Abstract

Advancing Air Traffic Management with the implementation of novel airspace structures, systems and procedures is crucial to enhancing the economic and environmental performance of aviation. This requires a solid understanding of operational performance through advanced data analysis. In this paper, large-scale historical aircraft tracking data and aeronautical information data are used to characterize the performance of terminal area operations at Sao Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (SBGR) after the most recent airspace redesign, known as TMA-SP Neo. A key aspect of the TMA-SP Neo project was redesigning the SBGR arrival procedures with a Point Merge system, an innovative operational concept for terminal area traffic management. We develop a trajectory classification approach to identify the use of arrival procedures and propose several performance indicators to evaluate the actual utilization of the terminal airspace structure with Point Merge and to quantify trajectory efficiency and conformance. The results revealed an uneven distribution of air traffic across arrival gates and types of procedures and a significant utilization of the novel Point Merge structure for delay absorption during the sequencing process. The findings also highlighted air traffic control preferences and opportunities for further improvements in delay management.
