A method of air traffic planning includes defining an arrival network of nodes and legs. Each leg represents a segment traversed by an aircraft from an upstream one of the nodes to a downstream one of the nodes, with a plurality of the nodes being designated as scheduling points where one or more constraints are enforceable. The method includes defining for each of a plurality of aircraft, a route set including a plurality of allowed routes each of which includes legs between an arbitrary N scheduling points. And the method includes determining a plan including at least a sequence of the plurality of aircraft and an assigned route for each aircraft, with the assigned route of each aircraft may be one of the allowed routes in the route set of the respective aircraft, with the plan being determined in accordance with the arrival network, and the scheduling points and constraints.
