Abstract:

In June and September 1990, the Transportation Research Board conducted a series of workshops on methods of forecasting civil aviation activity. The purpose was to examine methods and practices used by the Federal Aviation Administration and others and to identify ways in which the reliability and utility of forecast products could be improved. This is the report on the second workshop which was held on June 15 and addressed forecasting regional airline activity. Briefly, it was found that the future is not a clear, simple picture for the regional airline industry. It is a complex series of interactions between the economy, demographics, technology, natural resources, and infrastructure capacity. Planning for the future in this environment requires continuously assessing events and long-term trends and developing methods for weighing their impact on the U.S. regional air transport industry.
