OpenAlex English

The aim of the study is to analyze some economic indicators that are thought to have an impact on airline passenger transfer (the number of passengers carried) in Türkiye in the period 1988-2022. As airline transportation has become more widely used than other types of transportation today, and as a result of the opening of new airports and large investments made in airline transportation, the economic contributions of these investments have recently found a place in academic studies. In light of these developments, this study aims to analyze the effects of economic growth, inflation, urbanization and interpersonal social globalization index on the number of passengers carried by airline in Türkiye. The ARDL method was used in the model and it was determined that urbanization had a positive effect on the number of passengers carried by airline. In addition, when the results of the model were examined, it was determined that inflation had a negative effect on the number of passengers carried by airline. Again, according to the ARDL results, it was determined that there was no significant relationship between the number of passengers carried by airline and economic growth and interpersonal social globalization index.
