ATFM Brief

The document provides information on air traffic flow management (ATFM) including: - ATFM should be carried out in 3 phases: strategic planning, pretactical planning, and implementary planning. - Strategic planning is normally carried out 2 to 6 months ahead and involves examining demand and capacity imbalances. - Tactical ATFM measures like ground delays can be implemented when traffic demand exceeds airspace or airport capacity.
