Abstract
An aviation traffic and revenue forecasting system includes an air traffic generator, an aviation communication demand and revenue generator and an enroute overflight fee system. The air traffic generator creates a population of individual aircraft flights. The aviation communication demand and revenue generator uses the population to provide estimates of communication revenue from aviation message demand data. The enroute overflight fee system estimates enroute revenue from the population.

12. An aviation traffic and revenue forecasting system, comprising:
-
a) an air traffic generator for creating a population of individual aircraft flights, said air traffic generator, comprising;
i) a commercial flight generator for using market growth data and a flight information database for creating a commercial portion of said population, said market growth data being determined from demand forecast data and compounding data; and
,ii) a non-commercial flight generator for using said flight information database and aircraft population data for creating a non-commercial portion of said population,
wherein said commercial portion, said non-commercial portion and commercial services data are utilized to create said population, said commercial services data comprising message type, message size, message timing, price per message and feasible, addressable and capturable market segments;
b) an aviation communication demand and revenue generator for using said population to provide estimates of communication revenue from aviation message demand data; and
,c) an enroute overflight fee system for estimating enroute revenue from said population. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An aviation traffic and revenue forecasting system, comprising:
-
a) an air traffic generator for creating a population of individual aircraft flights, said air traffic generator, comprising;
i) a commercial flight generator for using market growth data and a flight information database for creating a commercial portion of said population; and
,ii) a non-commercial flight generator for using said flight information database, aircraft population data, flight range categories, aircraft type data and population center data for creating a non-commercial portion of said population,
wherein said commercial portion, said non-commercial portion and commercial services data are utilized to create said population, said commercial services data comprising message type, message size, message timing, price per message and feasible, addressable and capturable market segments;
b) an aviation communication demand and revenue generator for using said population to provide estimates of communication revenue from aviation message demand data; and
,c) an enroute overflight fee system for estimating enroute revenue from said population, said enroute overflight fee system utilizing Flight Information Regions (FIRs) and a cost structure database, said population generating enroute revenue based on aircraft weight and distance flown. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
