Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
Efficient airport operations are essential for reducing delays, fuel consumption, and emissions. One component of these operations is the taxi-in time, defined as the time between aircraft landing and arrival at the assigned gate. This duration can vary significantly due to runway configuration, traffic density, airport layout, aircraft characteristics, and operational procedures.

In this bachelor's thesis, you will develop a machine learning model to predict aircraft taxi-in and approach times at Barcelona-El Prat Airport using historical flight and airport operational data. You will analyse operational factors influencing taxi-in performance, touch-down times, and approach delays, and translate them into features usable by machine-learning algorithms.

The work combines knowledge of aviation operations with data-driven modelling, providing insight into how advanced analytics can support airport decision-making.
