This project aimed to resechdule the flight plan by minimizing the delay of air traffic flow, focusing in the stage of flight arrival. Three modelling for aircraft sequencing and rescheduling for landing was developed and compared. The methods used are First Come First Serve (FCFS), First Come First Serve combined Time-Advance (FCFS+TA), and Perturbation using White Noise Gaussian with Random Variable (Perturbation). Kuala Lumpur International Airport was chosen as the project location. An analysis was developed to observe the implementation of three methods on typical day of operations in year of 2015. The FCFS+TA method revealed the optimization approach for utilizing the runway in KLIA in order to achieve 576 flights per day. Therefore, with using FCFS+TA method, 63% of utilization of both arrival runway in KLIA have been optimized.
