OPTIMIZATION IN THE FUNCTION OF FLIGHT NETWORK PLANNING

Authors: Ana Lazarovska, Violeta Manevska & Verica Dancevska 

ABSTRACT

This research explores the interrelationship between transport economics and sustainable development through the establishment of a mathematical model tailored for a new sports and school airport in Gevgelija, Macedonia. By applying the theory of equilibrium and conducting a cost-benefit analysis, the study aims to assess the airport infrastructure’s development and its contribution to sustainable growth in air traffic. The ultimate goal is to inform decision-making processes that prioritize projects with substantial indirect benefits, thereby aligning with European aviation standards and enhancing Macedonia’s integration into the modern aviation network. This comprehensive approach not only addresses the specific needs of sports and school aviation but also seeks to optimize resource allocation for the overall development of the transport economy in the region. The optimization of airport infrastructure is critical for efficient air transport, necessitating a comprehensive approach that considers the airspace around a planned airport. This process requires the integration of neighboring airports, fostering collaboration to allocate an optimal number of aircraft according to flight schedules while maintaining safety and efficiency. By treating the optimization model as an interactive process, stakeholders can enhance overall air traffic management, improve operational capacity, and ensure that airports operate synergistically within the regional airspace network, ultimately leading to a more effective and sustainable aviation system.

Keywords: Planning, Optimal, Supply, Demand, Model.
