Benchmarking As a Core PI, most useful for internal benchmarking to track growth or decline from year-to-year, and to identify other airports of similar size for further study. Comments A number of important PIs are driven by this Core PI or use this Core PI, as opposed to the broader measure of total passengers, as the denominator. Some indicators may use the components of this PI— Origination Passengers or Destination Passengers. For example, typically only Origination Passengers use the airport’s car park facilities, and only Destination Passengers rent cars at the airport. Similarly, typically only Origination Passengers use the primary security screening services at an airport, while only Destination Passengers use an airport’s baggage claim facilities. Although airports sometimes estimate either Origination or Destination Passengers by dividing O&D Passengers by two, that may not reflect true inbound and outbound patterns.
Aircraft Movements (total annual)— Core 3
Definition Aircraft take-offs or landings at an airport, measured over the course of a year. One arrival and one departure are counted as two movements. Applicability All airports Drivers Primary drivers are local demand and airline route planning and pricing decisions. Benchmarking As a Core PI, most useful for internal benchmarking to track growth or decline from year-to-year, and to identify other airports of similar size for further study. Comments Many important PIs are driven by this Core PI, or use this Core PI as the denominator. For example, airfield capacity and delay issues are driven primarily by aircraft movements.
