In 2012, a forecasting 2013 report for Malta International Airport is DONE, today, a second report is delivered, and using the same previous model, the result is fair and acceptable, using MAX/MIN signal tracking approach. Also update for the figures is done to forecast 2015.

9. MALTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
 The concept of
forecasting by
Objective is used.
 Three DATA Sets
are addressed –
Passengers, A/C
Movements, and
Cargo.
 Introduction
 Using 3 years on monthly bases i.e 36 data
set

10. MALTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
 Max/Min Signal Tracking
approach
 Objective
 To forecast Passengers, Aircraft and Cargo
movements based on Max/Min Signal Tracking
approach. ( best forecasting scenario )

11. MALTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
 Conditions for Fair
forecast
 Coefficient Of
Determination

20. RESULTS:
 Three Data Sets are analysis – Forecast
2013
 Traffic Passengers - 3,921,384
R2 = 99.0 S.T. = ± 4.98 ( Fair )
 Aircraft Movements – 28,009 Cycle
R2 = 97.4 S.T. = ± 4.22 ( Fair )
 Cargo Movements - 15,199,433 Kg
R2 = 34.3 S.T. = ± 4.55 ( Poor )

21. ACCURACY:
Accuracy of
Forecast :
- 2 Mislead but can be
fair
- 1 Poor

22. CONCLUSIONS:
 Traffic forecasting will be a positive trend at + 6% growth, it
will be expected to have 3,921,384 Pax in 2013. and shows
a fair seasonality patterned. (Evaluation shows a fair results
)
 Aircraft Movements: in this category – results show a
negative trend, it expected to have 28,009 cycles in 2013,
this may be due to changing aircraft type to have more
capacity by the airlines operators in Malta airport.
Recommend to use most recent data method (2012) to
forecast to avoid negative trend.
 For Cargo, there is no correlation even though a forecasting
patterned is developed, but that may not reflect a good
forecasting results. Cargo Movements - 15,199 Tonne

26. ERRORS VS PERFORMANCE (MODEL UPDATED)

27. ACTUAL VS FORECAST 2013 (MODEL UPDATED)
 Annual Error
= 0.98 %

28. ACTUAL VS FORECAST 2014 ( MODEL UPDATED )
 Annual Error
= -1.25 %
 Using the
