Abstract

ABSTRACT



The role
of air transport in transportation system is increasing every year. However,
there can be difficulties to meet this increase. Therefore, efforts to resolve
the problems in air transport become important. Delays and congestions are seen
in the air transport system are among these problems. Airports are one of the most
critical points of air transportation system facing these problems. One of the
measures to be taken to resolve this problem is improving the existing system.



Istanbul
Ataturk Airport, the busiest airport in Turkey, often experiences delay and
congestion problems. To propose a solution to these problems and to reduce
runway occupancy time in Istanbul Ataturk Airport, additional fast-exit
taxiways to the runway 05 were constructed. In this study, the impact of
infrastructure changes made in Istanbul Ataturk Airport is examined, and
traffic flow and capacity analysis is carried out comparing three different
runway configurations. In consequence of the construction of additional
fast-exit taxiways to the runway 05, airport capacity has increased 1.9 per
cent. It is also shown that the high average delay time reduces airport
capacity.
