The mobility of passengers and goods is fundamental to economic and social activities. Every movement has a purpose, an origin a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination and a nature linked to geographical attributes.
Mobility is supported and guided by transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals that enable individuals, institutions, companies, regions and nations to interact and to carry out economic, social, cultural or political activities (Rodrigue et al., 2006).
Understanding how mobility is linked to the geography of transport and airports becomes a key element in the research on the links between spatial organization and people, goods and information including in the analysis attributes and constraints related to the origin, the destination, extension, nature and purpose of mobility (Spinedi, Spirito, 2017).
Transport geography takes the form of a sub-discipline of geography that deals with the movement of goods, people and information, seeking to link spatial constraints and attributes with origin, destination, extent, nature and purpose of the movements (Rodrigue et al., 2006).
Within this view, the session seeks to analyze the interactions between territories and air transport, identifying how the transports influence the territories they serve or cross (Dobruszkes 2012).
The research focus is on air transport in particular, a phenomenon that can be represented by means of networks, which, as an anthropic manifestation, contributes to shaping the pattern of interactions in geographical space, helping to form channels along which along which economic development and human relations are directed (Borruso, 2011).
