Flight efficiency consisting of flight time and fuel burn for jet airliners arriving at Tokyo International Airport is analyzed in order to provide reference data for the future development of automated arrival management system AMAN. A total performance index that comprehends the flight efficiency of each flight is optimized, and the result is compared with real flights. Surveillance data, numerical weather forecast data, and aircraft performance data are used in the analysis. Minimal time separation constraint at the merge point is imposed on the trajectory optimization to ensure that there is no interference among arrival flights before landing approach. The quantitative difference of the flight efficiency between the optimal and real flights suggests an ideal achievable benefit to be pursued in the future AMAN.
