La bonificación de las tarifas aéreas a los residentes en los territorios no peninsulares de Espa?a (1993–2018)

摘要

The management of air fare discount programmes for residents on island territories in Europe offers rich statistical information that is hardly exploited in the academic world due to the difficulties of access to it. Thanks to a set of data obtained through parliamentary inquiries, a characterisation of the current Spanish model is offered, as well as an approximation to the air mobility patterns of the residents in the overseas regions. The results not only show a very different behaviour depending on the island of residence, but also warn about undesired repercussions of the discount on fares, about a limited social access to the discount in some corridors and islands or about the high concentration of air trips in a reduced number of residents.? Based on this, some of the existing alternatives for a reform of the model, aimed at seeking greater social equity in the context of an ecological transition, are outlined.
