  • 2004 Airline Competition Plan Update
    2004 AIRLINE COMPETITION PLAN UPDATE Submitted for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport On behalf of the Metropolitan Airports Commission February 22, 2004 INTRODUCTION Under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, or “AIR- 21”, large and medium hub airports that meet a certain threshold of concentration are required to submit competition plans. The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (“MSP” or “Airport”) meets the standards set out in AIR-21, as it is a large hub airport with more than 50% of its traffic served by a single carrier, Northwest Airlines. In 2001, MAC filed an update to its 2000 Airline Competition Plan to present its ongoing efforts to expand airport facilities necessary for vibrant competition and to secure competitive air service in its major markets. The efforts described in the 2001 Update largely represented MSP market conditions and efforts prior to September 11, 2001. The purpose of the 2004 Update will be to provide information pertaining to post September 11 market conditions at MSP as well as MSP’s post September 11 efforts to foster competition. Therefore, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) hereby submits this update to the 2000 Airline Competition Plan and 2001 Update. I. AVAILABILITY OF GATES AND RELATED FACILITIES A. Number and identity of any air carriers that have begun providing or stopped service In December 2001, locally based Sun Country Airlines ceased operations after nearly 20 years of successful operations at MSP. The effects of a slumping economy and September 11 took a significant toll on Sun Country’s ability to sustain operations and essentially forced the carrier into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

  • FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT HANDLING – Case Study: ZAGREB AIRPORT MODEL of ENVIRONMENT - FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT HANDLING – CASE STUDY: ZAGREB AIRPORT
    Igor Štimac, Damir Vince, Bruna Jakšić MODEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT HANDLING – Case Study: ZAGREB AIRPORT MODEL OF ENVIRONMENT - FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT HANDLING – CASE STUDY: ZAGREB AIRPORT Igor Štimac, MSc, IAP Damir Vince, MSc, IAP Zagreb Airport Ltd., Rudolfa Fizira Street 1, p.p. 40, HR-10150 Zagreb, Croatia [email protected], [email protected] Bruna Jakšić, mag.ing.el City office for energetics, environment protection and sustainable development, Dukljaninova 3, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] ABSTRACT In the era of increased awareness surrounding global warming and the importance of renewable energy, airports are affected by the rising costs of fossil fuels, as well as by the demands for the reduction of greenhouse gases emission. This paper reports the effort to determine the benefits of replacing gasoline and diesel-fueled internal combustion engine ground support equipment (ICE GSE) with electric ground support equipment (eGSE). The model of environment-friendly aircraft handling will be based on the examination of cost- effectiveness and reduction of greenhouse gases in the case of replacing fossil-fueled GSE with cleaner, more efficient electric-powered alternatives. In comparison with the current procedures of Ground Handling, the authors choose Zagreb Airport Ltd. as the representative airport for building Case Study and Airbus A319/A320 as the reference aircraft for calculation of greenhouse gases emission during handling process. The calculation method will be based on real time duration of processes performed by each piece of GSE during aircraft handling procedure. The usage of the model will be tested on aircraft handling for two airline business models: network and low cost.

    Fare Types and Their Effects on Aircraft Ground Handling Vuori, Salla Marostica, Gabriel 2017 Kerava 2 Laurea University of Applied Sciences Kerava Fare Types and Their Effects on Aircraft Ground Handling Salla Vuori Gabriel Marostica Degree Programme in Tourism Bachelor’s Thesis June, 2017 3 Laurea University of Applied Sciences Abstract Kerava Degree Programme in Tourism Salla Vuori Gabriel Marostica Fare Types and Their Effects on Aircraft Ground Handling Year 2017 Pages 27 This Bachelor’s thesis discusses different fare types in aviation and how they affect aircraft ground handling and the work in practice. The aim was to provide information about fare types and to recognize the problems the fare types have on ground handling. There was no earlier research conducted on this subject in Theseus database. The thesis includes a theoretical section that describes the different fare types and the cus- tomer service closely related to this topic is also given consideration to in the theoretical section. The theoretical section also discusses the basics of aircraft ground handling. The study was based on quantitative methods. A questionnaire was given to the employees of Aviator Airport Services Finland Ltd to address the problems and to gain information from the people who confront these issues on a daily basis. In total 41 responses were received on pa- per. Due to the low number of responses, the thesis has qualitative research features. The results were analyzed and themed. The results indicate that the respondents noticed communication and the amount of hand luggage to be the main issues. However, there was also some duality in the responses and a part of the respondents saw that there were no pro b- lems at the departure gate due to difference in fare types and a significant part who thought it caused problems considerably.

  • Ground Handling Simulation with CAST
    Master Thesis Department of Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering Ground Handling Simulation with CAST .1.1 Fachbereich Fahrzeugtechnik und Flugzeugbau Author: Sara Sanz de Vicente Supervisor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dieter Scholz, MSME Delivered: 13.09.2010 2 Abstract Nowadays low cost airlines carriers have grown becoming an important part of the passenger air traffic market. Since they are looking for ground handling operations which would reduce the aircraft costs, a new aircraft can be developed optimizing the turnaround process. This master thesis is focused on the analysis of ground handling processes and and the description and application of the simulation program Comprehensive Airport Simulation Technology (CAST) Ground Handling. This program enables to obtain a 3D simulation of different service arrangements of a reference aircraft model, including an analysis about involved costs in the turnaround process. The analysis of ground handling processes is based on the real-time ground handling videos recorded at different airports by ARC Aachen. The videos were analyzed to collect data of ground handling process times and characteristics. The data was summarized in and Excel table in order to be statistically analyzed. Based on the results of the statistical analysis, the turnaround Gantt charts have been created and analysed showing the features of the turnaround scenario with the shortest turnaround time and the smallest ground handling costs. The conducted simulation shows the ground handling process of a reference aircraft based on the Airbus A320 during a turnaround. The results that have been extracted from the simulation are the ground handling process times and the costs and the visual simulation in 3D of the defined scenario.

Through the Next Generation Air Transport System project, a comprehensive overhaul of the airspace infrastructure is envisaged which includes major hub airports like Chicago‟s O‟Hare International Airport (ORD). Constantly affected by delays, incursions and capacity constraints, the risks of the airport layout modifications at ORD after completion of the O‟Hare Modernization Program (OMP) have been identified in this thesis. Further, the use of perimeter or end-around taxiways (EAT) have been tested in ARENA© using a full-scale post-OMP airport layout of ORD. Impacts on safety, runway occupancy times and overall airport efficiency in future high traffic scenarios have been analyzed. Results show that the implementation of EATs will drastically reduce the potential for incursions with a 15-25 percent increase in global-level airport taxi-times.
