Keywords: air traffic management, trajectory optimization, descent, sequencing

New guidelines for air traffic controllers are developed to help them sequence descending aircraft. These are based on descent path optimizations aiming minimum fuel burn and emissions. Numerical simulations for multiple aircraft of different type approaching the airport simultaneously are conducted and various delay options are considered.
