Abstract :
The United States Air Force´s Air Mobility Command operates airlift missions that service the United States Navy´s Pacific Fleet in the Indian Ocean. All of these missions travel through Singapore´s airport, which has very restrictive operating hours. This paper discusses the use of simulation to assess the cycle time impacts of changing Singapore and Fujairah´s operating hours and aircraft ground times
