This manual is addressed to civil aviation administration personnel, airline planners, planners of airports and air navigation systems and others actively engaged in practical forecasting work. It provides a survey of techniques currently used for air traffic forecasting, and practical guidance on the application of these techniques.

These techniques can vary considerably in their usefulness and sophistication.

This manual is divided into three parts:

• Part I presents the techniques that are available for air traffic forecasting purposes, classified into three broad categories: quantitative, qualitative and decision analysis.
• Part II of this manual presents methods and procedures for forecasting for aviation planning, including forecasting for air navigation planning, airline planning and airport planning purposes.
