“…By applying their approach to a real-world setting, they verified their approximations concerning the observed delays. Zhang et al [23] investigated the impact of airside efficiency improvements with respect to capacity expansions. They especially focused on the take-off and landing distances of runways.…”

Abstract:The majority of the ground vehicles operating on the airside parts of commercial airports are currently powered by diesel engines. These include vehicles such as apron buses, fuel trucks, and aircraft tractors. Hence, these vehicles contribute to the overall CO 2 emissions of the aviation transport system and thus negatively influence its environmental footprint. To reduce this damaging environmental impact, these vehicles could potentially be electrified with on-board batteries as their energy sources. However, the conductive charging of such vehicles via stationary cable connections is rather time-consuming. A dynamic wireless charging system to supply public transportation passenger buses with electric energy while in motion has recently been installed on the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) campus and in the Korean city of Gumi. In this paper, we study configuration problems related to the use of this technology to make airport operations more environmentally sustainable. We concentrate on the power supply for apron buses and analyze the location planning problems related to the distribution of the required power supply and the wireless charging units in the apron road system. To this end, we develop a formal optimization model and discuss the first numerical results.

The aim of this research is to investigate the operational efficiency and potential output increase scenarios of 21 small and medium sized airports (SMA) located in 10 different European countries. A key feature of the proposed Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models is the consideration of two novel inputs related to the number of airlines and scheduled routes operating at each airport, in addition to the more common capital nondiscretionary inputs (runways, boarding gates and apron). These novel inputs are a way of considering the effects of the air transport market on airports' performance and growth prospects. In particular, a model to estimate the growth in passenger numbers, aircraft movements and cargo that can be achieved by an airport through increasing its number of airlines and routes, and assuming an efficient operation, is presented. Also, a multi-objective DEA model is proposed to explore the possible trade-offs in the output Pareto efficient frontier of a given airport. In addition, a second stage fractional regression model specific for explaining DEA efficiency scores is conducted and the results suggest that ownership structure and hub airport status are significant factors for explaining variations in the operational efficiency of European SMA. § Corresponding author.
