Keywords: delay, airport planning, airport operations, chaos, airport state

The paper introduces the idea how to apply methodologies of non linear physics to data of airport processes to investigate the state of airports and characteristic points of bifurcation depending on the boundary conditions of airports to predict aircraft off block delays for airport management purposes.
