ABSTRACT

Airport is a key component of air transport system and important node of civil aviation transport production. In order to quantitatively assess the airport support capability, the latest research progress of support capability from academic and industry is reviewed. An airport support capability assessment procedure is presented and discussed. The airport support capability can be assessed by evaluating aircraft support capability and passenger service support capability. An airport support capability assessment method is proposed based on identified important influencing factors of aircraft support capability and passenger service support capability. A case study of an airport is given to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. The support capability assessment results can be used to find shortcomings of support capability, allocate resources reasonably and improve the operation efficiency of the airport.
