Determinants of daily fluctuations in air passenger volumes. The effect of events and holidays on Milan Malpensa airport

Paolo Beria and Antonio Laurino

Journal of Air Transport Management, 2016, vol. 53, issue C, 73-84

Abstract: Air traffic flows show large seasonal variability, but arrivals and departures may also be significantly influenced by specific events which generate peaks, which generate peaks rising above baseline traffic. While seasonal variations of air flows are well studied in literature, the daily variations and their causes are seldom analysed and quantified. The paper aims at filling this gap by exploring and quantifying the effect of holidays and events (conferences, trade fairs, sport events) in terms of passenger daily fluctuations.
