Project Overview：
In order to grasp the trends in international air transportation, this research expands and updates the international air transportation database of this Institute, including the acquisition of information on the supply and demand side of international air transportation, and uses the data exploration technology to activate the scope of data application, to assist this Institute in conducting air transportation related research. Important research topics in recent years include "Analysis and Comparison of the Origin and Destination Distribution of Air Passenger Transportation in Taoyuan International Airport", "Initial Exploration of the Supply and Demand Situation of Air Passenger Transportation Market of Our Country and New Southbound Countries with Big Data Analysis", "Air Passenger Transportation Origin and Destination Analysis between the New Southbound Countries and Our Country as well as Four Major Airports in North American".
Research Outcomes：
(1)We continuously updated the data and strengthened the functions in 2017, including maintaining the database, updating the contents of the database, improving the user interface, and expanding the analysis functions and statistical analysis of the data.
(2)The current database includes the data on the basic facilities, operations and traffic volume of 185 airports, including in our country, the new southbound countries, direct cross-strait flights and important global destinations.
(3)We purchased the IATA MarketIS passenger origin, destination and transit information of 11 airports including Taoyuan, Incheon, Hong Kong, Tokyo Narita, Singapore Changi, Shanghai Pudong, Dubai, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York Kennedy and Vancouver in 2017, and conducted issue-based analysis.
Promotion of Outcomes and Benefits ：
Since the establishment of this database, it has been able to effectively grasp the market situation between the Taoyuan Airport and the main competitive airports, and use the database to analyze important issues. The research outcomes promotion and benefits are as follows:
(1)We assisted providing the major overseas airport facilities and operational information, and the travel information in transit to European countries through Hong Kong and Incheon Airports, in response to the request of the Civil Aeronautics Administration in 2016 and 2017.
(2)We invited the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Civil Aeronautics Administration, and the Taoyuan International Airport Corporation for discussion on November 28, 2017 to propose recommendations on enhancing the usability of the database system, future analysis and directions for improvement.
(3)We reported the database establishment, maintenance and data analysis at an internal conference of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications on April 3, 2018.
(4)This Institute will invite the Department of Navigation and Aviation, Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the airlines for discussion in the first half of 2018, to share the analysis results related to the new southbound countries in the database, as a reference for policy.
