Monitoring safety during airline operations : a systems approach
… (FOQA) programs are today customary among major airlines. Technological progress has made it possible to monitor more than 1000 parameters per flight. Given the limited amount of resources an airline can allocate to analyze this amount of data, a need has emerged for more effective approaches to …

Integrated Airline Operations: Schedule Design, Fleet Assignment, Aircraft Routing, and Crew Scheduling
… In a highly competitive environment, airline companies have to control their operating costs by managing their flights, aircraft, and crews effectively. This motivates the extensive use of analytical techniques to solve complex problems related to airline operations planning, which …

Behavioural reactions of managers towards airline operations performance in times of crisis and growth.
… the United States within two different regional airlines and examines the attitudes and behaviours of managers to operations performance measurement and review (PMR) systems during separate periods of crisis and growth. The aim and objectives were to examine whether managers would consciously …

Planning for robust airline operations : Optimizing aircraft routings and flight departure times to achieve minimum passenger disruptions
Airlines typically construct schedule plans based on the assumption that every flight leg departs and arrives as planned. Because this optimistic scenario rarely occurs, these plans are frequently disrupted and airlines often incur significant costs in addition to the originally planned costs. …

Evaluation of Airline Efficiency and Environmental Impacts Using Data Envelopment Analysis
<p>Airline efficiency has been a focus of research since the birth of the airline industry. Data envelopment analysis has become a highly accepted methodology for performing efficiency analysis and assessing relative differences between comparable business entities; over the last decade, airline …

The Changing Nature of Long-Haul Traffic on the North Atlantic: An Examination of Airline Network Strategies
… developments. The overall aim was to examine the airline operational changes that have occurred on the North Atlantic from 1997 (coinciding with the creation of the first global airline alliance) until 2017, and to determine their underlying factors. The study undertook a broad geographic basis …

The Development of a Computerized Airline Strategy Simulation: A Decision Support System to Assist Airline Management Training
… involves the development of a computerized airline strategy simulation, decision support system to assist airline management training. The simulation program is designed to be run under the Microsoft Windows™ environment on any IBM - compatible computer. The primary objective of this thesis …

An approach to predict operational performance of airline schedules using aircraft assignment key performance indicators
… for predicting operational performance of airlines on the basis of flight schedules and aircraft assignments. The methodology uses aggregate measures of properties of aircraft assignments, called Aircraft Assignment Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and aims to find correlations between …

Minimizing airline passenger delay through integrated flight scheduling and aircraft routing
Statistics show that airline flight delays and cancellations have increased continuously over the period from 1995 to 2000. During the same period, customer dissatisfaction and complaints have followed a similar, even more dramatic trend. In 2001, as a consequence of the September 1 th terrorist …

The Effect of Airline Scheduling on Airport Delays
… the arrival of the “Hub and Spoke” system of airline operations. The passage of this act along with the increasing use of smaller commuter planes has caused the airlines to over schedule many of the larger hub airports in the United States causing many delays in the nation’s air traffic …

Routing and scheduling models for robust allocation of slack
A myriad of uncontrollable factors in airline operations make delays and disruptions unavoidable. Most conventional scheduling models, however, ignore the presence of uncertainties in actual operations in order to limit the complexity of the problem. This leads to schedules that are prone to delays …

The future of national flag carriers in developing countries : air Botswana's privatisation struggle
The study looked particularly at the operations of national carriers and governments' efforts to sustain the airlines' operations. Evidence has shown that many countries struggle to maintain operations of their flag carriers, but few countries are willing to completely leave the airlines in the …

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 …

Robust crew pairing : delays analysis and implementation of optimization approaches
… delays and airport congestion that disturb airline operations, the development of robust schedules is becoming crucial. Increased traffic and poor weather are a few of the causes of airport congestion, rising delays and lengthening passenger trips. In this thesis, we identify the latest …

Metrics and methods of improving airline schedule reliability
Airline scheduling is a daunting task. Much time and resources are spent by airlines developing a schedule that meets expectations of profitability and competitiveness. Most of the time, however, the reliability aspect has a minor, if any, role in such a process. In reality disruption of the …

Analysis of airline schedule padding on U.S. domestic routes
Every airline passenger faces the risk of arriving late because flight times are subjected to many sources of variability. These can be weather conditions and airspace congestion, imbalances between airport demand and capacity, fleet and crew availability, technical failures and delays in …

National Culture: Understanding the Impact of Cross-culture on Airline Pilots' Safety Performance in the Middle-East and North Africa (MENA) Region
<p>The continuous expansion of Middle Eastern airlines has created a pilot shortage. Since the local pilot population in the Middle East is relatively small, airlines have been relying on foreign pilots to satisfy their operational requirements. Consequently, pilots with diverse cultural …
