End-around taxiways (EAT) have been implemented at four major U.S. airports to increase the safety and throughput of parallel runway systems. This paper proposes two new runway and taxiway choices that become possible because of EATs. Instead of using the inboard runway to take off, the departing aircraft could use the outboard runway and use the EAT as the taxi-out path. A discrete-event stochastic simulation model simulates the operations of four different runway and taxiway choices. Two experiments compare the performance of the four choices on average taxi times, average fuel consumption per taxi, and number of runway crossings. In general, the results indicate that using the outboard runway to take off and the EAT as a taxi-out path would yield benefits in both taxi-in and taxi-out performance, as well as enhancing runway safety. Using the outboard runway to land and the EAT as a taxi-in path would yield benefit in taxi-out performance and runway safety at the expense of a longer taxi-in time. Concerns related to using the EAT as the taxi-out path, as well as potential future research topics, are discussed.
