Air traffic is continuously increasing and more efficient air transport systems are required to handle the air travel demand. The study investigates the expansion of Lanseria International Airport in Gauteng, South Africa. Expansion of Lanseria requires a study of the airport apron layout to ensure efficient passenger-aircraft flow as well as the e...

Stated choice models are often applied to air travel choice studies. The experimental designs are typically based on setting a fixed number of options – fixed choice set – and controlled attribute levels. A major concern for airlines is obtaining estimates of recapture and upsell. In this paper a simulated population demonstrates that fixed choice...

Today's tourism industry is not possible without air transport, modern airports infrastructure, efficient and safe airline services and worldwide air transport networks. According to the WTO report (2006), 40% of the international tourists now travel by air. The main purpose of this paper is to review the literature of air transport and tourism res...

The timing and origin of Zika virus (ZIKV) introduction in Brazil has been the subject of controversy. Initially, it was assumed that the virus was introduced during the FIFA World Cup in June–July 2014. Then, it was speculated that ZIKV may have been introduced by athletes from French Polynesia (FP) who competed in a canoe race in Rio de Janeiro i...

The demand of air travel continues to increase over time, due to its short travel time, reliability and safety. Problems then arise when airport capacity, especially airside (mainly runway) capacity cannot cope with the demand. Some airports build the expensive additional infrastructure, while some others believe that manage on system is more effic...

Air travel is one of the fastest growing modes of transportation, however, the effects of aircraft noise on populations surrounding airports is hindering its growth. In an effort to study and ultimately mitigate the impact that this noise has, many airports continuously monitor the aircraft noise in their surrounding communities. Noise monitoring a...

... One of the issues related to airport airside capacity planning and management that is usually pushed aside, giving priority to huge infrastructural changes (building of a new runway or new terminal complex). It deals with apron development that, together with the development of other elements (taxiways, curbside, etc.), should follow expected changes in demand, in order to maintain efficient functioning of the entire system [2]. ...

Airport aprons, aprons, ramps, or asphalt, are areas of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, or ridden. Although the use of an apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on a vehicle, it is usually more accessible to users than a runway or taxiway. The method used is to look at the rules or regulations in force in Indonesia, namely on Peraturan Direktur Jenderal Perhubungan Udara, No : SKEP/77/VI/2005 about Persyaratan Teknis Pengoperasian Fasilitas Teknik Bandar Udara. In this study, the extent of apron needs with the ability to accommodate 2 to 3 aircraft will be calculated. If the calculation results use aircraft specifications N219 (Nurtanio) and Stemme S-15, the Clearance between aircraft ready to takeoff is 556.5 m2.
