Modelling airport congestion charges

Abstract: This article deals with modelling congestion charges at an airport. In this context, congestion charging represents internalizing the cost of marginal delays that a flight imposes on other flights due to congestion. The modelling includes estimating congestion and flight delays, the cost of these delays and the efficiency of particular flights following the introduction of a congestion charge. The models are applied to an airport -- New York LaGuardia -- to illustrate their ability to handle more realistic congestion scenarios as well as the nature of the congestion to be charged, the effectiveness of the congestion charge and a sensitivity analysis based on changes in the nature of congestion as well as characteristics of demand in terms of flight-aircraft type and airport capacity.
