Excursus: The development in Bremerhaven
Conclusions and future prospects
Structural challenges of the regions
Initial situation
Marginal position in addition to the geographical disadvantages
North Sea and Weser border economically underdeveloped region
Opening of the Wesertunnel 2004, new chances
Generally underdeveloped intermodal transport
Originally based on shipbuilding and fishing industry
Unemployment rate of appoximately 26 % purchasing power
Need of a fundamental structural change
- car-isochrones (30- and 45-min.)
- without consideration of the
opening of the Wesertunnel
close to Dedesdorf/ Kleinsiel (in 2004)
- proximity to the city center
- close to the fishing harbour as
provisions center and container
terminal
- immediate connection to BAB 27
The location
Historie
Airfield as an instrument of the business development
Business Location Location Factors
Function as a „hard“ location factor (know-how)
Potential of the development towards a business location
With given basic conditions
Location factor for already settled industries in the region
Business location itself through settlements nearby the airport
Integral part of an overall traffic system
High significance for economically underdeveloped regions
Politics, economy and Chambers constituted a stated action
Targeted actions for the improvement of the general conditions
Accessibility is demonstrably of high significance
Objective target was on the systematic structural improvement
Task: central share in the development of the infrastructure
Business LocationLocation factors
Traffic infrastructureCompetetive capability
Time sensitive transports require effective infrastructure
Use of positive impulses of EU-market / eastward enlargement
Requirements have to be fulfilled by the region
Airports rank third among investment decisions
Infrastructure reforms have to be consistent with structural reforms
Traffic infrastructureCompetetive capability
Globalisation, E-Commerce, B2B, B2C require mobility
Precondition: functioning / efficient transportation infrastructure
Air traffic: surety for a timely accessibility
SMBs will then be able to participate in global trade
Pre-condition: target-oriented development according to the requirements
Traffic infrastructureCompetetive capability
„The less a region / location is economically developed,the higher is the need for optimal connections
for (all) intermodal transport.“
Optimal flexibility paired with highest speed
Use of demand gaps as additional source of transportation
Connection between underdeveloped regions and economic centers
Traffic infrastructureCompetetive capability
The original infrastructure-task needs to be diversified
Besides operational readiness, potentials for the improvement of the revenue situation need to be opened up
Increase further settlements/ enhance attractiveness
Diversification lessens the dependency on air traffic
But: Investments in traffic infrastructure are already justified by the „serving character“
Objective target has to be: The creation of an attractive and impulse giving location factor/ business location
Acquisition and revenue factors
Diverse and positive impact on increase in employment
Infrastructure will improve employment rate and revenues with hindsight
Traffic infrastructureCompetetive capability
Competition among the regions demands best accessibility
Mobility needs of people and businesses
Traffic infrastructureCompetetive capability
Compliance with technical and security relevant equipment induces a continuous adaptation as needed
Bremerhaven: A microeconomic loss was taken with the perspective of the advantages for the national economy
Focus of the strategy was on business air traffic
Basis for the development
Subject of the development actions
The projected development
- Runway 16/34 with an overall length of 1.200 m
- In addition 100 m Stop- and Clearway on both ends of the runway
- IFR-lighting
- Permission for night flying
- Permission for instrument flying operation IFR incl. Airspace F
- Approval for airplanes up to 14 t
(beyond with the approval of the aeronautical authority)
- 24 hours air traffic operating with limitations between 10 pm
and 6 am
- Determination of a safe area according to § 17 aeronautical act
Subject of the development actions
The projected development
- Modern, architectural appealing terminal building
- 7 hangars with 6.000 sqm storage area
- On-site parking and single garages
- Service orientation and implementation of the service character
- Successive finishes through a considerable increase in business flying
- Distinct positive influence on the business development
- Share in the distinguishing of the upper center of Bremerhaven
- Development of freight and transportation services (24h-operation)
- Night- and Instrumental air traffic
- Settlement of „airport-affine“ business enterprises
Civil works I-III (1988-1991)(preliminary charges, contingency measure, SLB).............................................................
Civil works IV – VIII (1993 - 1996)(building construction, base operations, Hangar I - IV, maintenance, apron...................
Civil Works IX – XI (1997 - 2002)(Extension RWY 16/34, approach lighting system, Hangar VII, preparative measures)...
Out of the reminders of the civil works I – X (buildings of „OPTIMARE Sensortechnik AG“, Hangar VI etc.)

Future prospects
Further actions...
- continue the positive and sustainable effects of the development
- take measures which meet the given requirements and standards
- more consistent integration in business development concepts
- the corporation has to be enabled to provide and market areas
Best practise
Can this approach be transferred to other regional airports in the SEAPLANE countries?- reasons for settlement of companies at Bremerhaven Airport: good marketing or operational requirements, can other, non- aviation companies, settle at the airport
...an attractive ratio even for large airports- the aim was to become independant from limited volumens of landing fees- ownership an construction in the hand of the airport management instead of public development agency

Preview
Development from an airfield to a regional airport
- Establishment as a strong partner for business air traffic,
science, industry and enterprises
- Essential partner of the city-tourism, in the offshore field
as base for provision flights to the wind energy plants
(e.g. research platforms ahead of Borkum)
- Support of the relocation of pilots in 24-hour-service
- Adequate partner in the field of rescue/ rescue flights
Chances
Potentials, chances, alternative actions
- Connection to the single European market
- Logistic intersection for the regional business travel to Scandinavia,
Western and Eastern Europe
- Tourism to the North Sea Islands
- Regular scheduled transportation has to be increased
- Chances by means of the Columbus Cruise Center Bremerhaven
(CCCB)
- Enhancement of business, scheduled and charter traffic
- Attaining of a regional economically advantageous function
