Abstract: Improving the efficiency of ground surface movements is a key preoccupation for airline and airport operators. Taxi-out delays affect airlines’ on-time performance by increasing the time aircraft have to spend on the tarmac. This, in turn, is likely to strain available airport capacity and result in propagated delays throughout the National Airspace System. This paper utilises reliability analysis, also called survival analysis, to understand how the resilience of taxi-out delays is likely to generate airport congestion. This analysis is useful for aviation practitioners who are seeking to set an acceptable level of service at an airport given demand for service and available capacity.
