Systems and methods for airspace demand prediction with improved sector level demand prediction are provided. In one embodiment, an air traffic demand prediction system () operable to predict demand within an airspace divided into sectors includes an expanded route predictor () operable to generate predicted two-dimensional expanded route information () associated with at least one requested flight (), a trajectory modeler () operable to generate predicted four-dimensional expanded route information (), a sector crossing predictor () operable to generate predicted sector crossing information (), a departure time predictor () operable to generate predicted departure time information (), and a demand modeler () operable to generate a demand model (), the demand model () including predicted time intervals associated with the at least one requested flight indicating when it is expected to be present within one or more sectors of the airspace.
