“…They allow an aircraft to taxi unrestrictedly to the terminal building or to the runway rather than having aircraft hold and cross an active runway. Although the taxi distance increases compared to conventional taxiways, the overall taxi time decreases as the aircraft do not have to wait to cross an active runway [19]. Besides, they can reduce potential runway incursions, frequency occupation, and fuel burn and emissions due to non-stop taxi [20].…”

The demand for air transportation increases rapidly each year and introduces serious problems such as system-wide delays and congestions in air traffic operations. Airports, one of the most critical points of the air transportation system, are affected most by these problems. One of the most effective approach to reduce delays and congestions is to improve existing airside capacity of airports through the enhancement of taxiway network around runways. This study investigates the impacts of various rapid-exit and end-around taxiway combinations on capacity and delays for İstanbul Atatürk Airport. Four different runway configurations are analyzed using fast-time simulations for the existing (baseline) and improved (alternative) taxiway network of the airport. The results show that end-around taxiways can decrease departure taxi times up to 52% and rapid-exit taxiways reduce arrival runway occupancy time by 10.6%. Besides, implementations of end-around taxiways can improve runway capacity especially when the airport experiences intense arriving traffic while rapid-exit taxiways improves runway utilization for arrivals.

End-around taxiways (EAT) have been implemented at four major U.S. airports to increase the safety and throughput of parallel runway systems. This paper proposes two new runway and taxiway choices that become possible because of EATs. Instead of using the inboard runway to take off, the departing aircraft could use the outboard runway and use the EAT as the taxi-out path. A discrete-event stochastic simulation model simulates the operations of four different runway and taxiway choices. Two experiments compare the performance of the four choices on average taxi times, average fuel consumption per taxi, and number of runway crossings. In general, the results indicate that using the outboard runway to take off and the EAT as a taxi-out path would yield benefits in both taxi-in and taxi-out performance, as well as enhancing runway safety. Using the outboard runway to land and the EAT as a taxi-in path would yield benefit in taxi-out performance and runway safety at the expense of a longer taxi-in time. Concerns related to using the EAT as the taxi-out path, as well as potential future research topics, are discussed.
