Abstract
Given diverse capacity relevant components of airports, it becomes evident that the term airport capacity often does not refer to the airport as a whole but most likely to one of the functional components. Therefore airport capacity could mean runway or runway system capacity, terminal capacity, apron/stand capacity, airspace capacity and surface access capacity. Airport capacity is often used to describe the capacity of the component with the lowest capacity of all airport components. In major airports, this is often the runway system. Regardless of the term airport or runway capacity, we have to first describe what we mean by capacity. The term capacity refers to the capability of a facility to handle people, freight, vehicles, etc. Capacity is often regarded as the maximum number of traffic units, that is vehicles, that can pass through a traffic facility within a given time span under specified conditions.
