The analysis of the dynamics of delays propagation is one of the major topics inside Air Transport Management research. Delays are generated by the elements of the system, but their propagation is a global process fostered by relationships inside the network. If the topology of such propagation process has been extensively studied in the literature, little attention has been devoted to the fact that such topology may have a dynamical nature. Here we differentiate between two phases of the…

Air delay propagation patterns in Europe from 2015 to 2018: an information processing perspective

This work applies the successful application of network theory in neuroscience to the analysis of delay propagation in the European airspace between 2015 and 2018, and describes the evolution of the observed structure, and identifies the role of individual airports in it.

Beyond Linear Delay Multipliers in Air Transport

This work presents a methodology that extracts a more complete relationship between the in- and outbound delays, distinguishing a linear and a nonlinear phase and thus yielding a richer description of the system’s response as a function of the delay magnitude.

Recent Progress about Flight Delay under Complex Network

This paper surveyed recent progress about flight delay which makes extensive use of complex network theory, and investigated studies on causal relations, propagation modellings, and best spreaders identifications in flight delay.

Uncertainty Management at the Airport Transit View

A novel methodological approach for tackling uncertainty when linking inbound and outbound flights is presented and insight is provided on the interdependencies among factors driving performance.

ANALYSIS OF SATURATION AT THE AIRPORT-AIRSPACE INTEGRATED OPERATIONS A case study regarding delay indicators and their predictability

A functional analysis of the operations that represent the aircraft flow through the airportairspace system is developed, using a dynamic spatial boundary associated with the Extended Terminal Maneuvering Area concept to establish a taxonomy that classifies the system’s capacity to “receive and transmit” the expected aircraft flows.

Modeling airport congestion contagion by heterogeneous SIS epidemic spreading on airline networks

A heterogeneous Susceptible- Infected-Susceptible SIS spreading process on an airline network is used to model airport congestion contagion with the objective to reproduce airport vulnerability and illustrate that this model could reproduce the distribution of nodal vulnerability and rank the airports in vulnerability evidently better than the SIS model whose recovery rate is homogeneous.

Assessing Identifiability in Airport Delay Propagation Roles Through Deep Learning Classification

It is shown how Deep Learning models are able to recognise airports with high precision, thus suggesting that delays are defined more by the characteristics of each airport than by the global network effects.

Systemic delay propagation in the US airport network

There is a non-negligible risk of systemic instability even under normal operating conditions and passenger and crew connectivity is identified as the most relevant internal factor contributing to delay spreading.

ANALYSIS OF DOWNSTREAM IMPORTS OF AIR TRAFFIC DELAY

Using historical airline reported delays for December 1993, it was concluded that the mean 'downstream' delay is approximately 80% of the initial delay, i.e., the net delay for an aircraft due to an initial flight delay is about 1.8 x the initialdelay.

It is anticipated that on-going work will further contribute to existing research demonstrating the differences between flight-centric and passenger-centric metrics, establishing the better alignment of the latter with key high-level policies in Europe.

Complex Networks: Structure and Dynamics

The major concepts and results recently achieved in the study of the structure and dynamics of complex networks are reviewed, and the relevant applications of these ideas in many different disciplines are summarized, ranging from nonlinear science to biology, from statistical mechanics to medicine and engineering.

On causality of extreme events

The proposed metric is able to detect non-linear causalities; to analyse both cross-sectional and longitudinal data sets; and to discriminate between real causalities and correlations caused by confounding factors.
