Air Transportation Research Society (ATRS) Lab

The ATRS Lab turns airport data into industry insights. Working with the Air Transport Research Society, students and faculty analyze airport performance, efficiency, costs and competitiveness to help produce the annual ATRS Global Airport Performance Benchmarking Report. Students work with real-world airport and aviation data, applying analytics and research methods to questions that matter to airport executives, policymakers, investors and the broader air transportation industry. Here, students don’t just study airports; they measure performance, benchmark the industry and help shape the conversation about the future of air transportation.
