Increasing number of air travellers in recent years and the emergence of multi-airport cities throughout the world has made the behaviour of travellers regarding the choice of the origin airport even more important. Analysis of this behaviour helps for a better future planning and development of competing airports as an important element of their demand prediction. In this paper, particular emp...

Typically major cities (London, New York, Tokyo) are served by several airports effectively creating a Multi-Airport System or Metroplex. The operations of the Metroplex airports are highly dependent on one another, which renders their efficient management difficult. This paper proposes a framework for the prioritization of arrival and departure routes in Multi-Airport Systems Terminal Manoeuvr...

A ccording to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 800 million people are expected to board airplanes in 1999. In 1987, the 17 largest airports accounted for more than half of the air passenger enplanement in the United States.’ As airports get larger and more complex, passengers expect more help from curbside to aircraft seat. With extensive hotel, shopping, and recreational complexes sp...

This paper presents an analysis of the dynamics of evolution of multi-airport systems worldwide that can help to guide their effective development in the future. Given the capacity constraints on existing major airports, the development of multi-airport systems is going to be a key mechanism by which air transportation systems around the world will be able to meet future demand. In order to bet...

The aim of this paper is to design an approach evaluate the expected efficiency and performance future airport infrastructure. First, sampling method select similar airports developed based on socioeconomic operational variables that are summarized in a proxy variable; second, ARIMA-GARCH-Bootstrap applied forecast selected outputs (PAX ATMS) whilst inputs (Cities, Gates, Runaways, Airport Size...

Niigata City can be easily accessed from Tokyo by the JR Joetsu Shinkansen (100 min.), which arrives approximately every 30 min. Niigata Airport has direct flights from Nagoya Chubu Centrair, and Osaka International Airport, and is also an international gateway with regular flights from Harbin, Incheon, Shanghai, Taipei and other international cities. It takes 25 min. by bus from Niigata Airpor...

Fall 2015 | Acoustics Today | 27 Introduction Vigorous community opposition to aircraft noise exposure is more the rule than the exception at airports worldwide, particularly when efforts are made to increase airport capacity or change operational patterns. Since the introduction of commercial jet service in the late 1950s, these disputes have often been highly contentious, to the point of inte...

Topological analyses of multi-airport regional air transport networks are the basis for sustainable development systems. In this study, we modeled Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region’s airport infrastructure as a network and presented weighted approach by which to analyze structure robustness from perspective complex theory. The analysis Airport Network (YRDAN) indicates that it is small-world net...

We introduce a new framework of Airport and Railway Problems, which combines capacitated facility location with network design. In this framework we are given a graph with weights on the vertices and on the edges, together with a parameter k. The vertices of the graph represent cities, and weights denote respectively the costs of opening airports in the cities and building railways that connect...
