Abstract

Forecasting air traffic demands is important when planning for the future density and capacity of a Flight Information Region (FIR). There are many factors that affect air traffic demand such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), air fare, service level, travel time etc. Our previous study analyzed the relationship between the GDP and air traffic demand and suggested that the GDP has a significant influence on the air traffic demand. This paper further analyzes the relationship between the population growth and air traffic demand. A case study on Singapore FIR and Singapore population was carried out in this work. A model for predicting the future air traffic demand was developed and a long-term forecast was considered in this study. The aim of this study is to improve the previous study and establish more relevant applicable variables. This paper also includes simulations and modeling of the future traffic demand forecasted, using the System for Traffic Assignment and Analysis at a Macroscopic Level (SAAM) tool.
