This chapter focuses on three problems related to the definition and management of airspace sectors. In the first problem, the authors wants to define the sector edges that minimize different criteria such as the workload due to the coordination of flights crossing sector boundaries or the workload related to trajectory monitoring and conflict resolution within the sector boundaries. In the second problem, elementary sectors are defined, and the authors try to optimize functional airspace blocks (FABs) in order to balance the traffic between blocks and limit the flows between the blocks. In the third problem, the authors dynamically optimize the daily management of an airspace block: the problem is to group sectors in order to balance the controllers' workload, to avoid overloads and to respect different operational constraints. The chapter gives examples of resolution using metaheuristics on these three problems.
