Abstract:

The authors summarized the workshop presentations and discussions on aviation forecasting methodology. Areas covered included growth factors, forecast reliability, market maturation, forecasting air transport costs, and market research support for forecasting. They concluded that the present FAA forecast procedure appears to be generally satisfactory under the circumstances. They pointed out the need to use the forecast process to explore more thoroughly possible contingencies and alternative scenarios. They concluded that no strong need was expressed at the workshop for the development of improved forecast models. They noted that airline participation in the workshop was less than would have been desirable since so much of the raw data and analysis are generated by the airlines.
