636.0 KB | PDF

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) produced a comprehensive report on the location costs of German air transport on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). The study by the DLR Institute of Air Transport analyses the framework conditions for air traffic in Germany in a European comparison and identifies possible measures to improve competitiveness.

Advanced Air Mobility

"Navigating the hype cycle: a close look at the unit economics of Advanced Air Mobility"

How much will a ticket for air taxis cost in the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market? And what is the market potential? These questions are the focus of a joint market study by Roland Berger and the DLR Institute of Air Transport. The study examines the cost modelling of 'electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing' (eVTOL) services and the economic potential of this mode of transport.

Non-CO2-Effects

CLIMATE IMPACT OF AIR TRANSPORT Scientific knowledge, developments and measures

The brochure (in German), produced in collaboration with the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), explains how air traffic influences the climate, in particular through the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and non-CO2 climate effects such as contrail cirrus, nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) and aerosols.
