Abstract
The efficiency of a transportation system is generally measured in terms of its ability to efficiently process the unit and the displaced element. The performance of any system depends on the performance of its components, and an evaluation of each of these components is necessary to determine the overall capabilities of the system. The evaluation of the components of a system is measured by determining and examining its capacity. The runway and apron are important components of the airport system, the exact capacity of which is important and significant. In this article, the runway and apron capacity of Imam Khomeini Airport in 1397 (base year) has been calculated and evaluated and evaluated for the project year (opening of the second runway terminal and terminal No. 2 of the airport) for two scenarios with and without night stop. The results show that the runway capacity is only for the landing operation of 34 aircraft per hour, only the take-off operation of 41 aircraft per hour and for the combined operation of 56 aircraft per hour. The capacity of the apron is 62 places in the base year with the night stop scenario and 28 places for the non-stop night scenario, which are 81 places for the horizon year and 57 places for the night and no night scenarios, respectively.
