Modeling Passenger Trip Reliability: Why NextGen may not Improve Passenger Delays
نویسنده
چکیده
The airlines provide a critical service to the nation’s economy, providing rapid, safe, and affordable transportation over large geographic distances. The reliability of this transportation service, defined as the difference between the ticketed arrival time and the actual passenger arrival time, translates into economic productivity. For example, in 2007, the total delays experienced by airline passengers were estimated at 30,000 years. The estimated cost of these delays to the U.S. economy was $16.1B in lost economic productivity (NEXTOR, 2010). Further, one out of five passengers experienced a disrupted trip, and the average trip disruption was 110 minutes (Sherry, 2010; Barnhart et, al. 2010).

The raison d'etre of the Airline Passenger Transportation System (APTS) is the rapid, affordable, and safe transportation of passengers (and cargo). Traditional APTS performance metrics, such as flight delays and cancellation rates, fail to account for the delays to passenger trips caused by cancelled flights, missed connections and diversions. Previous research estimated Passenger Trip Delays ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Airline Passenger Trip Delays
The purpose of the Air Transportation System (ATS) is to provide safe and efficient transportation of passengers and cargo. The on-time performance of the ATS is measured by flight-based metrics such as flight delays and flight cancellations. Researchers have shown that flight-based metrics do not accurately reflect the passenger trip experience, and especially underestimate the impacts of canc...
متن کاملEvaluating Passenger Delays in the US Domestic Air
A fundamental component of any National Airspace System (NAS) performance evaluation is the cost impact of air traffic delays, and more generally capacity limitations, on the travelling passengers. In previous research it has been conclusively shown that flight delay data and flightcentric metrics fail to accurately represent the passenger travel experience and passenger trip delays accurately....
متن کاملComparison of Flight Delays and Passenger Trip Delays in the National Airspace System (nas)
The primary objective of the National Airspace System (NAS) is the transportation of passengers and cargo. It is no surprise, therefore, that passenger trip time performance is positively correlated with passenger satisfaction, airfare elasticity, and airline profits. Regulatory consumer information available to airline passengers provides measures of trip performance using only flight data (an...
متن کاملStatistical Comparison of Passenger Trip Delay and Flight Delay Metrics
The primary objective of the National Airspace System (NAS) is the transportation of passengers and cargo. Since passenger trip time performance is positively correlated with passenger satisfaction, airfare elasticity, and airline profits, it follows that the National Air Space (NAS) performance evaluation, modernization, and consumer protection should be based on passenger trip performance.
