The paper presents a simulation model of an Italian airport terminal, the International Airport of Lamezia Terme in Calabria (Italy). The software tool adopted for the simulation model implementation is Anylogic? by XJ Technologies. After the modeling phase, the simulation model has been validated comparing simulation results with real system results. The performance measure chosen for testing system behavior under different operative scenarios is a mean utilization index of the terminal. The output data of the simulation model are then analyzed by means of ANOVA in order to understand how some critical input parameters (number of security check lines, of passport controls and check-ins) affect system performance.
