Abstract

Airports are highly complex systems that can generate economic growth
on their own. Accordingly, airports should take proactive actions to
create a status quo between the stakeholders(the airport itself,
airlines, passengers) in the tactical planning of the aircraft stand
allocation. Namely, the harmonization between the stakeholders’
interests is either reactively or not at all considered, so one cannot
be certain that the objectives of the stakeholders are met. For that
reason, a methodology is developed using Weight Space Search on a
many-objective tactical stand allocation model to establish a
reference performance set from which decision alternatives are created
using the k-means clustering algorithm. Decision makers then can
proactively assess and choose decision alternatives on the performance
of the tactical stand allocation to identify how the different
stakeholders can achieve their goals in (partial) synergy. The airport
can also apply the concept of empathetic negotiation to establish a
favorable status quo.
