Abstract EN
Analysis of flight delay and causal factors is crucial in maintaining airspace efficiency and safety.
However, delay samples are not independent since they always show a certain aggregation pattern.
Therefore, this study develops a novel spatial analysis approach to explore the delay and causal factors which is able to take dependence and the possible problem involved including error correlation and variable lag effect of causal factors on delay into account.
The study first explores the delay aggregation pattern by measuring and quantifying the spatial dependence of delay.
The spatial error model (SEM) and spatial lag model (SLM) are then established to solve the error correlation and the variable lag effect, respectively.
Results show that the SEM and SLM achieve better fit than ordinary least square (OLS) regression, which indicates the effectiveness of considering dependence by employing spatial analysis.
Moreover, the outcomes suggest that, aside from the well-known weather and flow control factors, delay-reduction strategies also need to pay more attention to reducing the impact of delay at the previous airport.
