Abstract

Aircraft movements resulting from landing, take-off, and taxi operations are a determining factor for airport capacity. To enhance ground traffic management efficiency and gain a more precise understanding of factors influencing taxi times, it is imperative to obtain more accurate taxi time predictions. However, Exploring the extent to which aircraft arrivals and departures at an airport can disrupt taxi times and lead to practical consequences remains little explored. This paper utilizes real data from prominent Brazilian airports with substantial traffic to assess the impact of airport movements on taxi times, both for taxi-in and taxi-out. A regression analysis has been applied to evaluate significant variations across ten Brazilian airports during the peak months of July, August, and December 2022, when aircraft movements were at their highest. The results demonstrate alterations in taxi times at the airports under examination. For instance, at Porto Alegre Airport, each departing aircraft extends the ground taxi time by 1.10 minutes for other moving aircraft. Similarly, at Salvador Airport, each arriving aircraft can increase the taxi time for a taxiing aircraft by 0.25 minutes. In the case of taxi-out operations, every arriving aircraft increases the taxi time by 0.57 minutes at São Paulo - Congonhas Airport and at São Paulo - Guarulhos Airport, every departing aircraft increases the taxi time for another taxing aircraft by 0.32 minutes. Therefore, addressing the impact of air movement at airport can provide valuable insights and facilitate the development of strategies aimed at mitigating taxi times.
