Air traffic demand forms the basis for assessing airport improvements to be included in the Bangladesh Airports and Airspaces System Investment Plan (BASIP). The purpose of the air traffic demand forecast is to provide the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) and Biman Bangladesh Airlines with detailed traffic information such as passenger flows, freight flows and aircraft movement rates. These forecasts then enable all relevant aviation agencies to establish airport development plans which can accommodate the future traffic activities. The forecast of air traffic demand for the study covers the period from 1992 to 2010 for three scenarios of socio-economic growth: Low growth; Moderate growth; and High growth. The forecasts cover four main components of air traffic: passengers; freight; aircraft movements; and peaking activities. With the exception of peaking activities, all aforementioned traffic categories were further classified into: domestic; and international. Air traffic demand for the Bangladesh airports was forecast by a two-step process. First, total demand for the country was forecast using econometric modeling. Then, the total traffic demand was allocated to each airport, taking into account its historic performance.
