Minimum Departure Interval (MDI) and Miles-In-Trail (MIT) are common traffic management tools. They both require minimum separation between departures to meet specific traffic conditions. The MDI restriction is a time separation requirement between departures, usually on the same Standard Instrument Departure (SID), whereas the MIT restriction is a distance separation requirement between aircraft, including but not limited to departure flights, to meet specific criteria associated with flight path or destination. At Incheon International Airport (IATA code: ICN) in South Korea, MDIs are imposed on 92% of departure flights. They involve specific criteria including not only having identical SID, but also satisfying other conditions, imposed on the flight path and destination. To address complicated MDI constraints, Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has been developing and improving a tactical scheduler for surface metering at ICN to provide appropriate target times for pushbacks and takeoffs for departure flights under MDIs. This paper describes the MDI requirements at ICN, the development of a heuristic scheduling algorithm to work with the MDI restrictions, and the performance evaluation of the algorithm through fast-time simulations. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed heuristic algorithm can provide the surface metering schedules that comply with the MDI restrictions without significant performance degradation.
