Measurement of Normalized Change in Demand for Short-Haul O&D Commercial Air Travel from 1995 to 2010
This paper measures the magnitude of the change in short-haul commercial air travel by normalizing for variations in aggregate demand. After grouping the data by distance traveled, the authors found that the year-to-year changes in the number of passengers traveling between 1,000 miles and 2,500 miles have been consistent across these distance groups. They use this property of consistency of domestic long-haul demand to normalize the number of passengers in each distance group from prior years to see how many short-haul passengers would have flown in 2010 had the mix of short- and long-haul passengers not changed since then. The authors also identify which short-haul markets have lost the largest number of passengers since 1995.
