Het passagierspotentieel van de Luchthaven Twente

The Province of Overijssel is about to take a decision on 16 June 2010 about the future development of Twente Airport. Based on its own assumptions, the Province foresees in 2020 a range of 190.000 to 5.200.000 passengers. This estimation has not yet taken into account a further growth until 2030. For the analysis in the Cost Benefit Analysis, carried out for the year 2030, the Province has assumed a passenger number of 1,2 millions, together with 30.000 tons of air cargo.
The Vereniging Omwonenden Luchthaven Twente (VOLT-Twente) has asked SEO Economic Research in Amsterdam to bring out a second opinion on the plausibility of these projections. Given the very short time available for this analysis, no new model computations have been made, nor have new data been collected and used.
Nevertheless, this second opinion entails a short analysis of realistic order of magnitude of the passenger potential to be expected.
