The results revealed a wide range of factors influencing the mobility of low-income Sahelians, as well as significant spatial variability among the 40 delegations of the region. The daily trips frequency of this demographic seems to be determined by a combination of their socio-demographic and household characteristics, their mobility features, and their perceptions of the particulars of the available transportation options determined by their perceptions.

This study evaluates the feasibility and practical implications of implementing the FMC model in Porto, Portugal, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications. Employing a Weibull hazard-based survival model, the research draws on data from over 11,000 trips to explore the relationship between travel times and urban mobility patterns. Results show that approximately 70% of trips in Porto are completed within 15 min, indicating partial alignment with FMC principles. However, significant barriers persist, including low active mobility (AM) adoption (less than 40% of trips) due to cultural preferences for motorized transport, inadequate infrastructure, and limited public awareness of AM benefits. By identifying temporal thresholds and examining influential variables shaping modal choices, the study provides actionable insights into the challenges and opportunities of FMC implementation. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to shift societal attitudes and reduce reliance on private vehicles, proposing strategies such as enhancing pedestrian pathways, expanding cycling networks, and promoting mixed-use zoning. These efforts aim to foster sustainable, health-conscious urban settings, reduce traffic congestion, and improve residents’ quality of life.

We also explore the effects of other variables, including average airfares, night train connections, the presence of low-cost carriers, and the market concentration of airlines (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index). The empirical approach is rooted in a structural gravity model, incorporating recent advancements in gravity modeling. Our results show that improved rail travel speed has a significant impact on the number of airline passengers in a given city pair. Specifically, a 1 % increase in train travel speed corresponds to an overall decrease in air passengers of 0.55 %. This effect is more pronounced for domestic routes, with an average decrease of 0.74 %, as well as for shorter distances and business class passengers. For international connections only, however, the effect is insignificant, but the provision of a night train connection has the potential to shift passenger traffic from air services to train services by between 10 % to over 30 %.

Analysing data from Mongolia’s international aviation markets (2014–2023), this study examines market dynamics shaping flight frequencies, airline competition, and ticket prices. Findings indicate that on routes where additional flights and seat capacity are introduced if air travel demands do not keep pace, airlines are forced to lower fares to fill seats and thereby suffer from a reduced yield. High-frequency routes, such as those to Beijing, Seoul, Istanbul, and Tokyo, experience intense competition and aggressive pricing, putting additional pressure on yield. In view of the overall inverse relationship between yield and flight frequency, airlines seem to prioritise profitability on certain routes by limiting flights to maintain airfare levels. Mongolia’s market has largely been dominated by full-service carriers (FSCs) with a limited presence of low-cost carriers (LCCs). To enhance air connectivity and industry growth, the Mongolian aviation industry may explore options such as (a) enhancing efficiency in the aviation sector to reduce operational costs; (b) facilitating strategic alliances or route-based cooperations with foreign airlines; (c) introducing more flexibility and freedom in airline operation, notably on seat capacity and route choices in the high and low seasons; and (d) allowing LCC growth on domestic and regional routes, including but not limited to low cost subsidiary of incumbent full service airline. The Mongolian government should also promote national and foreign network carrier services linking major international hub airports with Mongolia’s main airport in conjunction with efforts to boost international tourism and e-commerce.
