the exception of Tambov Airport, whose passenger traffic fell by 57.4%), which indicates an increase in demand and the need to expand the route network of regional airports. On the example of the Voronezh airport, a model for the development of low-cost airline destinations is presented.

Based on the analysis of passenger traffic at the airports of the Moscow Aviation Hub and regional airports of the Central Federal District, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics of passenger traffic was assessed. As a result of the system analysis, it was concluded that the growth of passenger traffic at the airports of Yaroslavl and Kursk is due to the expansion of the internal route network. As a result of the introduction of temporary prohibitive and restrictive measures for international air transportation, there was an increase in demand for domestic destinations. The airports of Yaroslavl and Kursk, in the summer of 2020, opened regular flights to the resort cities of the Southern Federal District. Based on the analysis of passenger traffic dynamics, it is concluded that an important factor in the development of regional airports in the Central Federal District is their structural modernization. The current passenger traffic index of regional airports can be significantly increased if the runways and terminal complex are expanded. The results of the study can be applied in the development of a strategy for the development of regional airports, of which there are more than 200 as of 2021 on the territory of the Russian Federation and many of which need structural modernization. In the context of the development of the airport complex in the Russian market of passenger air transportation, there will be a dynamic increase in passenger traffic.

The fundamental goal of the research is to analyze the route network of the Kurumoch airport (Samara) and determine the percentage of flights of classic and budget airlines. Analysis of the structure of the route network of Kurumoch airport allowed us to conclude that the share of budget airlines remains at an extremely low level. Low-cost airlines operate only two international flights from the airport. There are no low-cost airlines in the structure of the domestic route network. Analysis of the route network of the airport in Voronezh, which is comparable to Samara airport in terms of passenger traffic, proved that the number of low-cost airline destinations is only 6,67 %. The data from the analysis of the route network of airports in the North Caucasus Federal district, where the share of destinations of budget airlines is from 6,67 % to 62,50 %, served as evidence of the growth of passenger traffic at airports that actively develop cooperation with budget airlines. A significant number of airports in the North Caucasus Federal district, based on the results of operations in 2018, showed high passenger growth rates. The hypothesis of the research is the assumption that the development of low-cost air carriers in the structure of Kurumoch airport (Samara), in the conditions of overcoming the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, can serve as the main factor of growth and development. The author of the study presents the data from the analysis of the route network of the two largest budget airlines in Europe: «Ryanair» and «EasyJet» in the structure of the airport of Bordeaux (France). The share of European budget airlines in the structure of the route network of regional airports in France ranges from 30 % to 80 %, which allows regional airports to demonstrate high passenger traffic. A significant share of low-cost airlines flights is made up of short-and medium-length flights (from 500 to 1 000 km), which allows us to achieve high performance indicators of the aircraft fleet, which is a fundamental factor in the strategy of low-cost airlines. The result of the study is the conclusion that the development of low-cost airline destinations can become a key driver for the development of regional airports in Russia. As a justification for the conclusion, the author presents a model for the development of promising destinations for budget airlines and provides data on the possible growth of annual passenger traffic at Kurumoch airport (Samara) when opening destinations for low-cost airlines.

The 2020 crisis caused by the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive influence on the development of regional air travel. Against the background of an overall drop in passenger traffic exceeding 40%, a number of airports in the Southern Federal District have demonstrated positive development dynamics. With the opening of regular flights to cities in the Southern Federal District and the Republic of Crimea, a number of airports in the Central Federal District and the Volga Federal District by the end of 2020 increased passenger traffic due to the development of the domestic route network. The Russian air passenger market demonstrated high growth and development rates during the period of 2009–2019. The underlying factors of growth and development were the implementation of the subsidizing regional air routes program, the development of competition and the increase in the growth rate of production of the regional jet “SSJ-100”. According to the results of activities at the end of 2020, the Russian regional airline (a mono-operator of the “SSJ-100” jet) demonstrated the lowest rate of passenger traffic reduction. The airline also increased its aircraft fleet by 2 units and expanded its regional route network. The Republic of Crimea is a strategically important region of the Russian Federation. Modernization of the regional logistics complex, which includes the development of regular flights to the regions of the Russian Federation, is a priority task of domestic policy. Based on the structural analysis of the air passenger market and the regional logistics system, a model for creating a regional budget airline for the Republic of Crimea is proposed. The result of overcoming the 2008 crisis on the European air passenger market was the strengthening of the role and influence of the budget airlines (increase in market share from 15% to 50% from 2009 to 2019). The low-cost air transportation segment of the Russian market demonstrates high potential for development due to growing demand. The development of regional air transportation is one of the key factors in the development of the national aircraft construction system. The results of the study can be used in developing a strategy for the aviation logistics system of the Republic of Crimea, as well as in developing strategies for the development of regional airports on the island and peninsular territories.

The article analyzes the activities of the budget airline Fly Arystan of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the market of passenger air transportation in the low-cost segment. The pricing policies of Fly Arystan airline and the largest European low-cost airline EasyJet (Great Britain) are considered. The data of government support for the development of the budget passenger air transportation market are provided. Based on the Fly Arystan development concept and plans to expand the aircraft fleet there are presented the possible options for expanding the domestic and international route network. The experience of the Russian low-cost airline Pobeda (Aeroflot Group) related to the expansion of the route network is presented. The key factors of the development efficiency of the segment of budgetary passenger air transportation in the Republic of Kazakhstan are measures of state support for updating and expanding the aircraft fleet (subsidizing leasing), modernizing the ground air transport infrastructure, energy self-sufficiency due to the regional production and refining petroleum products, and a favorable geographical position. With the successful of the development of the national system of passenger air transportation the Republic of Kazakhstan may become a leading regional market player. The development priority direction should be the concept of connecting flights through the main hubs (Nur-Sultan, Almaty) in the following areas: the Russian Federation (Southern Federal District, Volga Federal District, Ural Federal District, Siberian Federal District) – the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Uzbekistan , The Republic of Tajikistan. Developing the geography of the budget passenger air transportation, the Republic of Kazakhstan creates favorable conditions for the competition. The development of a network of regional and international destinations supports the system of national and international tourism, the participants of which are enterprises of the small and medium-sized business segment, which contributes to an increase in tax payments to the regional and republican budgets.

The liberalization of the aviation market has enabled low-cost airlines to take over a significant share in the aviation market. Benefits of low-cost models are multiple, both for passengers and for secondary and regional airports, which were neglected in the past and which record significant inflow of passengers with the arrival of low-cost airlines. In the structure of the air traffic in the Republic of Croatia in the last ten years, there has been a progressive growth of foreign low-cost airline operations, which suggests a potential for the operation of a Croatian low-cost airline. This paper defines the criteria applicable to modelling of a low-cost airline in the Republic of Croatia in the relevant context of fleet management, route networking and operator’s processes in traffic technology. It analyzes the dynamics of low-cost airlines operations in the structure of air traffic in Croatia and the impact of traffic on the status of airports and the national operator. KEY WORDS: low-cost airline, traditional airline, airport, route network, fleet management

Introduction. Given the current complex realities of conducting aviation business in a pandemic, the application of large-scale measures to combat its spread, as well as taking into account the development of liberalization of the air market, analysis of the effectiveness of Ukrainian airlines and identify current trends in Ukraine's air transportation market is an important task. The purpose of the paper is to investigate state of air transportation market in Ukraine in dynamics, to identify current trends and status of national airlines. Results. After the recession of 2014-2015, the volume of international passenger traffic by domestic airlines increased during the period 2016-2019. In 2020, it decreased by 76 %. At the same time, passenger traffic of Ukrainian airlines decreased by 65 % compared to 2019. Over the past five years, Ukraine’s air transportation market has evolved from highly concentrated to moderately concentrated. During this period, domestic airlines were more active in carrying out charter flights, while foreign airlines began to dominate in performing regular and scheduled flights with active participation of leading European low-cost airlines. Analysis of the market share of airlines with the largest volumes of passenger air traffic in air market of Ukraine showed that over past three years there has been a rapid decline in market shares of leading network airlines, both domestic and foreign. There was a rapid growth of market shares of foreign airlines – low-cost carriers. Conclusions. The changes identified in the air transportation market of Ukraine can be explained not only by the consequences of the pandemic, but also by the consequences of air transportation market liberalization. The signing of the Agreement on the Common Aviation Area in September 2021 between Ukraine and the EU will have a direct impact on the development of air transportation market of Ukraine, both in terms of supply and demand. Domestic airlines will be able to benefit from market liberalization only if they increase their competitiveness.
