7th International Forum on Air Transport in Remoter Regions
Location: Headland Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, UK
Introduction:
The aim of the CATRR is to provide a focal point for the dissemination of knowledge and best practise in the operation, management, financing and regulation of air services and air transport infrastructure in remoter regions. Aside from organising the biennial Forum, the Centre’s staff publish research papers and undertake collaborative studies with other research organisations from across the globe. A panel of international experts has been established, with representatives from each continent.
In 1998, the Department of Air Transport at Cranfield completed a major study comparing air transport systems across Europe for the Norwegian CAA. It became apparent to those involved in the work that there was relatively little research into the provision of air transport infrastructure and air services in the more remote parts of Europe. An idea was suggested that we organise a Forum devoted to the topic, to which we could invite speakers from organisations engaged in operating, managing, financing and regulating air services and airports in such areas from across Europe. The Forum was held in Nairn in 1999 and attracted some 50 delegates and speakers. As a result of the success of the Forum, the event has become a biennial event and now attracts participants from across the world. In view of the wide interest generated by these conferences, it seemed appropriate that we should establish a Research Centre devoted to the provision of air transport in the remoter regions of the world.
