The crew pairing problem is one of the most important but challenging tasks for commercial
airlines. However, the operation environment of the aviation industry is highly volatile with …

This paper proposes to enhance the current tromboning paradigm with a four dimensional
trajectory negotiation and synchronization process with the aim to maximise the number of …

In this paper, we present a novel methodology to manage arrival traffic in terminal airspace.
We define two areas around the airport, aiming to efficiently schedule incoming traffic. A four …

Intractable delays occur in air traffic due to the imbalance between ever-increasing air traffic
demand and limited airspace capacity. As air traffic is associated with complex air transport …

Air traffic flow management (ATFM) aims to facilitate the utilization of airspace and airport
resources and is critical in air transportation systems. During the past decades, several …

Accurately determining an aircraft's flight speed is crucial for optimizing airline performance,
as it directly impacts factors such as fuel consumption and emissions. Flying at speeds …

The field of aviation research is entering the era of big data. While data-driven
advancements in aviation have clearly brought about applicable models and results with …

Researchers have been attempting to reduce aircraft fuel consumption for decades to
minimize aviation's emissions to the atmosphere. This article presents an algorithm which …

Recently, there has been much interest in measuring the environmental impact of short-to-
medium-haul flights. Emissions of CO2 are usually measured to consider the environmental …

Abstract Ground Delay Programs (GDP) are sometimes cancelled before their initial planned
duration and for this reason aircraft are delayed when it is no longer needed. Recovering …
