text: Air traffic management is a critical component of aviation, aiming to balance
safety, capacity and demand within controlled airspace. This research analyses
Iran's domestic air transport network (2018-2021) by developing annual Origin-Destination
(OD) impedance matrices based on flight frequency. The methodology quantifies
network connectivity, revealing a highly centralized structure dominated by core
corridors like Tehran-Mashhad, which carried over 10,500 flights in 2019. The
COVID-19 pandemic caused a severe disruption in 2020, with traffic on major routes
falling by nearly half, followed by a partial recovery in 2021. Analysis shows
core hubs rebounded faster than peripheral airports, widening accessibility gaps.
Through origin-destination matrix processing, the system identifies high density
air routes and analyses historical trends in airspace utilization. The impedance
matrix, validated against data (R²=0.87), successfully maps the intense service
on hub links and the high impedance of sparse peripheral routes. Then an interactive
Web GIS platform was implemented for spatiotemporal analysis of air traffic density.
