What is it about?
Remote tower service is a new concept, which fundamentally changes how operators provide air traffic services as it becomes possible to control several airports from a single remote center. In this paper, an optimization framework is presented for traffic management at five Swedish airports that were chosen for remote operation using a remote tower center designed to serve a number of airports.

Why is it important?
The problems experienced with real airport schedules are highlighted, and optimal assignments of the airports to the remote tower modules are presented. Both scheduled traffic and special (nonscheduled) traffic at these five airports are considered.
