A Multiyear Airport Stand Development Model with Apron Area Restrictions for Strategic Airport Planning

Before the global SARS-CoV-2 outbreak worldwide air traffic saw yearly increases. New airports were being build or existing airports were being expanded or redeveloped. Strategic airport planning provides structure to these large scale projects while development phasing manages the complex system of airport development and phasing. The purpose...

Airport Strategic Stand Capacity Assessment Applied Through a Value-Focused Thinking Process

Stand capacity assessment is an essential factor in airport planning and design due to the large investments associated with airport development. Fulfilling anticipated demand while still considering future growth is key in airport master planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming optimisation model is proposed, which determines...

Strategic Stand Planning With Selection Of New Flights To Optimize Hub Connections

For a hub airport, capturing transfer passengers and offering better connections are key elements that largely influence its future growth and profitability. This research aims to develop a strategic stand planning model capable of selecting profitable turnarounds that will expand the network of a hub, integrating those turnarounds into the pre...

Aircraft Stand Capacity Model for Strategic Airport Planning: A Schiphol Case Study

The main objective of a Master Plan is to develop an integral long-term development plan to guide the future of an airport. One important element is the capacity analysis as a first step in strategic airport planning. The research commissioned by NACO is boiled down to the main research objective: to contribute to the development of Strategic...
