To avoid both over-design and under-sizing of airport passenger terminal facilities such as security checkpoints, the infrastructure is designed for a specifically determined design load. As such, load considered short period time, usually an hour operation, during which peak, though not necessarily maximum, demand occurs. For strategic planning applications, future loads can be by either fictitious flight schedules or ratio-based models forecast relationship between annual demand. This...

Abstract As a consequence of deregulation in the airline industry, market forces rather than public service considerations increasingly dictate routes serving airports Europe's peripheral areas. The new advocates market-driven management practices as means satisfying customers and implies that adopt more market-orientated approach their rivals will perform better. This study investigates relationship between orientation performance research strategy was implemented using questionnaire-based...

This paper aims to explore and identify the key geopolitical barriers opportunities greater regional integration amongst Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states by examining case study ASEAN single aviation market (ASAM). is based on an ongoing doctoral research project covering topic. To date, has implemented substantial liberalisation its air transport via open skies policy, included as part Community Project. not just foster connectivity economic development, but...

This paper considers the Middle East big three (MEB3) carriers – Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways and Qatar from perspective of heterogeneous strategic decisions future trajectories. is based on an ongoing doctoral research project covering topic. The rise MEB3 their growing global impacts have seen major very often analysed together, with little scholarly focus differences individual airline decision-making. has typically dominated discussion analysis, not surprising given its sheer size...

Since liberalization of the European aviation market, completed in 1997, nature air travel Europe has changed dramatically. One most important outcomes is emergence lowcost carriers (LCCs). These LCCs have driven down cost and forced a fundamental restructuring many existing full-service airlines as well charter (Njegovan, 2006; Papatheodorou Lei, 2006). Intensified price competition between stimulated demand for short-haul travel, leading to phenomenal growth traffic at regional...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact different wayfinding provision on senior driving behaviour and road safety. A car simulator used model scenarios differing complexity design. Three scenario types were designed consisting 3.8 miles airport road. Wayfinding varied due levels road-side furniture. Experienced drivers asked drive simulated routes. Forty in age ranges: 50 54, 55 59 those aged over 60 selected perform study. Participants drove for approximately 20 minutes...

Facility requirements determine how and when the capacity of airport passenger terminal facilities is adjusted over time to meet expected demand. Given high levels uncertainty inherent in long-term planning, under provision a recurrent risk, as conventional strategic planning methods fail adapt dynamically changing circumstances. This paper introduces novel flexible expansion model for terminals that considers simultaneously real options ‘on’ ‘in’ systems. The validated check-in at Zurich...
