A first overview of the prevalence of air traffic by country is given in Figure 2. Malta, with more than 60 per cent of traffic being air transport, and both Cyprus and Ireland with more 40 per cent, have the highest share of air trips in total trips taken in 2014, closely followed by the UK with a share of about 30 per cent. One of the main reasons for this might be the countries’ geographical size and island nature. All three countries have a high share of overall outbound traffic, as depicted in Figure 1, since air travel is usually the most feasible option to access other European countries. Romania, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic have the lowest share of air trips in total transport trips compared to the other European countries. Portugal, France, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia all have a share of less than 10 per cent (see Figure 1).

EU28 and EFTA Available airline seats per capita
Figure 3 shows the distribution of supplied airline seats by country, e.g. distinguished by seats provided nationally and to destinations within the EU. Non-EU destinations and corresponding seats are excluded from the analysis since the focus of the study is on the demand for trips within Europe. The supplied airline seats in Figure 3 correlate with the population size of a country, e.g. the more inhabitants in a country, the higher the absolute amount of offered seats to and from that country. Norway is the country with the highest share of national seats offered in relation to total seats, with 65 per cent. This might be due to the geography and shape of this country with long distances and sparse population density. The same applies for Sweden and Finland with national seats accounting for 47 per cent and 37 per cent, respectively. Italy, France and Spain also have high shares of national air traffic with 47 per cent, 45 per cent and 37 per cent, respectively. These three countries also have a high share of domestic transport considering all transport modes (Figure 1). For Spain and France, the large country size and the existence of few but large urban centres contribute to the high level of domestic traffic, which serves as a fast connection alternative. Another correlation can be detected looking at the GDP per capita and the number of air trips per capita. This correlation has already been investigated by different studies and is addressed in Section I. A more detailed focus on the relationship between these factors on a European level will also be outlined in Section IV.
