ACRP Report 48: Impact of Jet Fuel Price Uncertainty on Airport Planning and Development

Details

Abstract: ACRP Report 48 is designed to help airport operators and planners measure the impact of changes in jet fuel price on supply and demand for air service at commercial service airports. The report includes background research, a computer model, and a user manual. The output of the model can ultimately be used to help evaluate the impact of uncertainty on airport development and finance. Applying specific input parameters, the model, embedded in a user-friendly program, allows airport planners and managers to assess how fuel, economic, and other uncertainties may affect their airport and to test the sensitivity of varying assumptions about key drivers of airport activity.
