Abstract :In this study, a detailed simulation model of airport operations was developed using the SimPy library to analyze passenger waiting times at security, check-in, and boarding points. QuickPassenger was evaluated to reflect realistic scenarios of different passenger profiles, such as tourists and those requiring special assistance (e.g. disabled, pregnant). The primary objective was to evaluate how resource management and passenger prioritization affected overall waiting times. Simulation results showed that optimizing resource allocation significantly reduced wait times, especially at security checkpoints, which are often the bottlenecks. This study provides valuable information to airport managers to increase operational efficiency and improve passenger experiences through strategic resource planning and prioritization.
