A measure of the ability of the ATC system or any of its subsystems or operating positions to provide service to aircraft during normal activities. It is expressed as the number of aircraft entering a specified portion of airspace in a given period of time, taking due account of weather, ATC unit configuration, staff and equipement available, and any other factors that may affect the workload of the controller responsible for the airspace.

Definition
the management of the flow of traffic through merging and crossing points, such as traffic around major aerodromes or airways crossings. It currently includes the management and provision of queues both on ground and in the air. Traffic synchronization, as a function, is closely related to both demand/capacity balancing and separation provision and may in the future be indistinguishable from them. Traffic synchronisation also concerns the aerodrome 'service' part of the concept.
