The objective of this paper is to examine how the imposition of
Public Service Obligations (PSO) on certain routes may affect the
transportation sector, with a focus on aviation in the European
Single Market. Thus, this research investigates how this form of
public intervention can be useful to access adequeate transport
system in remote and peripherical regions. Subsequently, this
paper intends to display that the imposition of PSO on aviation
routes should be considered as a unique mean of market intervention
on behalf of territorial cohesion. To accomplish this, an
analysis of the economic impact in terms of efficiency and
sustainability in the case of the scheduled air route between
Almeria and Seville in addition to other transportation alternatives
such the bus or train was conducted. Additionally, this research
attempts to shift the research focus away from PSO routes in order
to determine the convenience of administrative concession as a
way to foster the creation of specific routes, which furthermore
cannot be covered by the entrepreneurship of private initiative in a
free market regime. Consequently, this approach recognises that
this form of public intervention is a way of correcting particular
market failures, such as the lack of the adequate transportation
