Many Chinese airports have an unreasonable distribution of flight schedules, where runways or corridors are underutilized, which leads to delays. With the rapid growth of airports in recent years, it has gradually become standard that multiple adjacent airports share the same corridor. This means that it is possible to redistribute the corridor capacity to neighboring airport clusters. This paper proposes a single-airport flight slot optimization model that considers the public corridor of multiple adjacent airports and reduces unnecessary flight delays by allocating the remaining capacity of adjacent airports to the target airport. The model’s objective function minimizes the volume of adjusted flights by meeting capacity constraints to reduce the cost of optimization, while reducing delays. We apply this model to Tianjin Binhai International Airport and its neighboring airports. Simulation experiments show that this method can improve the feasibility of optimization and effectively reduce delays.
