The analysis of the initial structure of Ukraine’s airspace confirmed a need for integration and optimization of this structure through gradual introduction of a free flight concept. On the basis of airspace structure integration techniques the article evaluates air navigation effectiveness in free flight conditions. Based on the received simulation results, the generalized quality indicator values of airspace operational free route quality functional and its dependence on airspace structure optimization were determined.
