On Fairness in the Network Air Traffic Flow Management with Rerouting

This paper presents a fairness model for the network air traffic flow management with rerouting under deterministic capacity. In addition to ground delay and air delay, the model provides control on the aircraft speed through the control of the time spent in each sector, and the ability to reroute the aircraft to avoid or reduce delays. The model covers two aspects of fairness, which are delay distribution and flights reversal. The model outperforms existing works in terms of the number of delayed flights per time period as well as the total and maximum delay.
