The focus of research is to examine how both systems, air traffic and airports, evolve with time under certain conditions and how a desired status for either one can be achieved. To find answers to these questions, it is necessary to analyse current development, to examine possible future developments of these systems, for example through simulation studies, to build software tools to help assessing conditions and avoid undesirable situations, to develop methods to manage airports efficiently, and to observe the effects of these measures.
