Air Transport System Analysis and Modelling

Presenting a comprehensive coverage, Air Transport System Analysis and Modelling is a unique text dealing with the analysis and modelling of the processes and operations carried out in all three parts of the air transport system, namely, airports, air traffic control and airlines. Seen from a planner's point of view, this book provides insights into current methods and also gives details of new research.

Milan Janic is currently Research Fellow in Air Transport at the Transport Studies Group at Loughborough University, UK. He was formerly Chief Researcher at the Institute of Traffic and Transport, Ljubljana, Slovenia and has worked on a number of national and Europe-wide projects. He has published extensively on the analysis, modelling and planning of transport systems
