Abstract This is the third and final part of a study of the analysis and control of the flow of air traffic. Part I developed a traffic flow model to compute the means and variances of delays experienced by individual aircraft. Part II was concerned with the arrival and departure processes, and with the question of model validation. In this part, we consider an approach to the problem of designing a (real‐time) flow control system. Central to the approach is the problem of minimizing a measure of system delay subject to constraints on the allowable departure and arrival times.
