Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for forecasting passengers for a given carrier in a given market. The method includes: receiving an expected percentage change in market share for a given itinerary of the carrier during a future time period; receiving a quantity of passengers transported by the carrier via the given itinerary during a preceding time period; determining a percentage change in quantity of passengers in the given market during the future time period; and determining a forecasted quantity of passengers transported by the carrier during the future time period as a function of the quantity of passengers transported by the carrier via the given itinerary during a preceding time period, the expected percentage change in market share for the given itinerary during a future time period and the percentage change in quantity of passengers in the given market during the future time period.
