This article presents a novel approach to incorporate the aircraft turnaround, which has
recently been identified as one of the major contributors to airline delay, into existing …

Most airlines have established integrated hub and operations control centers for the
monitoring and adjustment of tactical operations. However, decisions in such a control …

This article presents some of the results on the implementation of a decentralised delay
management process that we call 4D trajectory adjustments (4DTA) obtained with Mercury …

Airline operations are subject to a number of stochastic influences which result into variable
ground and block times for same flights on different days. Our research explores how airline …

This paper compares different optimization strategies for the minimization of flight and
passenger delays at two levels: pre-tactical, with on-ground delay at origin, and tactical, with …

In ATM systems, the massive number of interacting entities makes it difficult to identify critical
elements and paths of disturbance propagation, as well as to predict the system-wide effects …

This paper presents results from the SESAR ER3 Domino project. Three mechanisms are
assessed at the ECAC-wide level: 4D trajectory adjustments (a combination of actively …

Complex network theory, in conjunction with metrics able to detect causality relationships
from time series, has recently emerged as an effective and intuitive way of studying delay …

Airport access mode disruptions, such as a subway shutdown, threaten the whole
passenger door‐to‐door journey. When such a disruptive event occurs, knowledge of …

We provide a mathematical formulation of flight-specific delay cost functions that enables a
detailed tactical consideration of how a given flight delay will interact with all downstream …
