Queueing Theory in Aircraft System
Aircraft Landing Delay, Queuing Theory, M/M/1 Model, Runway Capacity, Air Traffic Management, Airport Congestion
The rapid growth in global air traffic has significantly increased pressure on airport runway systems, resulting in congestion and landing delays. Efficient runway utilization is essential for maintaining safety, minimizing operational costs, and ensuring timely aircraft movement. This study presents a queuing-theoretic analysis of aircraft landing operations using the M/M/1 Queue Model. The model evaluates key performance measures such as runway utilization, average queue length, and expected waiting time. A numerical analysis is conducted to demonstrate the influence of arrival and service rates on system performance. The results reveal that delays increase nonlinearly as runway utilization approaches its maximum capacity. The study highlights the importance of managing arrival flow and improving service efficiency to reduce congestion. Although based on simplifying assumptions, the M/M/1 framework provides valuable insights for airport capacity planning and air traffic management strategies.
