A system for managing flight parameters of aircraft is parametrized with overarching flight cost objectives. For a first flight, parameters of a cost function for the first flight are determined relative, respectively, to different cost factors. Flight parameters are optimized so as to minimize the cost function. Avionics of an aircraft carrying out the first flight are programmed with the flight parameters. On detecting an event in flight requiring the flight parameters to be revised, the parameters of the cost function are recalculated, as well as the flight parameters, and the avionics are reprogrammed accordingly. The method is repeated for at least a second flight, taking into account the effective contribution of the first flight to the overarching objectives, and so on. Thus, an airline can carry out overarching multi-objective optimization on its flights.
