Abstract The objective of the research described in this paper was to produce a model for the analysis of terminal airspace capacity and the sensitivity of this capacity to the parameters which influence it. The model developed is based on the concept of an expected ultimate capacity and applies to arriving traffic under saturation conditions i.e. a constant demand for service. It is possible to use the model for planning and operational purposes: for the computation of terminal airspace capacity, the separation of aircraft at the terminal entry gates so as to provide maximum capacity, and for heuristic optimization of arriving aircraft trajectories through the terminal airspace. For a sensitivity analysis the model allows for changes in terminal airspace geometry, runway(s) in use, arriving aircraft trajectories, arriving traffic distribution between the terminal airspace entry gates, aircraft type mix, aircraft velocities and air traffic control separation rules.
