“…After that, the drivers had to leave the K&F zone and the airport surface access in the direction from which they arrived (i.e., to the east of the airport-the first exit in Figure 1). Driving tests were carried out during July and August of the year 2020 when the air transport traffic all over the world was drastically reduced because of the declared COVID-19 pandemic [39,40]. At the same time, these months were associated with the moment when weakening the pandemic restrictions in Poland.…”

When choosing the way to come to airports, quite a large number of passengers prefer when they are dropped off/picked up at airports using kiss-and-fly (K&F) zones. Such a travel option is associated with a special traffic organisation on the airport ground access. As there are no common regulations or standards when creating such a complex infrastructure object, it could be a challenge for drivers when searching and moving through it. Therefore, the main aim of the presented study was to assess and verify the eye-tracking technique as an objective tool, which can allow one to identify and estimate confusion points met by road users when using such an object. The field tests with 23 drivers were conducted in the K&F zone of Kraków Airport, and the data analysis focused on the traffic organisation and road signage as its key and integral parts. The eye-tracking approach allowed us to clearly find confusing situations for drivers as well as explain their reasons confirming its suitability and usefulness for the declared aim. Also, the perception of standardised and unstandardised signage of the K&F zone as well as the influence of route familiarity for drivers were discussed.

“…Borucka et al 17 identified the time series describing the number of airline flights in Poland in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tolcha 18 estimated the immediate and long-term effects of COVID-19 on air transport markets and forecasted timescales for the recovery of the markets for domestic and international flights in nine African countries using the SARIMAX method.…”

In early 2020, the aviation sector was one of the business lines adversely affected by the Covid 19 outbreak that affected the whole world. As a result, some countries imposed travel restrictions. Following these restrictions, air traffic density has decreased significantly worldwide. Since air traffic density directly affects almost all operations in air transportation, analyzing these data is very essential. For this purpose, SARIMA models, one of the linear time series models, and multilayer perceptron model (MLP), one of the artificial neural network methods suitable for nonlinear modeling, were applied to the air traffic data regarding Turkish airspace between 2010 and 2019, and the actual air traffic density was compared with the forecasts obtained from these analyses. It is considered that the results of this study are essential for organizations conducting aviation operations to take into consideration while doing future planning.
