... incorporated operations by seven commercial passenger airlines forecast to serve just fewer than 7 million annual enplaned passengers. Assumptions Airport A On average, originating passengers arrive at the airport 110 min prior to a departing flight scheduled before 9:00 A.M., and 115 min prior to a departing flight scheduled after 9:00 A.M.

... • POV passengers with no check bags park, then 20% use full-service check-in, while the other 80% obtain boarding passes at an SSD or proceed directly to the SSCP. The process evaluated in the simulation modeling included passengers parking their vehicles in available spaces, unloading their check bag(s)
