Offer Description
The research activity concerns the formulation of mathematical optimisation models and the development of efficient solution algorithms to assess the effects of regulatory instruments aimed at reducing the climate impact of air transport. In addition to CO₂ emissions, other components of aviation's climate impact will be considered,



such as contrails and nitrogen oxide emissions. These non-CO₂ effects depend significantly on route, altitude, time of day and atmospheric conditions, and can therefore be reduced through an appropriate choice of trajectory. To this end, multi-objective trajectory optimisation models will be developed to balance operating costs against climate impact. Incentive and economic compensation schemes will also be designed, such as revenue redistribution or reduced route charges, so as not to increase overall costs for airlines. Their effects will be evaluated both on individual flights and across the entire European network. The evaluation will take into
