Advanced automation is a key technology for enhancing the safety of ground operations amidst the increasing density of commercial air traffic. While motion forecasting is a well-studied task in autonomous driving, its application to airport surface movements remains underexplored. To enable efficient and accurate prediction in this domain, we propose DESCENT, a transformer-based architecture designed to handle heterogeneous dynamics and strict topological constraints. Our approach features a Potential Reachable Set (PRS) context sampling mechanism that adaptively collects airfield environment context across diverse operational phases. Combined with a detection transformer-based decoder, DESCENT generates accurate trajectory forecasts. Extensive evaluations on the Amelia-10 benchmark demonstrate significant performance improvements over state-of-the-art baselines. These gains are especially pronounced in safety-critical scenarios, where our domain-aware sampling provides critical long-horizon context necessary for safe navigation.
