What it shows
- 1081: source port locations
- 13.4 km: median nearest-airport distance
- 829: airports selected by the model
A nearby airport does not establish cargo handling, a usable road connection or operating port capacity. Use this model to identify locations for further investigation.
Method
Same nearest-sphere model as the Airport Accessibility artifact. Every source port is evaluated against the eligible airport set; model matches and distances accompany the atlas.
The collection bundle includes models/port-airport-proximity.json with reusable derived results and stable source identifiers.
