Long Range Air Traffic Flow Management with Flight-Specific Flight Performance

The increasing need for dynamic in-flight adjustments of a trajectory allows the airport, air traffic control and airline high degree flexibility in terms execution. This concept enables numerous optimisation options to jointly meet requirements sustainable transport increase economic ecological efficiency, as well safety. One promising measure is aircraft arrival rate prevent over-demand approach sector around airport. In so-called Long-Range Air Traffic Management, time long-haul flights, particular, already controlled many hours before arrival. However, their effects on fuel burn are heavily dependent flight performance (hardly predictable) influence weather. this study, we optimize 26 flights Asia-Pacific region with at Changi Airport within peak hour considering medium-haul short-haul flights. done by speed choosing alternative routes. For first time, model each its individually real weather conditions. We found that should start three four arriving maximize fuel-saving potential small deviations from optimal cruising speed, predictability under Allowing additionally choose an lateral route, different filed plan, both maximizes harmonization number minimizes total burn. Unlike adjustments, routes changes effective even during last cruise phase.
