| Abstract | The objective of this study is to determine whether the gravity
and opportunity models are applicable to the distribution of international airline passengers between Bangkok and other cities, and to test the accuracy of the evolved models in making the theoretical distribution. City population, GNP per capita, and their product were used as the traffic generating factor in the gravity model. The product of city population and GNP per capita, which gave the highest coefficient of correlation in the gravity model, was used as the subtended volume in the opportunity model. Three forms of impedance factor employed in
the models were: travel cost, distance, and travel time. The data were obtained from the passenger manifests recorded by all airlines which served Bangkok; a 20-percent sample taken from a period of one year was the basic data. |
