TFM (Traffic Flow Management)

Traffic Flow Management (TFM) is a system used to coordinate and optimize the movement of aircraft within controlled airspace and airports. Its goal is to reduce delays, improve safety, and ensure efficient use of resources by managing factors like aircraft scheduling, routing, and spacing. TFM involves real-time monitoring, strategic planning, and communication among airlines, air traffic controllers, and airports to smooth out congestion and maintain a steady flow of air traffic, much like traffic management on roads but tailored for the complexities of aviation.
