Airside Congestion Management

The Definition of Airside Congestion Management

Airside congestion management refers to strategies for preventing bottlenecks and delays in areas such as taxiways, runways, and aprons. It involves optimizing aircraft sequencing, reducing ground delays, and ensuring efficient use of airport infrastructure.

 

Effective congestion management enhances on-time performance and reduces fuel consumption. CAST Aircraft Simulation enables the analysis and mitigation of airside congestion, improving overall airport operations.
