BASIC APPROACHES TO AIR TRAFFIC AND AIRPORT SLOTS ALLOCATION

Abstract

Purpose- The purpose of the study is to determine the basic approaches to air traffic and airport slots allocation. It has been admitted that demand on aviation has been doubled many times in the last years. This has necessitated creating new models and strategies to tackle the problems of congested airports/airspace.

Methodology- Literature review method was used. In this review article, some theoretical and practical studies to overcome this problem have been presented. In addition, new models and simulations have been analyzed.

Findings- Many problems have been made. Some researchers have applied analytical algorithms; In addition, others have used integer algorithms. However, while researching the literature, the airspace congestion studies are all about the airspace.

Conclusion- A review of the literature. The different methods, algorithms, approaches. In addition, the airport congestion was at. Moreover, it was a comprehensive comparison of all presented.
