Abstract: To enable the efficient operation of an airfield and the efficiency of timetable management it is necessary to develop a model that can measure and check the current timetable whether they meet the airfield operation performance. This study develops an optimisation mathematic planning model to formulate objective function of the taxi fuel cost and arrangement of arrival/departure time points for flights timetable within one peak hour. Results show the average taxiing cost and taxiing time for per flight will be 351.25 US dollars and 8.7-19.15 minutes. If pilots control the speed at 15-35 kilometre/hour, the total minimum taxiing time of 20 flights can be decreased to 161-186 minutes. If the pilots use runway 5L to take off/land, it can save 1,299 US dollars in one hour. The interval length of time points at timetable is suggested to be five minutes for easy management and control.
