This book presents a comprehensive analysis and modelling of
demand, capacity, quality of services, economics, and
sustainability of the air transport system and its main components
- - airports, airlines, and ATC/ATM (Air Traffic
Control/Management). Airports consist of the airside and landside
area characterized by their capacities for handling demand such as
aircraft, air passengers, and air freight/cargo shipments.
Regarding spatial configuration, airlines generally operate
hub-and-spoke (conventional or legacy airlines) and point-to-point
(LCCs - Low Cost Carriers) air route networks. Their fleets
consisting of different aircraft types provide transport capacity
for serving demand including air passengers and freight/cargo
shipments. The ATC/ATM includes the controlled airspace, traffic
management and control facilities and equipment on the ground,
space, and on board aircraft, and the ATC Controllers). They all
provide capacity to handle demand consisting of the flights between
origin and destination airports carried out by airline aircraft.
The outcome from the interrelationships between demand and capacity
at these components materializes as the quality of services. At
airports and airlines this is generally expressed by congestion and
delays of aircraft, air passengers, and freight/cargo shipments. At
ATC/ATM, this is expressed by delays, horizontal and vertical
in-efficiency, and safety of flights. Economics of each component
relate to its revenues, costs, and profits from handling demand,
i.e., providing services of given quality. The sustainability of
air transport system has become increasingly important issue for
many internal and external actors/stakeholders involved to deal
with. This has implied increasing the system's overall
social-economic effects/benefits while reducing or maintaining
constant impacts/costs on the environment and society at both
global and regional/local scale under conditions of continuous
medium- to long term growth.
