Abstract
This thesis is limited to the presentation of the single-server waiting line systems with Poisson
arrivals and exponential service times. Waiting systems are stochastic mathematical models and
they represent the describing base of the waiting phenomena, service processes and appropriate
performance measures. The objective here is to describe the state of waiting line phenomena at
Bole international airport and then improve its performance measurements. The data collected
from Ethiopian civil aviation authority is then analyzed using mathematical models of queuing
theory to determine performance characteristics of the Airport under steady state. Finally,
solution results show that performance characteristics of Bole international Airport can be
improved by either increasing the service rate or by adding new servers (runways) so that more
aircrafts can be served simultaneously. Based on these results, recommendations are provided.
Key words: Waiting line Models;queuing theory; waiting system; waiting line; Utilization rate;
