This study simulates every 4934-aircraft flying across FIR in Japan by using a cellular automaton-based model. Interestingly, spacing adjustments of arrival flights to hub-airports account for only 40% of the total amount. This indicates that identifying flight delay bottleneck not only on the airways to hub airports but also on other routes is also paramount for totally efficient ATM operation.
