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 third workshop which was held on September 10-11 and addressed forecasting major air carrier activity. The report examines long term and short term trends and factors influencing aviation forecasting; adjusting long-range forecasts to account for changes in demographics; supply-side considerations in forecasting the U.S. all-cargo express industry; and the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program impacts on civil air commerce and FAA activity. The report concludes with twelve suggested improvements and additions to FAA forecasting.
