Delay characterization and prediction in major U.S. airline networks
This thesis expands on models that predict delays within the National Airspace System (NAS) in the United States. We propose a new method to predict the expected behavior of the NAS throughout the course of an entire day after only a few flying hours have elapsed. We do so by using k-means …

Evaluating airline delays : the role of airline networks, schedules, and passenger demands
… thesis, we develop a framework for analyzing airlines' operational performances under different strategic decisions. A detailed study is conducted to compare differences between a major U.S. legacy carrier and a major U.S. low-cost carrier in terms of their scheduling practices, flight-based …

Topological evolution of networks : case studies in the US airlines and language Wikipedias
… methods to analyze real systems, represented as networks. Using existing graph generative models, we develop a profile of canonical graphs and tools to compare a real network to that profile. The developed metrics are used to track topology changes over the history of real networks. This …

Empirical investigations of properties of robust aircraft routing models
The airline schedule planning process is an important component of airline operations, and it involves considerably complex problems. This research focuses on the aircraft routing phase. We introduce the concept of robustness in aircraft routing problems, and find solutions that can stand …

The evolution of network competition in transatlantic aviation and the effects of regulatory liberalization
Since the domestic deregulation of the U.S. airline industry in 1978, impacts to domestic stakeholders, including airlines, airports, labor and consumers, have been well-studied. International air transportation, however, has remained principally regulated by bilateral agreements between …

A Demand Driven Airline and Airport Evolution Study
… lead to a drop in the demand for air travel. Airlines have attempted to return to profitability by cutting service in certain unattractive routes and airports. Simultaneously, delays and excess demand at a few major hubs have lead to airline introducing service at reliever airports. This …
