Abstract :
In this paper a simulation language is developed, useful in ground handling operations at hub airports. Model blocks are made, for various operations, and then the SSLA is used to simulate airport operations dynamics. Under different scenarios, quantitative estimates for time operations are obtained, which help us in improving their efficient scheduling. We model the basic operations of aircrafts, combine them, and simulate the whole system. As an illustrative example, a simple model airport is selected. SSLA may be used for the prediction of time delays at various operations, as well as, for the evaluation of control strategies, for the improvement of the overall airport efficiency
