Abstract: A rapid increase of air traffic is anticipated by the main airports in Japan. The existing airport facilities of the main airports in Japan are already thought to be insufficient, and it is earnestly requested that these facilities will be reinforced as urgently as possible. It is vital that we determine the ultimate runway capacity to make a plan more accurately for long range development of adequate airport facilities on a schedule which will meet the projected increase in air traffic. Mathematical models have been developed that can be used in forecasting the operating rates of runways with associated delays. These models have been devised covering delays under preemptive priority type operations. The optimum runway design is that which will manage to keep the balance between operating cost and total annual costs of runway. The optimum design then is determined by the economic analysis of the factors that affect runway operations. Economic analysis have been developed that could be used in determining the break-even volume for the improvement of runways.
