Abstract
Airport infrastructure capacity becomes a bottleneck when there is a significant increase on the airport demand. Among the different elements that are part of airport infrastructure, runways for arrivals and departures can significantly represent the number of operations performed or even lead to delayed flights. In this sense, this paper aims to propose a methodology which assists airport managers on decision making related airport runway system, focusing on runway system capacity increase. Through a review of existing methods concerning airport runway capacity proposed on literature, the CONOPS methodology has been used as a systematic process of analysis. The results show the existing tools and a gap left in the literature, concluding with a proposed methodology which aims airport runway capacity increase by reducing congestion and delay.
