Flexible Runway Scheduling for Complex Runway Systems: A Multi-Objective Optimization for Fuel Use and Noise Disturbance at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

The runway usage of complex airports with multiple runways is currently prescribed by a preference list. The preference list mostly focuses on minimizing noise and it provides a more manageable flow for ATC. However, it does not consider the fuel burn or current demand of flights. This study presents a MILP scheduling model which optimizes for...

Tailored SID & Profile Allocation for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Currently, only one Standard Instrument Departure (SID) track and one flight procedure is used per runway departure fix combination. In contrast to tailored arrivals, the potential benefit of tailored departures has been left relatively undiscovered. The research objective is to quantify the potential benefit of tailored SID-s and profile...

Flexible Arrival & Departure Runway Allocation Using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming: A Schiphol Airport Case Study

Runway capacity of a complex runways system can be limited by several factors. Currently, the runway usage at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) is described by a preference list established by multiple stakeholders. It makes an important trade-off between minimizing noise exposure to the environment and maximizing capacity. The existing model...
