A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…Although COVID-19 temporarily reduced delays due to decreased traffic, many large hubs have now returned to pre-pandemic levels, with strong growth expected in the coming years. Air traffic management divides the airspace into three sections: the airport control zone (taxiing, takeoff, landing), the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA, for climbs and descents), and the en-route airspace (cruise). …”
