This paper surveys a large variety of mathematical models and up-to-date solution techniques developed for solving a general flight gate scheduling problem that deals with assigning different aircraft activities (arrival, departure and intermediate parking) to distinct aircraft stands or gates....

Die Luftfahrt zählt zu den wachstumsstärksten Branchen in Deutschland. Zudem ist die gute Erreichbarkeit der Wirtschaftszentren für eine stark auf das Ausland fokussierte Volkswirtschaft ein wichtiger Standortfaktor. Doch der Ausbau der Flughafeninfrastruktur kommt in Deutschland nicht...

This paper analyzes slot-based approaches to management of airport congestion, using a model where airlines are asymmetric and internalize airport congestion. Under these circumstances, optimal congestion tolls differ across carriers, and since a slot-sale regime (with its uniform slot price)...

Der Markt für Flugverkehr ist durch einen intensiven Wettbewerb gekennzeichnet. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Branche, die traditionell durch eine hohe Regulierungsdichte gekennzeichnet war. Im Zuge der Liberalisierung erhöhte sich der Wettbewerbsdruck weiter. Korrespondierend veränderten...

The goal of this paper is to bring some unity to the theoretical side of the debate on internalization of airport congestion by showing that all the literature's theoretical results can be derived within one simple and unified framework. The analysis starts by replicating the results of...

As passenger numbers pick up slowly after prolonged crisis, airports are anticipating a return to the stable growth of the past. However, reality is likely to be different.

European airports are now widely recognised as having a considerable economic and social impact on their surrounding regions. These impacts go far beyond the direct effect of an airport’s operation on itsneighbours to the wider benefits that air service accessibility brings to regional business...
