Growing Global Air Traffic
Evidence of a recovery for international aviation can be found in Milan, Italy, where airline officials have asked MITRE to help with airport capacity and noise issues. Europe accounts for 29 percent of the world's share of airline passengers, and its aviation industry suffered from the economic fallout of September 11. The recent success of low-cost airlines, however, is helping the region to be well on its way to recovery and traffic levels not seen since the year 2000.
Società Esercizi Aeroportuali, the Italian agency that operates the two airports in Milan, faces rising demand for air travel. To assist the Italians, we will analyze the runway capacity of Malpensa Airport to define how the runways can best be used to maximize capacity and address peaks in arrivals and departures. MITRE has done this kind of work at major airports in the United States and abroad, including Chicago O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Barcelona, Brussels, Zurich, Singapore, Taipei, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City
