Coming soon: CAST Schedule Flight Schedule Generation, Traffic Forecasting and Analytics

Precise and scalable airport traffic and passenger demand forecasting and flight schedule analysis and generation.

CAST Schedule is a comprehensive and flexible software tool for precise and scalable airport traffic and passenger demand forecasting as well as flight schedule analysis and generation.

The tool combines traditional forecasting methods with machine learning techniques, enabling detailed calculations of future traffic volumes based on individual flight events. It supports short-term (daily), medium-term (monthly/seasonal), and long-term (year and beyond) forecasts for passengers, baggage, and cargo.

CAST Schedule can be used for top-down and bottom-up forecasting, incorporating factors such as future events, regional development potential, and macroeconomic indicators. A guided workflow allows users to develop realistic growth scenarios to support operational, tactical, and strategic planning.

APPLICATION AREAS

- Forecasting for operational, tactical, and strategic planning

- Demand and capacity planning (e.g., gate allocation, terminal congestion)- Infrastructure adaptation and development (e.g., expansion of terminals and airside areas, upgrades to baggage handling systems)

- Resource and workforce management (e.g., checkpoint demand estimates, staffing needs)

- Budgeting and financial forecasting (e.g., aviation revenues, non-aeronautical income)

Flight schedules created in CAST Schedule are integrated with other CAST software applications, allowing for consistent and scenario-based analyses across various use cases. The tool provides intuitive visualizations and tangible results, enabling smarter decisions and shaping future-ready airport development strategies.
