Management model of passengers service at the airport terminal landside in terms of the level of service assessment

Abstract

The article presents a model of logistic support for the operation of a ground handling agent at an airport. The presented model enables the assessment of the system in the check-in and security control subsystems. The aim of the model is to forecast the system's assessment from the passenger's point of view. The rating given by the passenger has a significant impact on the non-aeronautical revenues obtained by airports. Therefore, it is a key rating indicator allowing selection of the appropriate number of resources to provide passenger service depending on the given flight schedule. The article proposes the use of a hybrid of two methods - computer simulation and multiple regression. By computer simulation, waiting and service times in queuing systems are determined for each passenger. The use of multiple regression allows to determine the forecasted system assessment from the point of view of passenger service quality. This article takes into account the dependence of check-in and security control systems, which affects the overall service of passengers’ quality at the landside.
