abstract="This research investigates whether elderly air passengers exhibit different mode choice behavior in regard to airport ground access. Using survey data from a Taiwanese sample, our results show that elderly air passengers prefer to ask family members to drive them to the airport, while general passengers prefer to take a taxi. The results also indicate that &quot;safety&quot; is the most important item in the choice of access mode and &quot;user friendly&quot; and &quot;convenience for storing luggage&quot; as the next most important items for the elderly. Elderly passengers are found to be less likely to use public transport than private transport. Factors such as &quot;possessing a car in their household&quot;, &quot;carrying more luggage&quot;, &quot;spending more time spent in the vehicle&quot;, and &quot;higher ticket prices for public transport&quot; increase the propensity for the elderly to use private transport.<p />",
