This study examines how planned trajectory complexity in an ASEAN en-route airspace may be reduced using tactical time control alone. Networks of fluid queues are applied at hotspots as well as departures, and the effectiveness is measured in a Fast-Time Simulation experiment. Its findings are anticipated to facilitate evaluation of Flow-Centric Operations, a novel Air Traffic Control paradigm.
