Runway Capacity
Definition of Runway Capacity
Runway capacity is the maximum number of aircraft movements (takeoffs and landings) a runway system can accommodate within a specific period under defined operational conditions.
It is influenced by factors such as runway configuration, aircraft mix, air traffic control procedures, and weather conditions.
A well-managed runway system is essential for accommodating future air traffic growth and maintaining safety standards.
CAST Aircraft Simulation enables airports to analyze and enhance runway utilization by identifying capacity constraints and optimizing operational strategies.
