In addition to the increasing passenger demand, airline frequency competition is another reason for the growing demand for airport resources. By providing more flight frequency, an airline attracts more passengers. As a result, demand for flight operations often exceeds capacity at congested airports, resulting in delays and disruptions. At some congested airports, the limited airport capacity ...

Deep convolutional neural network (CNN) achieves outstanding performance in the field of target detection. As one of the most typical targets in remote sensing images (RSIs), airport has attracted increasing attention in recent years. However, the essential challenge for using deep CNN to detect airport is the great imbalance between the number of airports and background examples in large-scale...

With the expected continued increases in air transportation, the mitigation of the consequent delays and environmental effects is becoming more and more important, requiring increasingly sophisticated approaches for airside airport operations. Improved on-stand time predictions (for improved resource allocation at the stands) and take-off time predictions (for improved airport-airspace coordina...

This paper introduces an Origin-Transfer-Destination (O-T-D) model that predicts the route and segment passenger flows between airport pairs using origin-destination (O-D) passenger demand between airport pairs. The model is developed based on a multinomial logit model and covers 443 nodes (i.e., airports) and about 6000 links (flight segments). To create airline schedules between any airport p...

Abstract INAA – flight and noise monitoring at Frankfurt Airport visualizes flights and measures of noise made around Frankfurt airport. It calculates emissions of single flights and displays height profiles of arriving and departing planes. So-called “flight doors” describe no-flight-zones for noise abatement. They show in a three-dimensional way how planes are within horizontal and lateral li...

.. Runway incursions are a persistent problem in airport ground-movement operations. Numerous critical conflicts and several fatal accidents have occurred as a result of unauthorized or otherwise inappropriate entry of aircra& or surface vehicles onto an active runway. Many of these conflicts developed quickly, leaving little time for effective intervention by either the controller or the pilot...

Collisions between aircraft and birds, birdstrikes, pose a serious threat to aviation safety. The occurrence of these events is influenced by land-uses in the surroundings of airports. Airports located in the same region might have different trends for birdstrike risk, due to differences in the surrounding habitats. Here we developed a quantitative tool that assesses the risk of birdstrike base...

Entry screening for influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 at Auckland International Airport, New Zealand, detected 4 cases, which were later confirmed, among 456,518 passengers arriving April 27-June 22, 2009. On the basis of national influenza surveillance data, which suggest that ≈69 infected travelers passed through the airport, sensitivity for screening was only 5.8%.

Ben-Gurion International Airport operates 24 hours at day for landing airplanes. The areas in vicinity of Ben-Gurion International Airport are very populated. The noise of the landing airplanes exceeds the common thresholds. This paper examines the current situation and suggests a possible solution.
