  • A PETRI NET FRAMEWORK for the REPRESENTATION and ANALYSIS of AIRCRAFT TURNAROUND OPERATIONS Zheng Yang Sng and R. John Hansman
    A PETRI NET FRAMEWORK FOR THE REPRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT TURNAROUND OPERATIONS Zheng Yang Sng and R. John Hansman This report is based on the Master’s Thesis of Zheng Yang Sng submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Report No. ICAT-2019-05 June 2019 MIT International Center for Air Transportation (ICAT) Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 USA 1 [Page Intentionally Left Blank] 2 A Petri Net Framework for the Representation and Analysis of Aircraft Turnaround Operations by Zheng Yang Sng Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 17, 2019, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Abstract Aircraft turnaround operations is a key determinant of both airline and airport performance. Airlines incur both direct and indirect costs from poor on-time departure performance, particularly when these delays propagate through an airline’s schedule and additional resources have to be utilized for schedule recovery. As for airports, poor stand utilization due to excessive stand occupancy times can give rise to stand shortages and last-minute reallocations which disrupt operations across both terminal and airside. As such, optimization of aircraft turnaround operations provides opportunities for improvements at a systemic level. Petri Nets were chosen as the modelling tool as they possess features which can sufficiently account for both the complexity and uncertainty associated with aircraft turnarounds. Petri Nets models were first constructed to provide general representations for the turnaround operations of narrow-bodied B738 and wide-bodied A333 aircrafts.

  • Appendix H Detailed Airport Case Studies
    ACRP 01-14 Considering and Evaluating Airport Privatization Appendix H Appendix H Detailed Airport Case Studies H.1 Case Study Selections Case studies can be a useful means of illustrating first-hand experiences and lessons learned from those experiences. The purpose of this task is to document case studies to illustrate lessons learned for a range of airport sizes, privatization strategies, and forms of governance for both successful and unsuccessful efforts. For each case study, the research team documented (1) the initial goals and objectives of the airport sponsor for undertaking the privatization initiative, (2) a summary of the process employed, (4) a summary of the business terms of the initiative, (4) documentation of the experience to date, and (5) lessons learned. Literature reviews, transaction document reviews, and interviews were used to gather information for the case studies. Each case study considers the objectives, timeline, competitive bidding process, stakeholder interests, business terms, and the consequences (including development and operational experiences) and then presents lessons learned. It should be noted that, where the responses of individual interview participants are referred to in this report, these represent the interviewee’s own views and perceptions. However such responses have only been included to where they appear to represent opinions held more widely, or have been directly substantiated by other means On the basis of recommendations and justifications put forth by the research team, the ACRP Panel decided to ask the team to conduct case studies of the domestic and international airports as noted below.

Rudy's began in 1983 when two brothers, Joe and John Celentano, turned a request for food takeout from their family's restaurant near Teterboro Airport in New Jersey into a company that is the leader in the $150 million business aviation in­flight catering industry. Brothers Sal and Rudy Celentano opened a family restaurant with an Italian flair in 1976. Some of its clientele came from people working at Teterboro Airport. The aviation crowd liked the food and wanted the Celentano’s to furnish boxed meals for their aircraft passengers. The brothers declined, but Sal's sons Joe and John saw the opportunity, and "Rudy's Inflight Catering" was born. In 1983, the brothers produced meals for about 16 aircraft a week. They were doing 15 to 20 aircraft a day, a year and a half later. Today, Rudy's provides meals for an average of 400 flights a day out of New York and Washington DC area airports, a number that can triple on peak days. Rudy's Inflight Catering has grown over the past 20 years from a 2,000 square foot kitchen to a 17,000 square foot building in Teterboro. Rudy's Inflight Catering also has facilities located directly on the field at Westchester County Airport in New York and in Chantilly, Virginia, located 5 miles from Dulles International Airport.

  • Overview of Aviation Aviation First Became a True
    Overview of Aviation Aviation first became a true “industry” when the Wright Brothers flew the first powered, controlled aircraft in 1903. After their pioneering flight, aircrafts were used mainly for military purposes (throughout World Wars One and Two). In 1910, Glenn Curtiss popularized aviation in the Hudson River Valley by making the first nonstop flight from Albany to New York City. After the wars, aviation started to become a commercial business, by using ex-military aircrafts to transport people and cargo. By the 1970s, the aviation industry had begun to blossom into the industry we all know and use today. Aviation became so popular in the Hudson River Valley because of the many airfields in the area. These airfields were heavily concentrated around this area mainly because of the proximity to West Point and the necessity for military pilots. Had West Point not been in the Hudson River Valley, we would not have nearly as many airports in the area as we do today. Specific individuals mainly influenced Stewart International Airport and Albany International Airport. Stewart Airport was influenced by The Stewarts, who donated their land to be used as an airport, Douglas MacArthur, who proposed flight training for cadets at the airport, and Nelson Rockefeller, who saw Stewart’s potential to support the metropolitan area. The MTA also played a role in tuning Stewart into a major airport. Glenn Curtiss’ historic flight, and Charles Lindbergh, who helped the local government decide on using the Shaker land as the new airport site, influenced Albany. Local and state governments, as well as the military, which used airports such as Westchester and Dutchess for flight training and bases, mainly influenced the County Airports.
