Análise da capacidade do terminal de passageiros do aeroporto Internacional Pinto Martins em função de modificações na geometria da pista de pouso e decolagem

Abstract

It is known that Brazil has some deficient structure when it comes to airport infrastructure. The most significant improvements were made at the time of INRAERO's creation and also in the late 1990’s. There has been a significant increase in the demand for air transport services in the last 10 years. In 2015 alone, 117 million passengers boarded and disembarked at Brazilian airports. Fortaleza also followed this national scenario of increased demand. Based on these points, this work aims to analyze the changes in the geometric configuration of fast outputs proposed by Melo (2014), as well as, predict the demand of more aircrafts and its influence in the processing of passengers to the capacity of the current terminal and to a future horizon based on the concession's Airport Exploration Plan. An analysis of the Fortaleza International Airport aircraft mix was made using historical data and statistical methods. After that, it was identified which scenarios, among those proposed by Melo (2014), could be used in order to meet expected demand. The analysis was made according to criteria of capacity declared by the Public Authorities, namely: peak-hour passenger processing capacity and maximum number of aircraft movements. An aircraft utilization profile was obtained for the Fortaleza International Airport, as well as a forecast of passenger demand. The results indicate that the auctioned concessionaire must provide changes to the TPS infrastructure, aiming to increase the capacity of passenger processing, since in the present situation this terminal does not meet the current demand and therefore will not meet the demands to come.
