Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual approach for estimating demand and concomittant supply requirements for air passenger traffic within a network of interconnected cities. The area of consideration could be a state or collection of states. The suggested methodology represents a departure from the traditional sequential planning methods, by integrating simultaneously the elements of air demand and supply into an overall planning scheme. The scheme involves techniques ranging from mathematical programming to econometrics to represent the various components of the system. Typical results include such diverse items as passenger movements on each route by type of airplane, number of block hours by airplane type, capacity requirements at airports, and demand and supply sensitivities to air fares, energy factors, and services of other competitive modes.
