Queueing models provide an efficient alternative to Monte Carlo simulations in the design of Next Generation air traffic systems. This paper models the effect of uncertainty in aircraft performance parameters, weather, and navigation sensor and control settings on the service times of a queueing model of the National Airspace System.
