An example method for aircraft traffic spacing and timing control with flight path variation of an aircraft includes receiving information of aircraft traffic for an area, determining an aircraft spacing plan for the aircraft traffic for the area based on spacing requirements due to separation standards or flow management constraints for the aircraft traffic, determining that a modification to a flight path of an aircraft is required to meet a longitudinal spacing requirement between the aircraft and one or more additional aircraft of the aircraft traffic based on the aircraft spacing plan, determining a flight path modification to the flight path for the aircraft based on the modification that causes the aircraft to remain within associated margins of the RNP instrument flight procedure and alters the longitudinal spacing between the aircraft and the additional aircraft of the aircraft traffic, and assigning the flight path modification to the aircraft via a data communication link.
