What is meant by traffic segments? How are they defined?
We are always monitoring the European air traffic market to identify specific trends that can affect our forecasts and that are worth a separate analysis. To allow a consistent approach to these studies we created a traffic market segmentation that classifies the traffic in: Traditional Scheduled, Low-Cost, Business Aviation, Cargo, Charter, Military and Other. This classification is based on a set of rules that use a mixture of operator, aircraft type and route information to determine the corresponding category.
