“…Furthermore, airports serve to provide necessary facilities for air traffic management services while closely coordinating with air navigation service providers on matters relating to operations and de-saturation of airports [29,30]. Due to the uncertainty associated with the occurrence of inclement weather, airport managers are faced with the challenge of sufficiently creating decisions, with limited information, that shall handle imbalances between resource capacity and air traffic demand [31].…”

“…Weather conditions are considered as a key driver to airport capacity as it influences the selection of runway configurations and its throughput performance [32]. While changes in the air traffic management services, specifically in en-route services, have relatively less impact on airports, corresponding charges may be incurred to the airport management itself as well as a detriment on the competitiveness of an airport [29]. During real-time conditions involving disturbances in weather, the airport management controls arrival rates into an alternative area away from the constrained one by adding spacing at airspace fixes with the aid of reactionary measures coordinated with air traffic controllers [32].…”

The air transportation domain faces issues in air traffic congestion which leads to delays affecting a network of flights. As stakeholders strive to address such issue by applying air traffic flow management (ATFM) actions, there exists an apparent divide in the solution objective and perspectives. In the extant literature, solution approaches involving ATFM actions are often framed from the perspective of only one stakeholder to another. Such a scheme does not comprehensively cover the overall goal of the stakeholders, thus, provides inadequate, even conflicting, solutions. Therefore, this paper proposes an integer linear programming model for a rerouting problem that satisfactorily incorporates the individual interests of stakeholders (i.e., airport management, airline sector, air traffic management) in the commercial aviation industry and the common goal of ensuring safety in flight operations. The proposed model is designed to tactically select an alternate route when the primary route is constrained due to uncertainties such as inclement weather in a post-departure scenario. A hypothetical case study involving multiple destinations and alternate routes is carried out to illustrate the validity of the model. A Demo version of Lingo software is used to run the proposed model. Notable computational results show significant differences of selected routes as individual system interests are taken into isolation compared to when the general, collaborative model is implemented. In other words, the proposed model is able to show that preferences in alternate routes do vary with the individual interests of stakeholders, more so with the integration of the collaborative decision among stakeholders. Therefore, this research work provides a groundwork to a more comprehensive take of managing air traffic scenario involving all phases of flights. This is realized by providing a proof that significant shifts of decision solutions occur when the overall goal of stakeholders is considered rather than taking their individual interests into isolation.
