Departure Throughput Study for Boston Logan International Airport

We propose a new parametric representation of the departure capacity of airports. In particular, we show how the departure capacity can be represented by the variation of the average departure throughput as a function of arrivals, conditioned on persistent departure demand. We also show how this app...

Description
Summary:We propose a new parametric representation of the departure capacity of airports. In particular, we show how the departure capacity can be represented by the variation of the average departure throughput as a function of arrivals, conditioned on persistent departure demand. We also show how this approach can be extended to quantify the dependence of departure capacity on other parameters such as the fleet mix. The proposed approaches are illustrated through the parametric estimation of the departure capacity of Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).
