TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Discrete-event simulation of air traffic movements in the Mexican Metropolitan airspace JO - Transportation research procedia A1 - Ann, Wellens A1 - E., Brambila Karla A1 - Zúñiga, Catya A. SP - 39 EP - 46 VL - 56 IS - N2 - The saturation problem of Mexico City airport is a complex problem, due to several reasons, such as the number of passengers served and operations carried out, as well as the fact that it is located in a megalopolis with severe problems of ground connection in all types of transports. The use of mathematical and simulation models is a convenient option for assessing hypothetical situations, for example, with respect to whether air traffic management is improved when using the recently redefined metropolitan airport system. This study proposes a discrete-event simulation model to assess saturation in the Mexico City Metropolitan airspace, considering the currently installed capacity of the system's airports, as well as the current airspace design above Mexico City's metropolitan area.
