Air traffic flow management

Air traffic flow management (ATFM) is the strategic process of managing aircraft flow to prevent airports and air traffic control sectors from exceeding their capacity. At its core, ATFM balances air traffic demand against the system's limitations to ensure safety and maximize the efficient use of the entire airspace, a process also known as Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM).
