Arrival time flight scheduling in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)

This project aimed to minimize the delay of air traffic flow, focusing in the stage of arrival and rescheduling the flight plan. In this study, three modelling for aircraft sequencing and rescheduling for landing was developed and compared. The methods used are First Come First Serve (FCFS), First Come First Serve combined Time-Advance (FCFS+TA), and Perturbation using White Noise Gaussian with Random Variable (Perturbation). The FCFS method was applied to the Malaysia scenario in order to do scheduling for arrival flight data as to be a support tool for air traffic control. Kuala Lumpur International Airport was chosen as the project location. An analysis was developed to observe the implementation of three methods on typical day of operations in year of 2015. The results was then evaluated with constraints of five (5) minutes time interval between the flights and the minutes to precede nor to delay for reschedule should not be more than 60 minutes. Finally, the FCFS+TA method revealed the optimization approach for utilizing the runway in KLIA in order to achieve 576 flights per day. Therefore, with using FCFS+TA method, 63% of utilization of both arrival runway in KLIA have been optimized
