Smaller airports become more efficient with specialisation.
“Smaller airports become more efficient with specialisation (Ripoll-Zarraga et al., 2023).”
From Airports’ public infrastructure and sources of inefficiency (2023) · cites this paper as Ripoll-Zarraga et al., 2023
Section 3.5 (page unavailable) reports that small airports handle aircraft traffic cheaply and have high punctuality, supporting efficiency in a specific activity. The Discussion and conclusions (page unavailable) identifies Vitoria’s strength in cargo efficiency. Neither passage shows that smaller airports become more efficient as a result of specialisation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
