The DTI model relates air traffic dem<strong>and</strong> in RPKs with regional <strong>and</strong> global economic performance as reflected in GDP trends, as was <strong>the</strong> case with <strong>the</strong> ANCAT/EC2<br />

2015 forecast. Generally, a load factor of 70% is assumed to estimate ASKs (capacity) from traffic dem<strong>and</strong>. Long-term traffic dem<strong>and</strong> is also assumed to be modified<br />

by <strong>the</strong> same assumptions on fares pricing, market maturity, <strong>and</strong> so forth that <strong>the</strong> ANCAT/EC2 2015 forecast used. Capacity estimates are converted to fuel<br />

consumption estimates by using <strong>the</strong> concept of traffic efficiency as described in Section 9.3.2 <strong>and</strong> a fuel efficiency trend for <strong>the</strong> scenario period. Model coverage<br />

includes all global aviation markets, but separate fuel consumption estimates are made for freight <strong>and</strong> for <strong>the</strong> FSU on <strong>the</strong> basis of aligning growth with global civil<br />

passenger market trends.<br />

The scenario modeled for 2050 assumes that sufficient aviation infrastructure would be available to accommodate <strong>the</strong> forecast increase in traffic. No new city pairs are<br />

introduced during <strong>the</strong> scenario period, <strong>and</strong> aircraft flight profiles remain unaltered from <strong>the</strong> present day; altitude, speed, <strong>and</strong> method of operation are assumed to be <strong>the</strong><br />
