This chapter focuses on the main principles of airspace sectorization. First, it presents a continuous two‐dimensional (2D) approach based on Voronoi diagrams, followed by a second, discrete 2D approach using connected graphs. Next, it deals with two three‐dimensional (3D) extensions followed by a number of methods used to synthesize dynamic sectorizations. Continuous modeling approach consists of dividing the underlying geometric space containing the transportation network. Discrete modeling approach consists of synthesizing a set of connected components in a graph which is itself connected. The behavior of genetic algorithms in the context of realistic instances of sectorization problems has been shown to be highly effective. Finally, a 3D extension taking into account the operational constraints of air traffic management allows one to produce sectors with a shape suitable for use in air traffic control.
