5 2. Connecting the UK s Economy Report November 2016 The report demonstrates how by improving surface access to the UK s airports for passengers, airport workers and freight, we can deliver material benefits to the wider economy.

6 3. How surface access boosts connectivity, productivity and the economy Some of the things we know Surface access investment schemes have among the highest benefit-cost ratios of all infrastructure investment The importance of consumer choice Allows airports to make best use of capacity & deliver an airports full economic potential Promoting a shift towards greater use of public transport Regular services encourage modal shift (i.e. adding capacity)

8 4. UK Surface access policy Aviation Policy Framework 2013 National Infrastructure Commission Devolution Aviation Strategy 2017/8 Moving towards a more integrated transport strategy

9 5. Catalytic effect on the UK economy Modelling commissioned by the AOA shows that a 5% improvement in average journey times to/from airports can deliver a 2.7% increase in passenger numbers, generating an additional 1.9 billion per annum for the UK economy and supporting an additional 32,000 jobs 1/3 of these benefits are likely to accrue to local economy surrounding the airport

12 Increased connectivity facilitates economic activity that would otherwise not occur

13 6. The case for investment and key policy asks Recognising the full range of economic benefits strengthens the case for investment Wider benefits of investment - Who pays? Impact of improved infrastructure on trade, tourism, FDI and migration not always captured in transport planning Boosts connectivity

14 6. The case for investment and key policy asks 1. Assess the level of public transport infrastructure connecting UK airports and identify where there are gaps in present and future demand. 2. Ensure rail capcity assesments and highways agency route studies include airport access and compare passenger growth assesments and their impact on transport infrastructure.

15 6. The case for investment and key policy asks 3. Set out, with Network Rail and Highways England, how government will make decisions as to which surface access projkects at airports will be priotitiesed in the government s infrastructure plans 4. Improve transport appraisals to better capture the catalytic impacts of investment
