ISTANBUL – MADRID ROUTE CASE

Turkey and Spain is the two countries, which have relationships for centuries. Those relationships based on economy, family etc. As we can understand, with the upgrading technology on transportation those relationships started to improve with the help of aviation. In this report, the situation is seen in detailed way.

Let us start with populations of two countries first;

Population of Istanbul; 14,200,000 / Population of Turkey; 76,485,820 
Ratio is; 0.18

       Population of Madrid; 3,300,000 / Population of Spain; 47,066,402 
       Ratio is; 0.07

Every commercial aircraft on this World needs airport to land and take off. Now we will see how many people did use the airport on which purposes.

1.    Istanbul Ataturk International Airport

·         Domestic; 29.810.000

·         International; 15.270.000

·         Total; 45.080.000

·         IATA CODE: IST

·         ICAO CODE: LTBA

2.Sabiha Gokcen International Airport

·         Domestic: 9.752.385

·         International: 5.120.525

·         Total: 14.872.910

·         IATA CODE: SAW

·         ICAO CODE: LTFJ

3.Madrid Barajas International Airport

·         Domestic:16.859.987       

·         International:27.636.547

·         Total: 45,175,501

·         IATA CODE: MAD

·         ICAO CODE: LEMD

-- If we look at the Air Passenger per Capita in Istanbul

45.080.000 +14.872.910 / 14.200.000 = 4.22

-- If we look at the Air Passenger per Capita in Madrid

45,175,501 / 3.300.000 = 13.68

We have to also tell you the passenger capacity of each aircraft.

Boeing B737; 180

Airbus A321; 220

Airbus A319; 130

The distance between Madrid and Istanbul is 2734.6
Available seats (estimated):440

Available seats KM: 440*2736=1,204,104

Due to the results, that were found by the other group members helped us to find three main things. Which are Revenue Passenger (RP), Revenue Passenger Kilometre (RPK) and Load Factor(LF).

First of all, we will start with RP,
From Istanbul Ataturk Airport  to Madrid Barajas Airport; 7800 pax
From Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport  to Madrid Barajas Airport; 1620 pax
From Madrid Barajas Airport to Istanbul Ataturk  Airport; 3840 pax
From Madrid Barajas Airport to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport; 1620 pax

If we take total RP, it will be equal to 14880 pax

Secondly, we will continue with Revenue Passenger Kilometre (RPK),
Total distance is 2734.6 kilometres
Due to total distance we calculated RPK as 40 690 848 RPK

Third and last topic is Load Factor (LF),

We used the Available Seat Kilometre (ASK) in our calculations by dividing operation. Basically we divide RPK to ASK. That result gave us LF. However our results are average results as it was written in the assignments.

Average LF per a day is 4.83
Average LF per a week is 33.80
Average LF per a month is 135.2
Average LF per a year is 1622.4
