The impact of additional passengers on airport employment: The case of German airports.

The paper analyses the relationship between air traffic and on-site employment for 17 German airports categorised as international airports. The empirical analysis includes several regressions using data on passenger numbers and workload units handled as well as employment data structured into different job categories. The paper suggests a rule of thumb that one million additional passengers per annum generate 500 on-site jobs at German airports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
