Substitution potential from air to rail services in West Germany is evaluated. Travel time, travel destination and travel purpose were analyzed. It is concluded that an average rail speed of 160 km/h will affect the domestic air traffic by 8% to 10%, and that for an average rail speed of 280 Km/hr (e.g., magnetic rail transportation) a substitution ratio of about 50% is expected.
