There is provided a flight trajectory system that estimates contaminant exposure experienced by a flight for scheduling of flight maintenance interventions, comprising: at least one input interface that receives at least one trajectory of a flight comprising flight track points; a storage medium containing executable instructions for executing a flight trajectory algorithm and a database of flight trajectory data; and a computing arrangement coupled to the at least one input interface and the storage medium, wherein the computing arrangement receives the at least one trajectory of the flight and interrogates the database of flight trajectory data to: validate the flight track points, wherein the flight track points are validated based on at least one performance of the flight, generate a fixed trajectory for the flight based on the validated flight track points and the flight trajectory algorithm, and analyze, using a flight trajectory model, the fixed trajectory of the flight to estimate contaminants exposure of the flight on the fixed trajectory for scheduling flight maintenance interventions, and wherein the contaminants comprise at least one of: dust, ice, atmospheric aerosol particles or corrosive gases.
