G = (CT)/U
Where, G = number of gates
C = design volume for arrivals or departures in aircrafts/hr
T = gate occupancy time in hours
U = gate utilisation factor
Due to the constraints in scheduling of airlines, all the gates can not be
utilised all the time. Therefore, a gate utlisation factor of 0.8 is
considered as the highest that can be achieved. Normally U varies
between 0.5 an 0.8
Example Problem
• Determine the number of gates required given the following aircraft mix
and average gate occupancy times:
