What is Cross-Border Capacity Planning in Air Traffic Management Under Uncertainty about?

In European air traffic management (ATM), it is an important decision how much capacity to provide for each airspace, and it has to be made weeks or even months in advance of the day of operation. Given the uncertainty in demand that may materialize until then along with variability in capacity provision (e.g., due to weather), Airspace Users could face high costs of displacements (i.e., delays and reroutings) if capacity is not provided where and when needed. We propose a new capacity sharing scheme in which some proportion of overall capacities can be flexibly deployed in any of the airspaces of the same alliance (at an increased unit cost). This allows us to hedge against the risk of capacity underprovision. Given this scheme, we seek to determine the optimum budget for capacities provided both locally and in cross-border sharing that results in the lowest expected network costs (i.e., capacity and displacement costs). To determine optimum capacity levels, we need to solve a two-stage newsvendor problem: We first decide on capacities to be provided for each airspace, and after uncertain demand and capacity provision disruptions have materialized, we need to decide on the routing
