The delivery of reliable and efficient aviation services is
predicated on effective decisions being made concerning the
planning and provision of airport and aircraft infrastructure.
Decisions that are made about investment and capacity provision
have long term implications for airports, airlines and consumers.
This Volume addresses issues of forecasting, infrastructure
planning and provision, capacity, scheduling, safety and security,
disruption management and resilience. Accurately forecasting
consumer demand for air travel is a vitally important but
notoriously challenging aspect of aviation policy formation and
management. Forecasts of airline and airport activity may differ
considerably from original predictions and there have been many
examples of operational difficulties resulting from the over or
underestimation of demand. Such issues are apparent not only in
terminal buildings but also on the airfield and are of critical
interest to planners and operational decision makers. Another
activity which is of paramount importance is scheduling. Scheduling
forms a vital part of airline operations as it is concerned with
making the optimum use of scare resources and meeting consumer
demand profitably. In terms of aviation planning and operations the
importance of safety and security cannot be overstated and a number
of essays in this Volume address this area. Together with safety
and security concerns, a number of other factors have the potential
to disrupt planned schedules and any disruption has the potential
to cause delays, inconvenience and lost productivity and so
ensuring a quick and orderly return to normal routine operations is
vital.
