High-Speed Train and Airports Integration. The case of the first Spanish private airport:

Aeropuerto Central Ciudad Real

Escolástico Gonzalez Lopez28.09.09

A historic perspective of transport in Spain

1900 – 1950 The railway becomes the main transport in medium and long distance.

From 1940 to 2005 an only public operator manages the infrastructure network and the travelers operator

1950 – 1980 The car becomes the main character due to the improvement of technology and the creation of a wide roads network.

All the public policy focuses on road transport. Roads manage 90% of the passenger traffic and 80% of the cargo traffic

1980 – 2000 Aircraft gains market share within the peninsula

LCC’s start operating in the Spanish market in 1998, this fact boosts the air industry

2000– 2010 The railway emerges upon the arrival of the high-speed train The railway becomes a competitor of aircraft

Nowadays, conventional railways are being transformed for the cargo transport. The railways correspond to those corridors that may be used for the cargo transport once high-speed train becomes operative. The construction of new alternatives to the conventional network. The enlargement of current network capacity. The reinforcement of the connection between railway network and the main State seaports. Ciudad Real Airport is building a cargo terminal that enables the connection to the conventional train network.

High-Speed Network

30 Spanish cities will be connected through high-speed train network 90% of the Spanish population will be living less than 50 kms away from a station In 2012, Spain will be the first country in the world with a higher number of Kms of high- speed train network

All the provinces capital cities will be connected to the high-speed train network High-speed network will connect both Iberian Peninsula countries, Spain and Portugal. Madrid –Lisboa The European South East axis will connect Spain to France through high-speed train (2010) Ciudad Real airport will be the first Spanish airport to be directly connected to the high-speed network

Year 2005 In 2005, a new Spanish railway network shows up as a consequence of the application of EU directives. - There is a split between infrastructure and operator. - Renfe stops being a monopoly and cargo transport is liberalised.

New Spanish railway network

The application of new EU directives in 2010/11 will imply the liberalization of railway pax transport Ciudad Real airport intends to become one of the new railway operators

During 2010, the airports de-centralization process starts and Regional administrations will participate. The first de-centralised airports will be Madrid, Barcelona and Palma. The Spanish public airport network managed in 2008 203 million pax. Thr first 3 Spanish airports, Madrid, Barcelona and Palma amount 50 % of the air traffic. The air and airport industries are bound to Spanish tourism, which is the State’s first national income source. Strong presence of LCC’s.

Spain’s physical characteristics: Population and territory layout

During the last 25 years, a road and railway radial communications system has been maintained, connecting the center to the coasts of Spain.

The high capacity road network, highways and toll highways, keeps on expanding (from 13.000 kms to 18.000 kms in 2020)

This roads network has encouraged the competitiveness of bus and private car.

However, the radial distances in the peninsula (400 – 600 kms from Madrid to all the periferic cities) make the AVE become the main transport means over the next 25 years.

The distances in the Iberian Peninsula thorugh high-speed train network will be no more than 2.5 hours from the center of Spain to the periferic areas.

The Spanish State bet on the high-speed train, including the construction of 10,000 kms of network, becomes a new way of understanding the territorial structure, more environmentally-friendly and more energy-efficient. High-speed train is 100% feeded by electric power, there is no pollution in the cities. Since Spain is a leader in renewable power, the usage of it will reduce its impact on the AVE.

AVE & Airports Integration: High-speed train and aircraft - competitors

Spanish airports only have a conventional track railway connection from the airport to downtown

High-speed railway tracks have not been designed to be present at the airports.

Both modes, air and high-speed railway are competing in the Peninsula domestic relations. Madrid – Barcelona Madrid – Málaga Madrid - Sevilla

Market Share Train + Airplane Point to Point

Currently, there aren’t intermodality development in Spain

There are any projects for connect the airplane with the train, example: Málaga and Barcelona

Others cities haven’t the connection. Only there are connections air-land

Service networks and passenger transport intermodality

The case of the first Spanish private airport: Aeropuerto

Central Ciudad Real

European Policy: White Book 2010

The combination on the same spot of an airport, a high-speed train station (AVE), high-capacity roads, and a dry port, makes the project become a powerful concentration of diverse transportation platforms enabling it to locate itself in a strategic position as far as the peninsula and southern Europe transits are concerned.

•Intermodal development through different means of transportation, especially between air mode and railway. •Involvement of mobility systems and more sustainable means of transport•Complimentary use of the High-speed train and Airport

Adif and the Fomento Ministry approve the AVE train station

project on February 16, 2009. This will enable Central Airport to be less

than an hour away from Madrid.

First airport in Spain with AVE connection and with a potential of 20

million passengers.

Nowadays, 56 daily frequencies (Avant, AVE and Altaria) are under

operation in the high-speed South corridor in connection to Madrid.

Aeropuerto Central Ciudad Real, through its territorial layout, is able to reduce to the minimum size the social

and economic costs of intermodality (less financial cost, less environmental cost) and it may ease permeability

conditions among transportation modes.

Less than 2 minutes access to any type of transportation mode. The airport and its logistics platform are

configured as an XXI-century airport city, offering all kind of services to customers and users.

The first airport in Spain with AVE connection

High-speed connection

Configured as an excellent integration point of road, air and railway (AVE +

conventional) transport for passengers and cargo

Elapsed time in the coupling (2 minutes) and uncoupling (1 minute) is faster than time needed for the passengers to

get on or get off the train

A. 2. Station AVE. Features

Direct Connection with two railway networks: international and conventional. Connection with speed-high (AVE): Madrid, Ciudad Real, Puertollano, Cordoba, Sevilla, Málaga, Cádiz, Huelva. Connection with conventional: Extremadura and any regional localities of Castilla-La Mancha (Almagro, Daimiel,

Manzanares, Alcázar de San Juan, Criptana, Albacete. etc.)

High-speed train pax evolution: South Corridor

The South Corridor high-speed train pax traffic (Madrid Ciudad Real – Puertollano – Sevilla), according to estimations done by SPIM, has shown a rising trend in the period 2000 – 2006.

In 2000 this traffic reached 4,54 million pax whereas in 2006 the total traffic reached 5,93 million pax, this means a variation rate of 4,54%.

The network map and high-speed train traffic data are shown in the attached graphs.

Potential Demand Attraction

Potentially attracted streams:

Nowadays, the Puertollano – Madrid-Atocha shuttle transports approximately 1,3 million pax: each train may transport 230 pax, with a daily frequency of 16 trains. The proposal of a stop at Ciudad Real Airport, with a double-composition train, will attract a maximum amount of 1,3 million pax, generated by Ciudad Real Airport.

On the other hand, this traffic may provoke an additional 25% induced demand, so the traffic would increase up to 1,6 million pax.
