Most research about the approaching aircraft sequencing is for single runway approach or standard parallel runways approach. Little of research is for the case of staggered parallel runways approach. In this paper, a mathematical model of aircraft approach sequencing is established for the case of staggered parallel runways approach, and also this model is optimized with improved genetic algorithm. This model is simulated with the improved genetic algorithm both for cases of non-staggered runway approach and staggered runway approach, and the result shows that, comparing with the situation of non-staggered runway, the delay time in the case of staggered parallel runways approach decreases by 1.6 minutes, and the fitness increases by 0.0394. It proves that, in a certain extent, staggered parallel runways can reduce the minimum interval between arrival flights, thus increase the capacity of parallel runways.
