Abstract

Airports featuring multiple runways have the capability to operate in diverse runway configurations, each with its unique setup. Presently, Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) heavily rely on their operational experience and predefined procedures (†playbooks†) to plan the utilization of runway configurations. These ’playbooks’ however lack the capacity to comprehensively address the intricacies of a dynamic runway system under increasing weather uncertainties.
