This paper aims to predict air passenger and air freight demands in the air routes between South and North Korea. The air demands will be fostered by the visitors of Pyeongyang and Baekdu Mountain, whose forecasts will be used for supplying the air traffic services necessary for the active exchange and cooperation between South and North Korea in the future. The authors use the tool of regression analysis under the assumption of epoch-making progress in demand for aviation in accordance with the exchange and cooperation scenario between South and North Korea. After predicting the total number of travelers through regression analysis, the authors applied the share of air passengers among total travelers in order to predict the number of air passengers. Finally, the number of flights of each airport and route were forecasted by including the air freight, estimated from the number of air passengers.

For forecasting air cargo demand from Incheon National Airport to all of airports in the United States (US), this study employed the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) method and the time-series data collected from the first quarter of 2003 to the second quarter of 2016. By comparing the SARIMA method against the ARIMA method, it was found that the SARIMA method performs well, relatively with time series data highlighting seasonal periodic characteristics. While existing previous research was generally focused on the air passenger and the air cargo as a whole rather than specific air routes, this study emphasized on a specific air cargo demand to the US route. The meaningful findings would support the future research.

In this study, a discrete-event simulation model is developed to estimate load factors and the corresponding revenues under different pricing and dispatching policies. The model has been employed to forecast the inbound and the outbound air cargo demands of the major Northeastern Chinese cities, and the simulation results were compared to the actual demands obtained from real-life airline operations. The statistical analysis confirms that the simulation model is able to provide accurate estimates for air cargo demands, and thus, the model may be employed to be a useful tool for air cargo demand management.
