Abstract | The purpose of this article is to investigate the infrastructure challenges for regional communities with regards to the provision of regional airfreight services. Through a critical discourse analysis, the findings assist in realising the latent meanings that have the effect of shaping policy, impacting on the regional airfreight sector. Four major themes provide empirical evidence to substantially address issues of infrastructure with regards to airfreight services including: business decision-making; cost of business; governmental advice; and the limits of integration in various levels of government decision-making processes. The results presented in this research provide a framework to assist in clarifying the issues associated with regional airfreight provision. There is a notable gap in academic literature that focuses on the role of regional aviation in the logistics industry. To the best of our knowledge, no paper has yet sought to investigate the discourse that impacts on this sector. It is hoped that the outcomes of this research will support the industry and policy makers in future efforts towards the economic development of regional communities, and the progression of the regional aviation sector. |
