Summary:The capacity and throughput of the airport infrastructure represent the important parameters, used for operation planning, infrastructural changes, safety analysis, etc. A limitation of throughput can significantly influence the overall airport performance. For these reasons, having a precise information or prediction of the infrastructure usage is important input for planning or designing. This paper brings the analysis of the impact of a crucial taxiway infrastructure limitation, such as closed part of the infrastructure, at Prague Airport. For this purpose, the taxiway operations model was developed. In order to evaluate the changes in aircraft routing and surfaces usage, a realistic scenario with the closed taxiway segments was defined. The impact was evaluated in terms of recorded delays of arriving and departing aircraft, generated on the taxiway system; delays of the aircraft dispatched to different stand due to closure; and queuing of the aircraft at the taxiway segments due to limited throughput.
