In ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) Europe Region, the ATFCM (Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management) is managed by EUROCONTROL (European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation) for a long time. Planned ATFCM applications on nowadays and future time periods are not well enough to solve the airport congestion in an effective way. In the present case, main purpose of this study is to give alternative solution suggestions for narrow airport capacity and to ease the parking positions by making new departure time offers to the airline operators. In the scope of this study, to create free parking positions in every hour zone, air traffic flows are arranged from the imaginary airports to the target arrival airport in the MS Office Excel programme. According to the results of the study, to the target airport 10 extra flights per day and 3650 extra flights per year may be arranged. Furthermore, it is considered that only type of aircrafts B737-800 and A320 landed and departed to/from the target airport, 1.327.140 extra passengers may be transported annually, as number of A320 is 4 times more than number of B737-800. The possible advantages and disadvantages of this study are discussed in the result section.

This paper is aimed to develop the optimization model of time slot utilization for both runway and apron gate of airport system. The model considers the objectives of airline company to minimize flight-taxiing-time and waiting-time for both landing and take-off. The optimization makes use of Network Representation (NR) in the form of two bipartite networks in order to transform the problem of runway and apron gate assignment into the network flow problem. Maximum Matching and Minimum Cost Flow on NR are the core of the model. An illustrative example is presented. The result shows that the model could increase both runway and apron gate capacities to as close as their theoretical capacities. Compared to the common practice which concerns only; the nearest available runway slot time, behind the scheduled time, and the nearest location of available gates to serve the flight, the model could reduce the total taxiing and waiting time.

“…While there is an incentive to spread services throughout the day because it lowers the costs of the land-side workforce and facilities and reduces airside congestion (Abeyrathne, 2000), most analysis justify peak-load pricing policies in terms of reducing the inefficiency that accompanies over-investment in capacity. There has also been little analysis of the costs in peak periods for specific airlines (Frank et al, 2005;Kemppainen et al, 2007).…”

a b s t r a c t Many airports suffer from peak-load demand problems. To meet unconstrained demand at peak periods, they often invest in extra capacity that may be under used at other times. We use data from the airport in Gran Canaria to illustrate that costs associated with the peak-load problem are not only those related to the new investment. This paper provides a methodology for analyzing the costs arisen due to the peakload demand, to explore alternative airport policies and to illustrate the problem of congestion at airport terminals. The results suggest that a situation in which airports differentiate charges by peak and offpeak days would be much desirable.
