A system for controlling aircraft movement includes a platform configured to support the aircraft. The system includes a securing mechanism coupled to the platform to releasably couple the aircraft onto the platform. The system includes a conveying system coupled to the platform. The conveying system configured to, with the aircraft coupled to the platform during take-off of the aircraft, move the platform to accelerate the aircraft. The conveying system configured to, during landing of the aircraft, decelerate the aircraft. The system includes a controller coupled to the securing mechanism and to the conveying system. The controller configured to communicate with the securing mechanism and with the conveying system to control acceleration of the platform during take-off of the aircraft and deceleration of the platform during landing of the aircraft.
