This study is designed to help customers use more comfortable airports by predicting congestion and congestion times by identifying the traffic routes of passengers in the airport building by day of the week and time by using Wi-Fi sensor collectors, one of the IoT technologies. Analysis of passenger traffic analysis data showed that the most congested time zones were from noon. to 2p.m. for all facilities, which could be used to improve major facilities. Regression analysis of factors affecting congestion found that self-check-in reduces congestion and check-in counters increases congestion. These findings will provide important implications for operations, including congestion management at airports.

Currently the international flight passenger visit at Incheon International Airport increased 12.4% compared to January 2017. Such increase affects on the congestion of an airport and the security check is one of the most congested area. There is a prejudice that airport security is not related to the airport service and is only a type of control that limits the quality of service. However, considering the huge impact that airport security agents have on passenger move within the airport, trustworthy, fast and kind service at airport security check is one of the most important part of airport service quality improvement. This research is an importance performance analysis of Incheon International Airport security service passenger satisfaction and its significance using IPA method. This research will contribute to the improvement of airport operation and service quality, by proving the relation between airport security and service.

Aircraft parking stand is a place separated by a pavement marking so that aircraft can park in the apron. If there is not an aircraft parking stand available for aircraft just arrived, the aircraft has to wait for a stand becomes empty on taxi lane taxiway, which annoys passengers, and deteriorates the congestion in the airport. Therefore, it is important to provide adequate parking stands in planning process. In this study, we studied the maximum number of aircraft parking stands required in the past, and estimated the future requirements, for Incheon International airport.

The term "Privatization" has a different meaning in different contexts and cultures. In this paper, the term "Privatization" in the context of airports is defined as the movement of an entity from the government sector to the private sector. This is the definition that is commonly employed in the U.S. Airport revenue can he divided into two sub-categories of aeronautical revenue and non-aeronautical revenue. At many of the major international airports, however, non-aeronautical revenue has been growing faster than the aeronautical revenue, contributing an increasingly larger share of the total revenue. And the best way to enhance simultaneously the airport operations. With the remarkable growth in the air traffic volume of pssengers and cargo. more and more mega-international airports have been built or are under construction. As the air transport demand is expected to increase at an even greater rate in the 21st century, new types of airports which will be free of current major problems. such as airport congestion and flight delays are badly needed.

The construction of New Seoul International Airport is under way despite much controversy. Among much discussed, but not well-formulated controversy is the possibility of the airport as a hub in the North Asia Region. This paper specifies the factors which render it possible for an airport to be a regional hub. Then each factor is applied to the new airport to see whether it can function as a hub airport. Also examined is the qualitative cost and benefit calculation related to the hub function. The usual discussion has missed one big point of cost side of hub function in the belief that the hub only produces benefits to the national economy where the airline and airport industry belong; earlier-than-expected congestion and the necessity to expand the airport sufficiently enough to accommodate the increasing air demand. An airport as a hub is determined by several factors; geographical location ; economic status of the country where the airport belongs ; bilateral air service agreements according to which the airlines can exercise the route rights; the airport charges which directly influence the cost structure of the carriers ; international aviation and airport related policies of each country in the region ; airport capacity etc. The tentative implications of this paper are the followings; first, the new airport is able to function as a regional hub in the transpacific routes which connect Asian countries and North America. That is, directional hubbing by the airlines is implicated; second, the main benefits may be accrued to american airlines exercising all the route rights in the Asian region; third, the governmental effort to make the new airport a regional hub must take caution in optimizing the hubbing level (% of transitting passengers and freight) between the benefits and the costs. Further Studies may include optimal level of hubbing for the new airport and, quantification of the impact of the new airport on the national economy depending on the degree of hubbing.

In general, an airport access system has influenced on airport terminal operation. The congestion and delay in service facilities at an airport are definitely depended on the patterns of passenger arrival behavior and time spent in a terminal. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the passenger arrival behavior at an airport to improve the operations at passenger terminal. Passenger arrival patterns to an airport are mainly depended on factors such as the length of access time. reliability of access time. and provision of transport modes, etc. The focus of this paper is to estimate the relationship between the length of access time and passenger's total time spent to board aeroplane. For this, passenger surveys were conducted at the Gimpo International Airport for a large airport and Sacheon Airport for a small size airport. The mathematical relationship between arrival time at an airport prior to the scheduled time of departure(STD) and access time spent was then estimated. It is considered that the results of this study can be used to reduce congestion and delays, thereby to improve the efficiency of the passenger services at the airports.

제주공항은 슬롯 증대사업을 통한 정시성 개선 노력에도 불구하고 항공 교통량의 확대에 따른 혼잡도의 증가가 지속되고 있다. 제주공항 혼잡도의 근본적인 해소를 위해서 추진되고 있는 신공항 건설이 여러 가지 사유로 지연되고 있으며, 실제 건설계획이 확정되더라도 정상적인 공항 운영까지 상당 기간의 시간이 소요될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 제주 신공항 건설이라는 대규모 신규 투자와는 별개로 신공항 개항 전, 기존 제주공항을 운영하면서 혼잡도를 해소할 수 있는 중단기적 대안을 마련할 필요가 있다. 이에 국토교통부와 한국공항공사는 제주공항에 소형기보다는 최대이륙중량 100톤 이상의 대형항공기(통상 270석 이상 공급) 투입을 유도하는 착륙료 감면 조치를 시행하였으며, 최초 착륙료 10% 감면에서 추가 활성화를 위하여 착륙료 20% 감면으로 확대하여 운영 중이다. 항공사는 착륙료 감면 비율 상향을 통해 대형기 투입에 따른 실질적인 비용이 절감된다면 상기 정책에 적극 동참하게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 제주공항에서 실시 중인 착륙료 감면율 확대 조정이 항공사의 대형기 배정에 미치는 효과를 분석하여 정책의 실효성을 고찰하였으며 이에 따른 개선책을 제시하였다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the productivity, efficiency, and factors affecting the productivity of a spray task from an international airport project. The study is focused on the productivity analysis of the Subcontractor whose job was to supply and apply sprayed-applied fire-resistive material (SFRM) on steel members to achieve the necessary fire ratings on the building structures of the Hamad International Airport, Qatar. The study analyzed the productivity of the four sprayer teams who completed the task at three locations and three areas of the airport. The study found that the productivity of the individual team observed during the SFRM spray task was not only different but was also observed different when they worked at varying floor heights where different factors affecting productivity were predominant. The study found that the efficiency was lowest (47.32%) when the spray team had to work at second-floor heights and factors affecting productivity such as limited accessibility for material movement and lifting, site congestion, lack of continuity of operation due to priority areas and frequent re-handling of machines and tools were present. Besides, the factors such as adverse weather conditions and sub-trades interference affected productivity at all locations. The findings show that productivity depends on multiple factors and those factors need to be identified and addressed to improve productivity. The findings also show that the estimated efficiency was hard to achieve but possible since Team 4 had 97% efficiency on the first floor of the airport.

Baggage Handling System(BHS) is an important element of ground operation services and the importance is further emphasized as air demand increases and passengers change. If there is a problem with departure baggage handling, the aircraft's gate occupancy time will be longer than the initial plan, resulting in congestion of the anchorage leading to final passenger terminal and mooring and road congestion and arrival or It is delayed until the processing of the baggage of the connecting flight and it can cause an economic loss such as confusion in the operation of the airport. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the perception of service quality of BHS users on public Institutions performance through user satisfaction, user performance, and user loyalty. Analysis results using Structural Equation Model was suggested and its implication was discussed in the conclusion.

Being a cost-efficient solution for alleviating the traffic congestion in airspace, Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) has drawn more attentions from not only air traffic controllers but also researchers in the field of Air Traffic Management (ATM). Among other ATFM initiatives, it is believed that Ground Delay Program (GDP) could be effectively applied to reduce the congestion particularly in the relatively small airspace with dense traffic demand. This paper introduces a novel way that suggests flights to be delayed on the departing airports together with amount of the delays (in time) for those flights to be delayed. Adopting a fast-time simulation for predicting airspace delay of each flight for a given flight plan, the method is designed to iteratively and incrementally adjust the departure times in the plan towards reducing total airspace delays. Applying the method to Jeju airport with a hypothetically high demand, the paper demonstrates the airspace delay could be significantly reduced by applying GDP at Gimpo airport where more than 60% of Juju-bound flights departure. Although the simulation model needs to be calibrated and validated for the real-world application, the results clearly shows that the approach can possibly implemented as a tool for preparing the daily plan at the pre-tactical stage defined in the ICAO ATFM manual.
