Cruising and land-based tourism: a case study of Madeira. Creating a synergy between cruising and land-based tourism
This study examines the impact that the cruise industry has had on the island of Madeira, which is considered a destination of excellence and a repositioning hub between the two most important markets in the cruise tourism: the Caribbean and Europe. The research undertaken examines the relationship …

Policies for parking pricing derived from a queueing perspective
… is to reduce the total traffic volume including cruising traffic by implementing a congestion pricing scheme: the imposition of a usage fee on a limited-capacity resource during times of high demand. We review the history of two alternatives for implementing the scheme: road pricing, which …

The Effect of Icing on the Dispatch Reliability of Small Aircraft
… May for the years 2001 to 2003 at maximum cruising altitudes of 6,000 feet, 8,000 feet, 10,000 feet, and 12,000 feet above mean sea level (MSL). It was found that the overall probability of a "no-go" for all three flight paths at the normal cruising altitude of 12,000 feet is 56.8%. When …
