Analysis of time series of passengers volume in selected European airports

This bachelor thesis is focused on analysis of monthly time series of passengers volume in three selected European airports (Airport Vaclav Havel -- Prague-Ruzyně, Airport Franz Josef Strauß -- Munich and Airport Schwechat -- Vienna). This thesis examines monthly volume data of passengers in 2001-2013 period. The data were collected from the Eurostat web pages, airport databases and by direct communication between the author and the individual airports. The major goal of this thesis is to explore the development of the time series. In the analysis we use basic characteristics of time series and selected basic methods for modelling the trend and seasonal components. The ambition of this thesis is to figure out, if the numbers of transported persons differ in different months of the year,if and how has a popularity of air transport increased and to compare time series of different aiports
