The European Air Traffic Network (ATN) consists of airports and Area Control Centres (ACCs), and is a highly complex system. Given that the Air Traffic Management (ATM) in Europe is shifting from a local level to a network-wide level through the implementation of a new trajectory-based Concept of Operations (ConOp), a network capacity estimation method is required to indicate and monitor the performance of the ATN. The current indicator of network capacity, Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) del
