In this article, the authors describe a model of the U.S. air transportation network in which air traffic service provider and airline decision making, the impacts of weather on airport capacity and decision making, the effects of stochastic phenomenon, and the movement of aircraft, crews, and passengers are simulated. The details of the underlying discrete event simulation framework and the constituent modules are presented, along with examples of the results that may be obtained.

Key Words: Air Transportation System Model • Airport and Airspace Simulation • Airline and Air Traffic Control Decision-Making • NAS • Stochastic Simulation Model
