Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1977-09-07 Abstract The capacity of runways in use for landing aircraft may become the chief bottleneck of the capacity of airports. This runway capacity may result in long queues of aircraft waiting for landing, which in its turn results in unacceptable delays. Two analytic methods to determine these delays are described and the results are compared. The two methods differ in their modelling of the queuing system, which results in an optimistic and a pessimistic estimate of the delays. Finally, a model for Monte Carlo simulations, in use at NLR, is briefly described. The uncertainties in the results from this simulation model are estimated.
