Model-based assessment of airport passenger capacity after Poland’s integration with the European Union

Abstract: An airport is a public-use airfield intended for commercial flights. It consists of two parts: the airside, used mainly for aircraft handling, and the landside, intended primarily for passenger handling. An airport handles streams of landing and departing aircraft as well as flows of passengers (departing, arriving, and transfer). Model-based analysis of the passenger handling process is a good tool for determining the capacity of the airport’s passenger area.INTRODUCTION
An airport is a public-use airfield intended for commercial flights. An airport consists of two areas: the airside, where aircraft are mainly handled, and the landside, intended primarily for passenger handling. An airport handles: a stream of aircraft traffic (landing and departing) and a stream of passenger traffic (departing, arriving, transfer, and transit). Model-based analysis of passenger handling is a good tool for determining the landside capacity of an airport.
