A model of inbound air traffic: The application to Heathrow airport

The authors present a model to describe the inbound air traffic over a congested hub and the authors show that this model gives a very accurate description of the traffic by comparing our theoretical distribution of the queue with the actual distribution observed at Heathrow airport. The authors also discuss the robustness of their model.
