| Description | The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in April 2010 blocked air transport in significant part of Europe and influenced international as well as long-distance domestic passenger transport. Airports throughout Europe stayed closed so that thousands of passengers had to cancel their journey or to find another possibility to reach their destinations; in this case they had to choice an alternative transport mode. The aim of the paper is to analyse a short-run effect of shock changes in transport services supply. The question to be answered is in what capacity air passengers prefer rail against road transportation in case of air transportations break down. |
