(mentor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Programme Aerospace Engineering Date 2018-04-26 Abstract With this research the landside departure processes of four airports have been simulated using a discrete event simulation. By increasing today’s passenger numbers the bottlenecks of each of these airports are determined. An optimization to the used equipment has been performed in order to make the process more efficient. Furthermore, the created simulation models are tested against queueing theory in order to determine the benefits of the simulation model over the use of static queueing theory. Altogether the research shows that with the use of more efficient equipment and better utilization the airports can be ready for double passenger numbers without the need for expansion.
