By their very nature, airport aprons occupy the space between the runway system and the terminal buildings. Most attempts to increase runway capacity, by the use of parallel taxiways or larger aircraft, reduce the available apron space. Similarly, the growth of piers and satellites to provide extra gates also restricts the apron. The situation is worsened further when more space is required for passenger processing, due to the rate of increase of processing efficiency not keeping pace with traffic growth, yet there is no room for landsite expansion. Discussed is the influence of aircraft technology on apron capacity.
