7 GLOSSARY
Aircraft movement = An aircraft takeoff or landing at an airport. For airport traffic purposes one
arrival and one departure is counted as two movements.
Airport = A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment)
intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and movement of aircraft.
Airport pair = An airport pair is defined as two airports between which travel is authorised by a
passenger ticket or part of a ticket, or between which freight and mail shipments are made in
accordance with a shipment document or part of it (air waybill or mail delivery bill).
Destination = region or point where a trip ends.
Intermodal = the use of more than one mode on a trip, e. g. when travelling by air, usually
another mode (rail, road) has to be used, to reach an airport.
Load Factor = the number of passengers using a vehicle divided by the capacity of the vehicle.
Main mode (air, rail, road) = the mode of transport belonging to a distinct type of infrastructure,
e. g. “road” summarises all modes of transport using roads (private car, bus, coach, ...).
Passenger matrix (border crossing) = A matrix only containing passenger movements on trips
crossing the borders of a region.
Passenger matrix (long distance) = a matrix containing movements of passengers only for trips
longer than 50km.
Passenger matrix (passenger) = a matrix containing passenger movements between origins and
destinations as values of xij, with i as an origin and j as a destination.
Passenger matrix (symmetric) = the values xij are identical to the values for xji.
Origin = region or point where a trip starts.
Passenger = Any person, excluding on­duty members of the flight and cabin crews, who makes
a journey by air.
Person­km = the number of passengers on a specific route multiplied by the distance of the
route.
Runway capacity = Maximum runway throughput, or flow rate, which can be achieved over a
sustained period of time when aircraft operate under IFR, under specific traffic mix, in good
weather conditions, with good ATM/runway system management, in accordance with safety
standards and recommendations, and with an acceptable maximum delay for a limited period of
time.
Terminal capacity = Maximum terminal throughput, or flow rate, which can be achieved over a
sustained period of time, in accordance with safety standards and recommendations, and with an
acceptable maximum delay for a limited period of time.
Terminal passenger = Total of terminating and transfer passengers.
