The rapid annualincrease in air traffic volume leads to serious capacity problems especially atmajor airports. Airport runway capacities are significantly limited by waketurbulence phenomena between arriving and departing aircraft pairs. RECAT, aninternational joint effort, aims to redefine wake turbulence categories andtheir associated minima to increase runway capacities. This study analyses theimpacts of possible RECAT implementation on arriving and departing flight sequencesfor independent parallel runway configurations with saturated demand. IstanbulNew Airport is modelled as a test case using Simmod Pro, a discrete-eventsimulation tool. A baseline and an alternative scenario has been created tocompare the current and RECAT separation minima. The implementation of RECATimproved the total throughput and reduced airborne delays for arriving flightswhile it increased departure queue delays and lengths. Further operationalstrategies are required to increase the benefits of RECAT for departing flightsequences.
