Welcome to the MONITOR Portal
The aim of this website is to support actors with information needs on long-term air transport development, especially for strategic analysis, modelling activities and quantification exercises. To reach this aim the website offers a monitoring system consisting of three elements, which represent altogether a systematic and complementary view on the long-term development of air transport:

[- ]MONITOR Database
The (meta-) database offers detailed information on air transport relevant sources with regard to development statistics and analyses. Those deal on the one hand with air transport internal topics but cover on the other hand also relevant framework developments. Due to IPR issues it was not possible to make many of these sources publicly available on this webpage. Therefore the content, accessibility and quality are in detail described by meta-data attributes what allows to estimate the value of a source with regard to different usages.

The indicator section contains a preliminary set of 40 indicators on global air transport development. This indicators provide a fast and clear overview on long-term trends in the air transport sector dealing with topics such as the global airline fleet, airline and airport traffic and financial performance and the development of air transport in the environmental context. In addition, an assessment of the past and current sustainability degree of the air transport system has been undertaken in relation to strategic and sustainable development goals from industry and politics.

The future study section provides an overview on recent studies on the long-term development of the air transport system, either by forecasts or scenarios. This part of the MONITOR portal was designed in order to address the progress in the air transport sector and hint at new trends within the air transport system.

Background
The MONITOR website was basically developed within the project "MONITOR" – Monitoring System of the Development of Global Aviation - that was funded in the EC research 7th framework programme and accomplished in cooperation of DLR (German Aerospace Center), NLR (National Aerospace Laboratory), the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Slot Consulting and the Center for Aviation Competence of the University of St. Gallen. Since the EU project has been finished, the MONITOR website is continuously developed by DLR.
