A demand model for scheduled airline services on international European routes

Abstract: A demand model for scheduled airline services is presented for the entire network of international European routes in 1989, building on recent studies in the literature but adapted to specific European circumstances. The study includes variables describing both the particular geo-economic characteristics of the area where transportation takes place and the patterns of airline service, as determined by flight frequency, plane size and prices. This last group is analysed in greater detail, and estimates are reported for different route-length and traffic density ranges. Frequency is found to out-perform plane size as a traffic generator for shorter distance routes, but this relationship is reversed for longer sector lengths. Demand tends to be inelastic with respect to the unrestricted economy fare, and the most discounted fares are found to generate traffic on shorter distance routes.
