CAPACITY EVALUATION OF THE AIRPORT SECURITY SCREENING CHECKPOINT UNDER COVID-19 MEASURES: A SIMULATION STUDY
Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak that occurred at the end of 2019 has affected the whole world. The aviation industry has also been one of the most affected sectors by the epidemic. In order to prevent the spread of the virus, the country borders were closed to entry and exit and passenger transportation came to a halt. With the resumption of flights, international civil aviation organizations and civil aviation authorities of the countries have taken various measures. In the light of these measures, new regulations were made about processes from entrance to the airport to completion of the flight. New applications such as the use of personal protective equipment and social distance caused many changes in airport processes. In this study, firstly, the measures taken within the scope of the COVID-19 outbreak were introduced, then the airport security screening process of Milas-Bodrum Airport was modeled in line with these measures and capacity analysis was carried out by simulation method. While creating the model, the passenger traffic data of the airport from previous years, similar studies in the literature and expert opinions were used. As the result of the study, it is thought that the measures taken within the scope of the COVID-19 outbreak will increase the usage rates of the process units and may cause disruption in the flow of passengers.
