This book was released on 2011 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Explores airport performance indicators (APIs) for use in benchmarking and performance measurement. These APIs are sorted by functional type and their criticality to the airport strategic plan. More than 800 performance indicators are presented in three main categories: Core, Key, and Other APIs. "Core" or fundamental indicators are important for overall operation of the airport and of interest to the Chief Executive Officer or governing board. "Key" or departmental indicators are important for the operations of key airport functions and departments. The remaining "Other" indicators are considered useful as secondary departmental unit performance indicators but not critical to the airport's overall function. The printed versions of ACRP Report 19A include a bound in CD (CRP-CD-94) of the Interactive Resource Guide that is identical to the pdf that is posted online."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recently as the summer of 2001, many travelers were dreading air transportation because of extensive delays associated with undercapacity of the system. That all changed on 9/11, and demand for air transportation has not yet returned to peak levels. Most U.S. airlines continue to struggle for survival, and some have filed for bankruptcy. The situation makes it difficult to argue that strong action is urgently needed to avert a crisis of undercapacity in the air transportation system. This report assesses the visions and goals for U.S. civil aviation and technology goals for the year 2050.

Download or read book A Method for Stakeholder based Comparative Benchmarking of Airports written by Claes Johan David Schaar and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major U.S. airports are critical nodes in the air transportation network, providing the interface between ground and air transportation. Airports are geographic monopolies with multiple stakeholders. Government regulations require them to operate as public utilities under profit-neutral financial conditions. By their nature, the airport stakeholders have different and sometimes conflicting performance objectives. Since U.S. airports operate under profit-neutral regulations, enterprise performance cannot be measured using traditional financial objectives and must instead be evaluated based on the airports' ability to meet the objectives of all of their stakeholders. Comparative benchmarking is used for evaluating the relative performance of airports. An analysis of past benchmarks of airport performance described in this dissertation shows that these benchmarks are ambiguous about which stakeholders' needs they address and provide limited motivation for why particular performance metrics were used. Furthermore, benchmarks of airport performance use data of multiple dimensions, and such benchmarking without knowledge of utility functions requires the use of multi-objective comparison models such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Published benchmarks have used different DEA model variations with limited explanation of why the models were selected. The choices of performance metrics and the choice of DEA model have an impact on the benchmark results. The limited motivation for metrics and model render the published benchmark results inconclusive. This dissertation describes a systematic method for airport benchmarking to address the issues described above. The method can be decomposed into three phases. The first phase is the benchmark design, in which the stakeholder goals and DEA model are selected. The selection of stakeholder goals is enabled by a model of airport stakeholders, their relationships, and their performance objectives for the airport. The DEA model is selected using a framework and heuristics for systematically making DEA model choices in an airport benchmark. The second phase is the implementation of the benchmark, in which the benchmark data is collected and benchmark scores are computed. Benchmark scores are computed using the implementation of DEA models provided in the dissertation. In the third phase, the results are analyzed to identify factors which contribute toward strong performance and poor performance, respectively, and to provide recommendations to decision- and policy-makers. The benchmark method was applied in three case studies of U.S. airports: The first case study provided a benchmark of the level of domestic passenger air service to U.S. metropolitan areas. The frequency of service to hub airports and the number of non-hub destinations served were measured in relation to the size of the regional economy and population. The results of this benchmark showed that seven of 29 metropolitan areas have the highest levels of air service. Nine areas, including Portland, OR, San Diego, and Pittsburgh, have poor levels of air service. Contributing factors to poor levels of air service are the lack of airline hub service, limited airport capacity, and low airline yields. In the second case study, a benchmark of the degree of airport capacity utilization was conducted. The degree of capacity utilization at 35 major U.S. airports was evaluated as defined by the level of air service and volume of passengers carried in relation to the airport runway capacity. Seven out of 35 airports have the highest levels of capacity utilization while six airports, including HNL, PDX, and PIT, have poor levels of capacity utilization. Some airports with high levels of airport capacity utilization incur large delay costs while the airports with poor levels of utilization have excess capacity, indicating that funding for capacity improvements should be directed away from the poorly performing airports to those that are capacity constrained. The third case study recreated of an existing widely published benchmark. This analysis took the premise of a previously conducted benchmark that measured airport efficiency and recreated it by applying the new benchmarking methodology in two new component benchmarks: 0́Ø A benchmark focused on the airports' operating efficiency, using parameters which included the number of passengers and aircraft movements in relation to runway capacity and delay levels 0́Ø A benchmark comparing the level of investment quality of the airports, using factors such as the debt service coverage ratio, the portion of origin and destination passengers, and the levels of non-aeronautical revenues The results of the new benchmark showed no statistically significant correlation with the results of the original benchmark, leading to a different set of conclusions from the new benchmarks. This illustrates the importance of a comprehensive and systematic approach to the design of a benchmark. Practical implications of the analysis for policymakers relate to the allocation of funding for capacity improvement projects. Airports in some areas operate at high levels of capacity utilization and provide high levels of air service for their regions. These areas are at risk of not being able to satisfy continued growth in air travel demand, limiting the potential for the areas' future economic development. The most strongly affected area in this category is New York City. Similarly, the analysis found areas where the current level of air service is limited due to airport capacity constraints, including Philadelphia and San Diego. While airport capacity growth is subject to geographical and other restrictions in some of these areas, increased capacity improvement funds would provide a high return on investment in these regions. In contrast, the analysis found that several airports with comparatively low levels of capacity utilization received funding for increased capacity in the form of new runway construction. These airports include Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Washington-Dulles. In light of this indication that improvement funding is currently not optimally allocated, this benchmarking method could be used as a systematic, transparent means of enhancing the process of funding allocation.
