Lateral trajectory adjustments within moving sectors reduce air traffic complexity in Japanese airspace, supporting future flow-centric air traffic management. Metaheuristic waypoint optimization applied to high-density arrival flows to Tokyo yields 15–27% reductions in time-integrated complexity and up to 30% lower peak values.
