Traffic entering AMS-FIR usually presents itself at the FIR-entry points according to their filed flight plan.
AMS-FIR has a relatively high density and complexity of traffic. Therefore, rerouting arriving aircraft inside this airspace to make an approach to a runway, other than the one most conveniently oriented with respect to their FIR-entry point, is considered undesirable. This research will provide insight into a proposed operational tool which could help LVNL improve its operation. This tool will be referred to as Tactical Demand Tailoring (TDT) in this report. It would allow LVNL to redirect the flights arriving to Schiphol tactically, after their departure, but before these aircraft enters AMS-FIR. This extends the influence LVNL has over Schiphol arrivals to outside of its area of operations.
