The global economy and the air transport business have been affected since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. As countries tighten restrictions on international movements, the growing emphasis on air cargo puts pressure on airports to maintain and upgrade their cargo policies, facilities, and operations. Hence, ensuring the competitiveness of cargo airports becomes pivotal for airports survival under the volatile global demand. The study aims to evaluate the importance of the competitiveness factors for cargo airports and identify areas for further improvement. The study applies the Best-Worst Method (BWM) to assess the cargo airports' competitiveness factors: 'Transport Capacity,' 'Airport Operations and Facility Capacity,' 'Economic Growth,' 'Financial Performance,' and 'Airport Brand Value.' The selected airports include Heathrow Airport, Aéroport de Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Hong Kong International Airport, and Incheon International Airport. The results identify 'Transport Capacity' as the most significant competitiveness factor, and Hong Kong International Airport the best performing cargo airport. This research forms a reference framework for evaluating cargo airports' competitive position, which may help identify airports' relative strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, this framework can also serve as a tool facilitating the strategic design of airports that may accommodate both air cargo and passenger demand flexibly under the demand uncertainty.

This paper deals with the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy. The effectiveness of investments for hydrogen energy R&D and constructions of hydrogen energy infrastructures can be evaluated by the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy, and it is evaluated by an AHP(analytic hierarchy process) method. The evaluation indices of the national competitiveness are selected as the technical level, the number of researchers, the investments for R&D, and the infrastructure of hydrogen energy. Similarly, the technical level is divided into the number of published papers, the number of foreign patents, and the number of published proceeding papers. The evaluation indices of the technical level and the number of researchers were investigated by database searches. It appears that South Korea locates the sixth position in the world. The results of our study suggest that South Korea is relatively competitive in the technical level and the number of researchers. However, our country needs the long-term and well-focused R&D, and the expansion of infrastructures to enhance the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy in the future.
