ABSTRACT:
Nowadays, when de demand exceeds the capacity of a given sector (or airport) a ground delay programm is issued. Hence, a set of take-off slots are allocated to the affected aircraft. Based in future 4D trajectories, where a time constraint can be applied at each way-point, we propose a technique to (partially) absorb the imposed delay in the air, by flying slower than the initially planned cruize speed. We will present a cost assessment of this concept, considering fuel but also the cost of delays. This technique may be used strategically by the operators to minimize their operating costs
