    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    1. Introduction

    The Airport systems not only in the U.S. but also all over the world are now very

    complex. However, all of them are not always designed optimally. Some facilities are

    built excessively compared to their estimation during planning phases, others are required

    improvement since they are too large for the actual situations. [1] For example, the size of

    the New Denver Airport is too big, and as a matter of fact there is an unnecessary passenger

    building. The Newark airport is unsuited for the actual transfer and international traffic,

    and major changes should be required. The reason for them is that the master plan of these

    airport systems did not anticipate future risks and uncertainties of possible changes in market

    conditions, and did not consider the countermeasure of those real risks. Eventually, it leads

    to losses or extra costs, and even losses of opportunities happen. Thus, the master plan is

    often inflexible and inherently cannot respond to the risks. In order to respond to this

    situation, it is essential to plan strategically by considering future risks and uncertainties and

    by applying flexibility into design.

    This project is to consider one of the possible effective ways to incorporate flexibility

    into design by using real options analysis. The goal of this project is to demonstrate how

    the flexible design is conducted and how it works. The case of Tokyo International

    Airport New Runway Extension Project is applied as a case study.

    2. Outline of the Case Project

    2.1 Tokyo International Airport

    Tokyo International Airport or Haneda Airport (HND) is located in the bay area, near

    the center of Tokyo. Haneda Airport is the busiest and an important hub airport in Japan

    for domestic air traffic.[2] Haneda Airport is consistently ranked among the world's busiest

    passenger airports in terms of the number of passengers, and its ranking was fourth in 2006.

    Currently it has three runways (Runway A: 3,500m, Runway B: 2,500m, Runway C:

    3,000m), serving nearly 60 million passengers every year. The total capacity of Haneda

    Airport is 296,000 aircraft (a/c) per year.

    However, its capacity has already reached a limit of airport capacity against the

    increasing demand, and it is necessary to respond to the demand as soon as possible. In

    order to solve this problem, Tokyo International Airport Extension Projectwas launched in

    2002 to build 4th

    runway, which is calledRunway D, to increase the total capacity of the

    airport. [2] This extension enables the airport to have the capacity from of 296,000 a/c per

    year to 407,000 a/c per year.

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    The new runway will be constructed on the artificial island approximately 3,000 meters

    long and 500 meters wide, on the south side of the airport. As the new runway island is

    planned in the estuarine waters of the Tama River, the course of the river shall not be

    affected by reclaimed island. Therefore, pile elevated platform is applied for the part in the

    river mouth, and reclamation is applied for the part outside the alignments of the river mouth.

    Two taxiway bridges for aircraft connecting the existing airport to the new runway island,

    600 meters long and 60 meters wide, are planned as well. Pile elevated platform of the new

    runway island is 1,100 meters long and 500 meters wide in total. It is a jacket structure

    composed of approx. 200 steel jacket units 60 meters long and 45 meters wide. The water

    depth at the construction site is 15 to 19 meters, and the river has 30 to 40 meters thick

    sedimentary layers of soft clayey soil. Thus, long steel pipe piles are used as bearing piles

    for the pile elevated platform.

    By the end of the fiscal year of 2006, the design has been completed, the construction

    started in March 2007, and it is supposed to be in service in December 2010.

    2.3 Current Design is Optimal?

    As discussed above, the new runway is expected not only to improve the airport

    capacity but also to bring about a major impact on the overall economy. However, is this

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    new project really optimal? Can the design of this project respond to the future

    uncertainty?

    The current design of Runway D consists of the Runway (R/W) and the Parallel

    Taxiway (PT/W). At the Runway D, airplanes depart from south to north and land from

    north to south, and the projected capacity is based on this operation. A parallel taxiway is

    usually necessary for a runway since airplanes have to move to a runway in order to take off

    and to go to terminal after landing. But at this Runway D, a parallel taxiway will be used

    only when those airplanes which are running for takeoff stop and return to the terminal.

    This possibility is very low. Because there is turning pad at the end of the runway, it is

    possible that those airplanes which are running for takeoff return to the terminal by using

    this area. Therefore, the operation frequency of the PT/W is extremely low. In addition,

    the area at the south edge of the runway (S/E), is also not used since airplanes do not depart

    and land this way. Therefore, PT/W & S/E are not necessary for the currently planned

    operation, and it can be said that this runway island is not designed optimally. This project

    was based on taxpayers money (570 billion) and it is excessively invested, so it is

    indispensable to evaluate if the PT/W and S/E is worthwhile investing or not.

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    These areas such as PT/W and S/E would be used if airplanes depart from north to south

    and land from south to north. Thus, if they need this operation in the future, they should be

    constructed, otherwise they should not be constructed.

    2.4 Projected Capacity of Airport

    So when are such departure and landing necessary? In the current plan, when north

    wind blows, runway B and D are used for departure and runway A and C are used for

    landing. When the south wind blows, runway A and C are used for departure and runway

    B and D are used for landing. In this planning, during south wind, only 12 a/c land at the

    runway D per hour, while during north wind 28 a/c depart from the runway D per hour.

    This is because runway usages are decided so that the entire capacity of the airport could bemaximized. However, at the runway D, if airplanes depart from N to S and land from S to

    N, it is possible for the entire capacity of the airport to be increased.

    2.5 Flexible Design

    As a matter of fact, estimating this capacity is very complicated because all of four

  • 7/29/2019 Caso Aeropuerto Pronostico

    8/24

    12/14/2007

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    runways capacities are related complexly to one another. So, in this project, estimating

    this capacity is outside of the scope of the goal. I assume that the opposite departure (from

    north to south) and landing (from south to north) could increase the total capacity of the

    airport. In other words, PT/W and S/E could increase the capacity. If the demand is more

    than the capacity, PT/W and S/E should be constructed. If the demand is less than the

    capacity, its not necessary to construct them. Therefore, PT/W and R/E should be

    constructed when they become necessary. In other words, they dont have to be

    constructed until the demand of passengers exceeds the projected capacity. If such

    flexibility is incorporated into design, managers are able to respond to future risks and

    uncertainties such as demand of passengers. Therefore, flexible design can minimize the

    initial investment, reduce risks, respond to uncertainties, and maximize the value of the

    project. By doing so, this runway extension project would be optimized.

    3. Real Options Analysis

    In order to evaluate those projects, one of the best possible ways is real options analysis,

    which is an evaluation method for those projects which involve decision opportunities.

    Real options analysis is the application of financial options theory to the actual projects such

    as infrastructure developments, real asset investments, research and development, and so on.

    In these projects, those who make decision generally have options such as the option to defer,

    the option to defer, and the option to abandon. In this case study, the option to expand

    should be applied.

    3.1 Financial Options Theory

    Financial options theory is a basis for the real options analysis. In finance, an option

    contract is an agreement where the owner has the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell

    an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a pre-determined price on or before the expiration

    date. [3]

    There are two types of options in terms of the right. A call option refers to the right to

    buy a stock at the strike price, the pre-determined price. A put option refers to the right to

    sell a stock at the strike price. [3] Options are also divided into two categories in terms of

    Term Project: Flexible Design of Airport System Page 6 of 22

  • 7/29/2019 Caso Aeropuerto Pronostico

    9/24

    12/14/2007

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    expiration date. An American option is exercised when the owners are allowed to exercise

    them on or before the expiration date. A European option is exercised only on the

    expiration date. [3]

    Option is not the obligation but the right to buy or sell the underlying asset. So the

    owner would exercise the option only when it is favorable to do so. [3] For example, those

    who hold option would exercise a call option only if the price of the underlying asset (S), is

    higher than the strike price (K), and would earn a profit of S-K; otherwise, they would buy

    the asset not from the option, but from the market. A European put option is the right to

    sell the underlying asset at a certain price. So it can be exercised only when the market

    price of the asset (S) is less than the strike price (K), where those who hold the option can

    make the profit of K-S. Figure 3-1 shows the general payoff of a European call option and

    put option. Although American options can be exercised at any time on or before the

    expiration date, they have the same payoffs as European options.

    3.1.1 Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model

    The Black-Scholes option pricing model is the most well-known method. It applies to

    those European call and put options that do not provide dividends. It can produce the

    theoretical value of the option by applying five factors such as the price of the underlying

    asset (S), the strike price (K), the time until expiration (T), the risk-free rate of interest (rf),

    and the volatility (i.e., standard deviation) of returns on the stock. [3] The following

    formula shows this model for a European call option. [3]

    3.1.2 Binomial Lattice Model

    Binomial Lattice Model, which is also widely used, is a more simplified discrete-time

    approach to valuation of options compared to the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. [4]

    It assumes that the price of the underlying asset will change to one of the only two possible

    values during the next period of time. Figure 3-2 shows a three-stage binomial example.

    Figure 3-2 Binomial Tree Representations of Changes in Underlying AssetSource: R de Neufville Lecture notes of the MIT course of ESD.71[4]

    In the Binomial Lattice Model, the price of an underlying asset at a certain time can

    change to one of the only two possibilities, which are an upward movement with multiplieru

    with the probability ofp, and a downward movement with multiplierdwith the probability

    of1-q. [4]

    3.1.3 Monte Calro Simulation

    Monte Calro Simulation is an analytical method that generates the stochastic

    distribution of possible outcome that correspond to probability-distributed sampled inputs.

    [5] Because of the development of computer technology, large computer simulation such

    as Monte Calro Simulation can be constructed easily. Spread sheet software such as

    Microsoft Excel is the tool for conducting Monte Calro Simulation.

    3.2 Real Options Analysis

    In the previous section, financial options theory including Black-Scholes option pricing

    model, Binomial Lattice Model, and Monte Calro Simulation were introduced. In this

    section, real options analysis, which was the application of financial options theory to the

    actual projects, is introduced.

    3.2.1 Real Options

    Real option is the option to undertake some business decision under high uncertainty.

    In real options analysis, they are associated with flexibilities in designing systems or the

    evolution of projects. [4] Option - like flexibilities are included in systems and projects,

    represent opportunities to increase the value of the project through design or through

    management actions. [4] It is not obligation, and only when future asset price is preferable

    for you, you can exercise it, otherwise you dont have to do it. This allows

    decision-makers to avoid downside losses as well as to obtain upside opportunities. These

    flexibilities are called real options. [4] Managers have applied real options analysis to

    business strategies including large-scale engineering systems. Although real options are

    very similar to financial options, they are different from financial options in terms of what

    should be assessed and the time span. [4] In financial options, the actual price such as

    Term Project: Flexible Design of Airport System Page 9 of 22

  • 7/29/2019 Caso Aeropuerto Pronostico

    12/24

    12/14/2007

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    stock price is evaluated, while in real options, the value of the project itself is evaluated.

    Financial options are usually very short span such as two years, while the time span of real

    options is very long-term.

    3.2.2 Types of Real Options

    There are several types of real options, such as deferral options, abandonment options,

    expansion options, growth options, and compound options. [6] Applying appropriate type

    of options enables managers to actively manage risks and uncertainties. For example, in

    this case study, expansion options is appropriate to be applied. In the current design, which

    is inflexible design, the whole facilities such as a runway, a parallel taxiway, and a south

    edge would be constructed at the initial construction. On the other hand, in flexible design

    that should be proposed in this study, only a runway would be constructed at the initial

    construction and then sometime after 10 years of operation, if the demand of passengers

    exceeds the capacity, a parallel taxiway and a south edge should be constructed; otherwise

    they would not be constructed. Thus, if uncertain demand is unfavorable, it is not

    necessary to exercise the option. It is possible to reduce upfront capital investment and

    therefore reduce losses. The Flexibility to expand them takes advantage of demand that is

    higher than expected in the deterministic projections.

    13/24

    12/14/2007

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    As introduced in section 3.1, there are three types of evaluation method in financial

    options, and these are also applied to real options analysis. Black-Scholes option pricing

    model and Binomial Lattice Model are widely used in financial options, but because they are

    very complex and needs financial skills, they are not so widely used in real options in

    engineering practice as in financial field. [7] Even if those methods are used appropriately,

    it is very difficult to explain to those managers who are not familiar with financial skills. [7]

    On the other hand, Monte Calro Simulation can be used more easily by using spread sheet

    than those two methods. Compared to conventional methods using financial mathematics,

    real options analysis using Monte Calro Simulation has advantages such as user friendly

    procedure, being based on data availability in practice, and being easy to explain graphically.

    [7] Thus real options analysis based on Monte Calro Simulation can be the appropriate as a

    tool for the valuation method for this case study.

    3.3.2 Real Options Analysis Using Monte Calro Simulation

    In this case study, real options analysis using Monte Calro Simulation method is used

    and its procedure is: 1) to estimate cash flows pro forma including capital investment, future

    costs and revenues of the project, and calculate the economic value of currently designed

    case, 2) to explore the effects of uncertainty by simulating possible scenarios, each of which

    leads to a various NPVs, and the collection of each scenario generate both an expected net

    present value (ENPV) and the distribution of possible outcomes for a project by

    demonstrating cumulative distribution functions, and 3) to explore ways to avoid the

    downside risk and take advantage of upside potential by exercising options. [7]

    4. Analysis of Case - Tokyo Intl Airport New Runway Extension Project

    4.1 Analysis Condition

    In order to conduct real options analysis, it is necessary to set up analysis conditions

    such as cash flow pro forma including capital investment, revenue scheme, operating and

    maintenance costs.

    In this case study, three types of design should be considered. Case A refers to the

    Term Project: Flexible Design of Airport System Page 11 of 22

  • 7/29/2019 Caso Aeropuerto Pronostico

    14/24

    12/14/2007

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    current design that government actually planned and that would construct the whole runway

    island, including a parallel taxiway and a south edge. This design does not include

    flexibility.

    Case B refers to the design that constructs the whole runway island in the same way as

    Case A. But this design recognizes future uncertainty which is demand of passengers,

    while Case A considers deterministic projection of the demand of passengers.

    Case C refers to the design that constructs only runway area without parallel taxiway

    and south edge of the runway at the initial construction, and expands the parallel taxiway

    and south edge after 10 years operation if the demand exceeds the capacity of the airport for

    two consecutive years.

    4.1.1 Capital Investment

    Capital investment here means the initial construction fee and the expansion fee of the

    parallel taxiway and the south edge. In the New Runway Extension Project, the

    construction fee is 570 billion, [2] so the initial investment in Case A and Case B is 570

    billion. In Case C, I assume that the initial investment can be set by prorating the area

    where it needs. In the area of the taxiway (827,625m2), the structure of the runway island

    is landfill (64,700/m2), [2] so the construction fee is 53.55 billion. In the area of the

    south edge (45,120m2), the structure of the runway island is piled pier (786,500/m

    2), [2] so

    the construction fee is 35.48 billion. Therefore, considering the bank revetment area

    (assumed 5% extra) and the joint area for the both areas so that the expansion could be

    possible, the initial construction fee of Case C is 505 billion. ([570-(53.55+35.48)]*1.05)

    The expansion cost of Case C is only the area of taxiway and the south edge, which is the

    same as the difference between the initial cost of Case A, B and that of Case C.

    Considering the extra fee of the joint area (assumed 10% extra), the expansion fee is 97.9

    billion. ((53.55+35.48)*1.05) The initial investment is assumed to be paid equally every

    year through the construction for 4 years, while the expansion investment is supposed to be

    paid equally every year for 2 years.

    4.1.2 Revenues and Costs

    There are several types of revenues and costs in the airport system such as from

    aeronautical charges, non-aeronautical charges, and off-airport or non-operate charges. [8]

    In the current operation of Tokyo Intl Airport, these charges applies, but in terms of a

    runway, aeronautical charges, which is the charges for services or facilities directly related tothe processing of aircraft and their passengers, is the main charge. [8] The aeronautical

    charges have several categories such as landing charge, terminal-area air navigation charge,

    passenger service charge in terminals, security charge, charges for airport noise, and so on.

    [8] In terms of a runway, landing charge is the main source of the revenue. Thus, I

    assume that the revenue is only from the landing charge. The current landing charge in

    Tokyo Intl Airport as of 2006 is 490,000 for B747-400D, 350,000 for B777-200, and

    230,000 for B777-724, and so on. [9] I set the average landing fee of this airport as

    332,000 / aircraft by assuming the probabilities for each type of aircraft of 23% for

    B747-400D, 35% for B777-200D, and 41% for B767-300. I also assume that this landing

    charge is fixed for the next 20 years. For the simplicity, I also set the revenue for each year

    is landing charge multiplied by the minimum of the number of passenger or the capacity.

    Costs for the operation and maintenance are categorized into the ones above. From the

    past disclosed information by the government, operating and maintenance cost in all airports

    in Japan in 2005 was 147.4 billion. [10] I assume that these costs depend on the scale of

    air traffic. The whole air traffic in Japan in 2005 was 1,431,000 and 300,000 in Tokyo Intl

    Airport, which is about 20% of the whole traffic, so the operating and maintenance costs for

    Tokyo Intl Airport in each year is assumed 29.48 billion, which is also assumed equally for

    the current three runways. So the operating cost and maintenance costs for the one runway

    is one-third of 29.48, which is equal to 9.84 billion. In addition, in the current

    construction plan indicates that the specific maintenance cost for the runway D is 100

    billion for the next 30 years. Thus the maintenance cost of 3.33 billion should also be

    included in the operating and maintenance cost for the new runway. Therefore, the

    operating and maintenance costs for the runway D are set as 13.17 billion.

    4.1.3 Capacity of Airport

    According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in Japan, the improved

    maximum capacity of the airport by the runway extension in Tokyo Intl Airport is 40

    aircrafts per hour, and it estimated this capacity can accommodate 87 million passengers per

    year. [2] So the capacity in terms of the number of passenger in this airport is 87 million.

    4.1.4 Discount Rate

    Discount rate is the opportunity cost of capital, and it can be calculated by the capital

    asset pricing model (CAPM). CAPM requires the risk-free rate of interest, the sensitivity

    of specific project or company to stock price, and the expected rate of return of the market.

    However, the government used the discount rate of 4% when it assessed not only this project

    but also any airport related project. [11] Thus, the discount rate of 4% is also used in this

    case study.

    4.2 Uncertainty in System

    There are usually a lot of uncertainties in large-scale engineering systems which include

    technical change, economic change, regulatory change, industrial change, political change,

    and so on. [4] This case also includes a lot of uncertainties such as demand of the number

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    of passengers, capital investment in the future, the operating and maintenance costs, and

    unexpected events in the future. For the sake of the simplicity, I set only demand of the

    number of passengers as uncertainty. When forecasting the number of passenger in airports,

    the time span should be considered at most 20 years span and the volatility, which is the

    range of the chance the demand is higher or lower, should be considered by plus or minus

    50%. [12]

    4.3 Demand Forecasting

    According to the government estimation, it forecasted the demand of the number of

    passengers as 73.2 million in 2012, 80.3 million in 2017, and 85.5 million in 2022. [2]

    This estimation was based on the estimate of the total population in Japan, the estimate

    of GDP and other several factors. [13] However, forecast is always wrong. The table

    below is comparison of 10 years forecasts of international passenger to Japan with actual

    results. [12] These results clearly show that forecast has been always wrong. In addition

    the forecast of the total population in Japan and GDP are also very difficult to assess. Thus,

    the demand forecast above could be wrong.

    However, when assessing the real options analysis, it is necessary to rely on some

    forecasts, although they are nothing but estimation. Thus, in this case study, the demand

    curve that is based on the estimation of the total population and the estimation of GDP in

    Japan should be considered. The important thing is to recognize that this forecast is just an

    assumption and to evaluate this by using various demand scenarios with volatility.

    In this case study, the demand forecast is estimated based on the estimation of

    population [14] and the estimation of GDP [15] in Japan by conducting regression analysis.

    The demand curve shown in Figure 4-3 is still deterministic projection, and this is

    usually used for the static analysis. However, it is essential to recognize and consider the

    uncertainty in this demand forecasting. Thus, uncertainty is recognized in the model by

    simulating possible scenarios. It indicates how fluctuations can be incorporated around

    deterministic projections based on the relevant probability distribution. [17] In this case

    study, 2,000 Monte Calro Simulations are generated where all of those simulations create

    each demand scenarios over the 20 years span. Figure 4-4 shows some of the examples of

    simulations of the uncertain demand. All of these scenarios can be considered and

    incorporated into the calculation of the expected value of the plans statistically.

    4.5 Result of Analysis

    Table 4-4, 4-5, 4-6 shows the cash flow pro forma for three cases. Table 4-4 shows the

    cash flow pro forma and calculating the NPV of the project assuming the demand of thenumber of passengers grows as projected. (Case A) In this case, the expected NPV

    (ENPV) of the project is 678.8 billion. However, this value is not realistic since the actual

    demand of the number of passengers can change from this deterministic value.

    Table 4-5 shows the cash flow pro forma and calculating the NPV of the project

    recognizing uncertainty. (Case B) In this case, Monte Calro Simulation is conducted and it

    produces 2,000 possible demand scenarios. The ENPV of this case is 638.3 billion. But

    this ENPV is just one of the 2,000 scenarios. This simulation can generate 2,000 ENPV in

    each scenario, and can also generate distribution for each scenario. The actual ENPV is

    distributed as shown in Figure 4-5. The average of ENPV is 569.3 billion, which is less

    than that of the Case A. Although this design assumes that there are equal chances that

    demand changes to higher and to lower, this design limits the higher value of the project

    since the capacity is fixed, while there are still lower chances to generate losses. [7]

    Table 4-6 shows the cash flow pro forma and calculating the NPV of the project

    recognizing uncertainty and holding the option to expand. (Case C) This case also

    recognizes uncertainty and Monte Calro Simulation is conducted, which produces the ENPV

    of 686.7 billion. But this ENPV is also just one of the 2,000 scenarios. In this design,

    the actual ENPV is distributed as shown in Figure 4-5, and the average of ENPV is 621.6

    billion, which is higher than that of Case B. Because the option to expand is exercised

    when the demand is higher than the current capacity, the ENPV is improved higher. The

    1.231 Planning and Design of Airport System Dai Ohama

    estimated value of the option exercised in order to incorporate the flexibility into design can

    be calculated by the difference between the ENPV of Case C and that of Case B, which is

    52.3 billion. Table 4-7 shows the summary of this analysis. Case C, which holds

    flexibility in design has advantages over Case B in every aspect. Table 4-6 shows the

    summary of the analysis. [7] The initial investment in Case C is less than that of Case B,

    which means that the flexibility can reduce the initial investment. The ENPV, the

    maximum and minimum NPV in Case C is higher than that of Case B, so the flexibility can

    enhance the overall value of the project.

    5. Conclusion

    There are a lot of facilities that are not designed optimally in airport systems. The

    master plan of those designs does not anticipate and consider future risks and uncertainties.

    Thus, inflexible design cannot manage risks and uncertainties, and it leads to losses. In

    order to solve this problem, it is essential to incorporate flexibility into design. As

    demonstrated in the case study in this paper, the real option analysis is the useful way to

    recognize uncertainty and incorporate flexibility into design. The case study demonstrated

    that flexibility can enhance the expected value of the project, and reduce the possible losses

    by using the option to expand. Also it can demonstrate that flexibility can keep the initial

    cost lower than that of the current design. Therefore, at the initial construction phase, only

    runway should be constructed and if the demand of the number of passenger exceeds the

    capacity after 10 years operation, a parallel taxiway and a south edge should be constructed.

    Furthermore, real options analysis using Monte Calro Simulation is very useful in that it just

    focuses on the ENPV of options and it does not require any financial skills unlike typical

    financial options approaches such as Black-Sholes option pricing model and binomial lattice

    model. Thus, those who are in charge of design can relatively easily use this method.

    Flexible design thus enables projects to be optimized and reduce excessiveness and losses in

    airport systems.
