We show first results in a free-flight scenario where the non-CO2 climate impact of individual trajectories is optimized using the trajectory optimizer pyTOM and conflicts are resolved afterwards using NDMap. These results indicate that an optimize-first - deconflict-later approach leads to conflict-free traffic scenarios while preserving a large portion of the climate impact mitigation potential.
