Abstract
Congestion and delay at the airport are used in measuring the performance indicator (PI) of an airport. One key determinant of the expected activities at a given aerodrome is the airfield component and characteristic in which the runway is of great significant. According to ICAO Annex 14 which addresses Aerodrome, runway is defined as rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and take-off of aircraft. This research looked at the current status of runways at Murtala Muhammed airport and the role the runway plays in ensuring flight efficiency and reduction in flight delay. The instruments of data collection include; the current aerodrome chart collected from the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) which helped understand the various airfield component and their characteristic in the understudied aerodrome, interview were made to cover pilot and air traffic controller as the key players in flight efficiency and delay, and observations of flight activities at Murtala Muhammed airport, especially as it concern aircraft arrival and landing were made by the researcher. Based on the current layout of the Murtala Muhammed airfield and its strategic location in Lagos state, Nigeria, research question was built to consider the need to create addition runway to help facilitate flight efficiency and reduction of flight delay. This question was presented in form of a hypothetical statement and was tested. With emphasis on arrival delay which includes approach and landing of an aircraft at the understudied aerodrome, the hypotheses stipulateddefinedthe quantity of time for an aircraft to land and exit the runway which determine the runway occupancy time in other to expedite landing for other arriving aircraft. This research therefore quantified the expected delay at Murtala Muhammed airport and proffer solution to how best it can be managed. The Hypothesis were tested and the correlation between the numbers of runway presently available at Murtala Muhammed was made against the recorded delay as determined in this research.
