But where data of the amount of trade between countries is highly available, the actual routing of those traded goods is not known at the moment. This means that up until today it is unknown for airlines, airports, forwarders and other important stakeholders how trade between countries have been flown. This research includes the development of a model to estimate yearly air cargo flows over the global air transport network by using country-to-country air trade data. The novelty in this model lies in the fact that this is the first model in academic literature that estimates air cargo flows in such a detailed airport-to-airport level. Both on the demand side of the model as on the supply side very granular data is used. O/D air trade data on country-to-country level is the main demand input, where route choices are based on scheduled flight services reported by the airline, serve as supply input. model framework To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:c7e12b22-3ba3-4455-8170-d8f4e8c12001 Embargo date 2017-09-14 Part of collection Student theses Document type master thesis Rights © 2017 Lars Meijs Files PDF 170823_LJJA_Meijs_Global_ ... rsion_.pdf 3.13 MB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:c7e12b22-3ba3-4455-8170-d8f4e8c12001/datastream/OBJ/view
