Description
Abstract Central to turn around time for a plane (the time required to successfully land and then to take off) is passenger boarding time. Due to ever increasing plane sizes, effective procedures must be developed to minimize the time required for all passengers to board. Current boarding procedures include back-to-front, reverse pyramid, block style, outside-to-inside, and random. Among these, the most distinct seem to be back-to-front, outside-to-inside, and random procedures. The purpose of this report is to examine whether there is a significant difference on the mean boarding times of three different size planes using these three specific procedures.
