Introduction
The data set presented the percentage of flight delay during arrival and departure from 13 airports The information is from the Federal Aviation Administration. The assumption of the data is normally distributed with the level of significance at 5%. The below analysis determines whether there is a positive linear relationship between late arrivals and late departures.

    A survey consisting of six questions (Appendix A) will be handed out to all passengers during flights for a one-month period. The returned surveys will serve as a database for this project and from which random samples are taken. For additional information, management can compare survey results to passenger data stored in the company database. The information generated from surveys and data mining will be analyzed to determine if there is a difference in passenger count for each day of the week.…

    CASE STUDY REPORT In the Delays at Logan Airport case, there are different proposals for reducing congestion. One of the methods proposed to tackle the impact of delays was peak-period pricing, PPP. The other one was to build a new runway. In this case study, your objective is to evaluate these alternatives using waiting line models and to provide a recommendation to FAA to solve the delay problem at Logan Airport. Make sure you demonstrate that you have thought through your recommendations and the effects on other related activities. Also demonstrate that you understand the concepts and tools from the class that apply. Prepare an action-oriented advisory report, which presents concisely your analysis and recommendations for solution of the primary management problems. In order to assist you in your analysis, we prepared the discussion questions. DO NOT SIMPLY ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. The main body of the case study report should not exceed 5-pages typewritten, one-andhalf-spaced, using default margins and 12-point type. In addition to the main body, you can attach an appendix that includes the details of the calculation, figures, tables, etc. The appendix itself should not exceed 2 pages. Your report should start with an executive summary (maximum 0.5 pages), which summarizes your recommendations and findings. The main body of the report should present a detailed discussion based on the provided questions and your analysis of the quantitative questions. Clearly state your assumptions. Be selective. Do not restate case facts. Summary tables in the text are encouraged for quantitative information. The details of the calculation can be put in the appendix, but any result that is important for answering questions or providing managerial insights should be referenced in the text. You may use figures to visually represent information contained in the text. Make sure tables and figures are referenced in the text. The following general guidelines are for…

    Upon doing my own analysis I have discovered that your comments about average flight delay and percentage of delayed flights by RegionEx as compared to MDA are not quite correct, or at least do not tell the whole story. First, RegionEx’s % of delayed flights is 26.3% compared to 26.5% by MDA, a small outperformance but better nonetheless. Second, RegionEx’s average delays are significantly skewed by some large 100+ minute delays (refer to RegionEx’s scatter plot), making the 5 minute deficit in the mean a deceptive data. This deception is also reflected by the very large standard deviation observed in RegionEx’s descriptive statistics. A quick scan of the medians and modes actually shows that more often RegionEx is performing a bit better than MDA. A quick scan of the histograms indicate that while 57.5% of RegionEx flights are less than 10 minutes delayed, MDA flights are more than 10 minutes delayed 72% of the time, despite the 10 minute additional cushion it schedules for every flight as compared to RegionEx scheduled flight times (100 minutes for MDA, 90 minutes for RegionEx). This means that if comparing apples to apples and giving a 100 min allowance to RegionEx flights, 57.5% of RegionEx flights would register as being on time, a vast improvement over MDA. While the fact that 24% of RegionEx flights are more than 15 minutes delayed is indeed concerning, this data as an aggregate seems to be a representation of Simpson’s Paradox, where the aggregate result looks worse than the data broken down individually.…

    However this report does not consider the costs to airline passengers created by delays (such as missed meetings, events, or inconvenience). Airlines may suffer more due to these delays in terms of foregone revenue, as dissatisfied customers switch to alternative means of transportation or forego travel altogether. The Air Transport Association (a major airline industry group), has however, used a $30.9 per hour estimate as the value of a passenger’s time in its estimates of annual delay costs. According to FAA definition a flight is delayed only if it arrives (or departs) more than fifteen minutes past schedule.…

    The current demand forecasting method is based on qualitative techniques more than quantitative ones. If the forecast is not accurate, the company would carry both inventory and stock out costs. It might lose customers due to shortage of supply or carry additional holding costs due to excess production. If the actual demand doesn’t match the forecast ones, and the forecast was too high, this will result in high inventories, obsolescence, asset disposals, and increased carrying costs. When a forecast is too low, the customer resorts to a competitive product or retailer. A supplier could lose both sales and shelf space at that retail location forever if their predictions continue to be inaccurate. The tolerance level of the average consumer for product outages is quite low.…

    The Indian aviation industry was facing two major problems in the month of October, 2012. One was a sharp drop in the domestic passenger traffic in October, while the second saw the exit of Kingfisher Airlines from the market. Traffic fell to 4.55 million in October 2012 from 5.4 million in October 2011, a drop of almost 1 million. This was unexpected by many in the industry as this is the peak season time for most of the airlines which operate, owing to festive travelling.…

    Aviation industry of Africa is booming from the past few decades. African population is similar to the population of china in 1980 to which Africa contributes GDP 3% of global, whereas China 2% in 1980 (IATA, June 2013). China has now transformed into a powerful economy. Africa’s social and economic growth depends on the air transport (Airport World). Therefore airports have to adopt market changes, technological changes, economic downturn, and deregulation in order to make it more profitable, safe and reliable. The airports are being converted into business like entities. These have caused significance efforts in the way airport operates. Geographical location, infrastructure, reliability, connectivity, aeronautical, non-aeronautical revenues, airport charges etc has to be analyzed in detail to understand the way airport does business. To know this in depth, BOLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT of Addis Ababa, at the capital city of Ethiopia has been chosen. It is an existing hub in African continent which could emerge as the dominant player in the African Aviation market. Bole international airport was ranked 7th in the best airports award of SKYTRAX in 2012 .It is one of the top busiest airports in Africa which showed a passenger increase of 25% in 2011(we fly high, 2011). In this case study, the geographical location and demography is explored. Traffic and GDP growth influences the airport operations in a positive way. Then the infrastructure, facilities provided in the airport is studied in detail to get a wide knowledge about the airport operations of bole international airport. International connectivity and domestic connectivity from the hub is examined. Airport charges affect the airport operations as well as the passengers, so its influence is also noted. Then finally the commercial revenues are taken into consideration which plays a major role in the…
