The determination of runway length is critical for ensuring adequate airport size and stable operating conditions. This study aims to present a methodology for calculating the optimal length of the fifth runway at Incheon International Airport, considering the operating characteristics of the aircraft, airport conditions, and environmental factors. Domestic guidelines currently lack specificity in selecting design aircraft and applying aircraft weight standards, especially for large airports with multiple runways, posing a challenge for additional runway construction. This research conducts a case study on the length determination of Incheon International Airport's fifth runway, suggesting a procedure for large airports that takes into account various factors such as design aircraft selection, weight, and airfield characteristics. Our findings recommend an optimal runway length that accommodates all aircraft operating at the airport, ensuring efficient and economic expansion tailored to the future aviation landscape.
