Demand Analysis Models for Passenger Air Transportation

A passenger demand model for air transportation in a hub-and-spoke network

This paper develops an air passenger model that deals with city-pair demand generation and demand assignment in a single framework. Using publicly available and regularly collected panel data, the model captures both time series and cross-sectional variation of air travel demand. The empirical analysis finds that pattern of correlations among alternatives can be described by a three-level neste...

Analyzing passenger travel disruptions in the National Air Transportation System

Many of the existing methods for evaluating an airline’s on-time performance are based on flight-centric measures of flight delay. However, recent research has demonstrated that as much as 50% of passenger delays are caused by passenger travel disruptions, either flight cancelations or missed connections. The propensity for disruptions varies significantly across airports and carriers, based on...

Price Elasticities of Demand for Passenger Air Travel: a Meta-Analysis

The demand for air transport is largely determined by the spending capacity of customers. This paper aims to offer more insight into the determinants of price elasticities in the aviation sector. It seeks to identify both common and contrasting factors that influence the price elasticities, on the basis of a comparative analysis among a large number of empirical studies in this field. By means ...

Air passenger demand forecasting and passenger terminal capacity expansion: A system dynamics framework

This paper deals with how to develop a model to forecast air passenger demand and to evaluate some policy scenarios related with runway and passenger terminal capacity expansion to meet the future demand. System dynamics frameworks can be used to model, to analyze and to generate scenario to increase the system performance because of its capability of representing physical and information flows...
