OPTIMIZATION IN THE FUNCTION OF FLIGHT NETWORK PLANNING

This research explores the interrelationship between transport economics and sustainable development through the establishment of a mathematical model tailored for a new sports and school airport in Gevgelija, Macedonia. By applying the theory of equilibrium and conducting a cost-benefit analysis, the study aims to assess the airport infrastructure's development and its contribution to sustainable growth in air traffic. The ultimate goal is to inform decision-making processes that prioritize projects with substantial indirect benefits, thereby aligning with European aviation standards and enhancing Macedonia's integration into the modern aviation network. This comprehensive approach not only addresses the specific needs of sports and school aviation but also seeks to optimize resource allocation for the overall development of the transport economy in the region. The optimization of airport infrastructure is critical for efficient air transport, necessitating a comprehensive approach that considers the airspace around a planned airport.
