I find it difficult to understand why anyone would ask that question.
The airport know exactly how many people are on every flight. They have to, in order to invoice the airline for handling them.
They know exactly how many cars arrive or leave at every minute of every day. A ticket is always used.
They have at least a decade of history to look at.
It is beyond question that the airport have this data and can use it to model parking demand.
