Increasing Airports' On-Time Arrival Performance Through Airport Capacity And Efficiency Indicators, Nurettin Dinler, William B. Rankin
Increasing Airports' On-Time Arrival Performance Through Airport Capacity And Efficiency Indicators, Nurettin Dinler, William B. Rankin
International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace
To optimize the U.S. airports’ operational performance, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides various metric values (i.e., average gate arrival delays, the average number of daily aircraft operations, effective gate-to-gate times, and taxi-in and taxi-out times) attributed to NextGen programs. The U.S. airports are now expected of designing more efficient arrival and departure procedures as part of their NextGen capabilities. This study, therefore, examined the relationship between airport efficiency and capacity indicators, provided by the FAA as metric values, and the U.S. airports’ on-time arrival rates over the period from 2009 to 2017. To test the relationship and build a …
A Conceptual Framework For Valuating Airline Frequent Flyer Program Miles, Yi Gao
A Conceptual Framework For Valuating Airline Frequent Flyer Program Miles, Yi Gao
International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace
Frequent flyer programs of airlines have gradually evolved into a multi-billion dollar business over the years. Valuing frequent flyer program miles accurately and fairly has its practical implications both for airlines and members of frequent flyer programs. As a ground-breaking academic study dedicated to airline loyalty programs, this study aims to build a conceptual framework to guide the valuation of miles. Through comparing required miles for different award types with their equivalent cash prices, this study has successfully addressed the purchasing power of AAdvantage miles of American Airlines when they are used for award redemption. Not only can this study …
