Comparison of The SARIMA Model and Intervention in Forecasting The Number of Domestic Passengers at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a massive effect on the air transportation sector. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Soetta) skilled a lower variety of passengers because of the Covid-19 pandemic, even though Soetta Airport persisted to perform normally. Forecasting the number of passengers needs to be done by the airport to decide the proper policy. Therefore, the airport wishes to estimate the range of passengers to determine the right coverage and prepare the facilities provided if there may be a boom withinside the range of passengers throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Forecasting the number of domestic passengers at Soetta Airport on this examination makes use of the SARIMA model and intervention. This examination compares the SARIMA model and the intervention in forecasting the number of domestic passengers at Soetta Airport. The effects confirmed that the best SARIMA model became ARIMA ARIMA(0,1,0)(1,0,0)12 with MAPE and RMSE of 55,18% and 588887.4, respectively. The best intervention model became ARIMA0,1,1) (1,0,0)12 b = 0, s = 5, r = 1 with MAPE of 35,25% and RMSE of 238563,4. The MAPE and RMSE values acquired suggest that the intervention model is better than the SARIMA model in forecasting the number of domestic passengers at Soetta Airport throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
