Abstract :
The Louisville International Airport arrives and departs over 200 flights on a daily basis for United Parcel Service (UPS). The number of arrivals and departures continues to grow with the expansion of the airport and UPS. A simulation model was developed to analyze the daily taxi and takeoff operation of UPS aircraft. Inputs to the model include aircraft schedules, flight patterns and runway information. Customized outputs include aircraft departure statistics for each flight and runway utilization. The model assists planners in developing aircraft departure schedules that minimize taxi and ramp delay times
