Noting that the airport is assumed to be opened in 2027.
b- The following assumptions will be followed to find out the percentage of
West Bank citizens who may use Al-Auja Airport in 2027:- Economic growth and development in the infrastructure and transportation sector will
lead to an increase of 5%. - Eliminating the restrictions caused by the Israeli occupation leads to an increase of 3%.
- Having a closer airport within Palestine without the need to travel to a nearby country
will increase the percentage by 2%.
So, the total increment between 2019 and 2027 is 10%.
c- As explained previously, the average percentage of West Bank citizens who
will travel by Al-Auja Airport is 22.3% nowadays (Table 5 - 6) and will be
32.3% in 2027.d- For the growth rate in air passengers demand in the coming years assume the
following:- An annual increment of 2% through 2023-2030, so the percentage will be 46.3% in
2034. - An annual increment of 1% through 2031-2037, so the percentage will be 54.3% in
2042.
