Recently, the aviation industry has experienced a significant surge in air traffic, and Incheon Airport is no exception. The Trombone STAR procedure, introduced in June 2021, needs to be managed efficiently to cope with the increased air traffic. This study aims to analyze the current STAR procedures at Incheon Airport, identify existing issues, and propose improvements to enhance efficiency. The study compares flight trajectories and fuel consumption based on real flight data from Korean Air B747 aircraft. The results suggest that optimized STAR procedures can contribute to better fuel management, reduced flight time, and decreased carbon emissions.
