The approach applied in 2014 and beyond, called Terminal Area Forecast Modernization (TAF-M) , focuses on forecasting passengers and operations at a finer level of granularity -- at the level of origin–destination pairs, of routes serving specific airport pairs, and of flight segments connecting pairs of airports directly.

Business GA activity, especially activity involving jet aircraft, has been more stable, but even this segment was strongly affected by the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 and has been recovering at a slow rate. The TAF also play a critical role in forecasting en route traffic, that is, traffic handled by air route traffic control centers (ARTCCs)

From page 166... ...
As a result, TAF-M provides forecasts of passenger flows in individual major markets (e.g., Miami–Los Angeles) , specific routes (e.g., Miami International Airport–Atlanta International Airport–Los Angeles International Airport)
|
From page 167... ...
The forecast of IFR aircraft handled for en route traffic (ARTCC) takes advantage of the fact that TAF-M generates segment-level forecasts of the number of commercial aircraft operations for each of the principal individual markets (city pairs)
