Indy airport reports decrease in boarding
(01/30/13 6:08am)
Last year, the Indianapolis International Airport reported the largest boarding decline in the past decade.Passenger boardings fell 2.2 percent last year, Director of Corporate Communications for the Indianapolis Airport Authority Carlo Bertolini said. The Indianapolis Airport Authority operates the Indianapolis Airport.Bertolini said boardings in December 2012 were down 6.6 percent compared to December 2011.Arrivals in 2012 were down 2.5 percent from 2011, while departures were down 2.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.The average fare for flights at the Indianapolis Airport was $391 in mid-2012, while the average fare was $367 in mid-2011.Nationally, the average fares in mid-2011 and mid-2012 were $369 and $384, respectively.Bertolini said the decrease in boarding in December was due in part to a snow storm in December 2012."That was definitely impacted by the so called blizzard," he said. "That storm in late December counted for 147 cancellations. Four percent of flights were cancelled."On Dec. 26, 2012, 7.5 inches of snow fell at the Indianapolis International Airport, according to a report from the National Weather Service.Bertolini said the airport is looking for ways to help support lower costs."To remain as competitive as possible for other airports, look for sources of non-airline revenue," he said.Non-airline revenue includes revenue from food and drinks, as well as leasing space on airport property. Bertolini said there is a good amount of land near the airport which is not traditionally available."A solar farm is a use for the land, we get revenue and the developer gets to create energy that’s an example of a non-airline source of revenue we are able to tap into by being creative and innovate," Bertolini said.Bertolini said the boarding decrease is definitely nationwide, except for airports with hubs such as Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, which is home to American Airlines, and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, home to United Airlines.He said airports are now more disciplined about scheduling too many flights.Airlines have been a lot more focused on profits than market share," Bertolini said. "In the old days, if one of the competitors opened a route from Indianapolis to Boston, other airlines might match that."Bertolini also said mergers have had a large effect on airports.He said one of the airports that was effected by airline mergers was the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, when Northwest Airlines and Delta Airlines merged in October 2008.Delta decreased the amount of flights coming out of the Cincinnati hub and jobs were lost as a result."Whenever you have mergers, you get less choice for the consumer. It tends to reduce capacity and drive up prices," Bertolini said.
