Abstract

In domestic airport planning, capacity assessment traditionally focuses on comparing demand forecasts with runway capacity to identify saturation periods, which overlooks operational characteristics. Even when demand does not exceed capacity, prolonged near-capacity utilization can cause significant operational issues. Therefore, it is crucial to consider operational characteristics in capacity assessments to ensure stable airport operations and efficient development planning. This study uses the Capacity Coverage Chart to analyze the operational characteristics of Incheon Airport and major international airports. Based on the analysis, it suggests improving airspace and air traffic control procedures and utilizing off-peak hours to enhance operational efficiency at Incheon Airport. However, due to geopolitical constraints, increasing operational capacity at Incheon Airport is challenging. Thus, continuous efforts to expand infrastructure are necessary to meet future demand and prevent facility saturation.
