Abstract:

Since air delay is a current hotspot of social concern, it is necessary to accurately estimate flight delays and loss based on air traffic data. Logarithmic model is used to fit the relationship between speed and distance and the trend of flight time in China is drawn. With the relationship between speed and distance in 2005, flight delays of airlines, passengers, cargoes and mails are estimated. Based on the unit value of time-related activities, the flight delay cost is estimated. The delay costs of passengers, cargoes and mails, and airlines are respectively ¥2.20 billion, ¥1.15 billion and ¥23.60 billion in 2015.

Key words: block time, delay cost, air transport, logarithmic model
