Abstract: Abstract The overall dynamics of an airport are multifaceted and very complex. With the ever increasing number of visitors everyday it is important to understand their behaviour. In this paper we present a new macroscopic system dynamics model of the overall workings of a generic airport. The model follows passengers through to the gates modeling various different behaviors on the way there. It also includes implicitly the fleet composition, the number of lanes and explicitly the impact on the noise level. Extra effort was taken to allow for the inherent stochasticity of many of these multi-layered processes. To make it more flexible on- and off-peak times are implemented as well. Moreover random extreme events in the form of emergency landings and heightened security levels have been included. First results provide insight to the change in system behavior under these circumstances.
