This document discusses air cargo flows and networks in Europe. It outlines an approach to analyze air cargo flows between airport pairs and nodes using statistics from Eurostat on freight volumes and scheduled flight data. Impedances between airports are also calculated based on flight times, number of stopovers, and frequencies. Charts and data on air cargo volumes between Europe and other regions like North America and Latin America by country pairs and airport pairs are also presented.

2. Objective: Air cargo Tasks: - Air cargo flows - Air cargo impedances scheduled services charter services Core area: EU 25 + Switzerland and Norway - services & flows within core countries - intercontinental services & flows to / from core countries

Freight flows: Approach for Air cargo Harmonised Statistics for links (2’246 airport pairs) and nodes (airports) in tons Eurostat 2006 Link capacities (8’822) from network data base (OAG) Calculating average load factor for links with available statistics Data base for calibration process Calculating link load with load factor and capacity for links not covered by statistics Iterative calibration process to balance link loads, virtual link loads and node loads Shares of commodity groups for region pairs (NEA) Airport-airport-matrix in tons 2006 Air cargo impedances Apt.<->Apt.

24. Aviation: Needs for communication Air cargo statistics separated by - commodity groups - baggage - mail - per origin-destination and - per direction Air passenger statistics - flight segment (origin-destination airport) - final destination (origin-final destination airport) - any transfer passenger information available (e.g. SITA) for Airports in America (beside US, where data are at hand). => Please send available information to: [email_address]
