Abstract
The study set out to identify the key challenges affecting last-mile connectivity for Nigerian air travelers and examine the effect of inefficient last-mile transport on passenger experience. Questionnaire survey was carried out on 230 traveler-samples drawn from both local and international flights. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation to measure the effects. Findings revealed that airport regulations and restrictions limit last-mile transit options to air travelers, and that poor last mile connectivity leads to delays, higher travel costs and passenger dissatisfaction. The study concluded that coordinated efforts by governments, airport authorities and transport service providers are necessary to create efficient last-mile solutions.
