Driven by economic activity,
Strategies to Manage Capacity:
Making more efficient use of existing
capacity, managing demand,
improving operational productivity,
and expanding facilities.
Capacity, Throughput,
Congestion, and Delay:
Capacity is essential but can
lead to congestion and delays
when demand exceeds it.
Actions Taken by Airlines: Drastic
cost reductions, fleet adjustments,
and seeking government aid during
crises.
Interdependence between Airlines
and Airports: Airlines rely on airports
for efficient and affordable facilities,
while airports depend on airlines for
traffic and revenue generation.
Crisis Response and Adaptation:
Both airlines and airports must
adapt to sudden shocks such as
terrorist attacks or pandemics,
requiring rapid adjustments in
operations, cost structures, and
government support.
Demand for Air Transportation:
airfares, and other factors like
infrastructure quality and security.
Airport Economics: Dependent on aeronautical
and non-aeronautical revenues, both of which
are affected by fluctuations in traffic levels.
Economic Challenges: Including reducing
debt burdens, adapting to changing
Airport issues and challenges
demand patterns, and uncertainties
about airline operations.
Actions Taken by Airports: Such as cost-
cutting measures, layoffs, and
diversification into other businesses.
Airlines' Challenges: Including
overcapacity, competition
from low-cost carriers, and
high operating costs.
Economic Factors Impacting Demand
and Operations: Economic conditions
affect both airline profitability and
passenger willingness to travel,
thereby influencing airport revenues
and capacity planning.
Capacity Challenges and Operational
Efficiency: Congestion and delays arise when
demand exceeds capacity, prompting the
need for strategies to optimize operational
efficiency and potentially expand facilities.
Relationships between these elements
Long-Term Planning and Sustainability:
Capacity management involves
balancing short-term demand with
long- term infrastructure planning to
ensure sustainable growth while
maintaining
operational efficiency.
