The air transportation system provides infrastructures and procedures to ensure the efficient utilization of given resources, such as airspace or airport capacity. The main principle of corresponding flow management is an appropriate demandcapacity balancing on local and global levels. We provide a concept of operations, which focused on long-range air traffic flow management in the Asia-Pacific region. Coordination of long-range international flights demands collaboration between different flight information regions and local regulations. To demonstrate our approach, we choose Singapore Changi International Airport and use aircraft-transmitted positional data and flight plan information. The data are cleaned, analyzed, filtered, and processed to provide expected arrival flows with a given distance around the airport. A regulation of long-range flights by speed advisories shows a significant relief from times of excessive demands at the airport.
