N2 - We present Computational Geometry based algorithms for airspace sector design that explicitly model the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) operational requirements in terms of sectors' shape and placement of sector boundaries relative to dominant traffic flows, critical points, and Special Use Airspace (SUA). We extend our method to sectorize in 3D using partitions in the altitude dimension. Finally, we describe a local optimization method for post-processing a given sector design to incorporate the ATC operational constraints.
