Abstract: This paper deals with an investigation of the influence of different airport airside area layouts/configurations and Air Traffic Management (ATM) tactics on flight efficiency in terms of time and costs. For given airport layouts/configurations, air traffic demand, and different ATM tactics, some experiments are performed using SIMMOD simulation. Aircraft throughputs and delays, fuel consumption and noise and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are estimated and evaluated. Based on these, flights time and cost inefficiencies are calculated taking into account the cost of fuel consumed, noise generated and GHG emissions, and crew and passenger delays. An analysis of derived inefficiency indicators shows that different airport airside area layouts and ATM tactics could result in different airport functioning efficiencies, which further imply significantly different time and cost efficiency of the flights concerned.
