Abstract

We present two equivalent representations of a 0–1 model for the Air Traffic Flow Management Problem. We show that the LP relaxation of the second representation is tighter than the LP relaxation of the first one. As a direct implication, the Branch-and-Cut effort can be reduced. Computational results are reported on a set of large-scale instances.
