1. A computer processing system for optimising a sequence of aircraft at an airport, the system comprising:
a first module (201) configured to receive flight plan data associated with a plurality of journeys between an origin and destination wherein each journey is associated with a different aircraft and wherein the flight plan data comprises flight schedule data associated with a plurality of different journeys;
a second module (205) coupled to the first module wherein the second module is configured to determine an aircraft taxi time (EXOT) based on the flight plan data; and
a third module (203) coupled to the first module (201) and the second module (205), wherein
the third module (203) is configured to determine a target take-off time (TTOT) associated with each of the plurality of different journeys,
the TTOT is determined based on the EXOT and the flight plan data, and
the third module (203) is further configured to determine a target start-up approval time (TSAT) based on the TTOT.
