Abstract

The aircraft delay rate has increased nearly three times in 2023 due to change in Korea policy of delay criteria. One of the primary causes of delays in domestic flights is related to reactionary delays, with Turnaround Time being a key factor. To mitigate reactionary delays and reduce aircraft delays, it is essential to establish an appropriate Turnaround Time and integrate it into flight schedules. This study aims to analyze the appropriate Turnaround Time for aircraft operating at Gimpo, Gimhae, and Jeju International Airports, which handle a high frequency of domestic flights. The research applies air traffic simulation, using variables such as current flight schedules, actual flight times, Turnaround Time, and flight routes to simulate actual conditions. Based on this analysis, the study seeks to identify the fitting Turnaround Time across various scenarios. The findings are expected to address reactionary delays and help reduce overall delay rates in domestic flights.
