Evolving efficient airline schedules
… solve the fleet scheduling problem for a large airline. This requires matching each fight in a schedule to a plane in the fleet that will fly the scheduled flight on a particular day. This thesis shows how to use the network flow model of a flight schedule in order to find the smallest fleet …

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 …

Degradable airline scheduling : an approach to improve operational robustness and differentiate service quality
We present a methodology for deriving robust airline schedules that are not vulnerable to disruptions caused by bad weather. In this methodology, the existing schedule is partitioned into independent sub-schedules or layers - prioritized on the basis of revenue - that provide airlines with a clear …

Approaches to incorporating robustness into airline scheduling
The airline scheduling process used by major airlines today aims to develop optimal schedules which maximize revenue. However, these schedules are often far from "optimal" once deployed in the real world because they do not accurately take into account possible weather, air traffic control (ATC), …

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 …

Automatically Extract Information from Web Documents
… information in textual form — product catalogs, airline schedules, stock market quotations, weather forecast etc. There has been much interest in building systems that gather such information on a user's behalf. But because these information resources are formatted differently, mechanically …

Analysing the Network & Schedule Performance of Airlines and Developing a Passenger-Centric Commercial Methodology for Air Services
… and benchmark the perceived quality of the airline schedule. However, these are open to criticism in the sense that they solely use the airline’s schedules as the input for the quality computation rather than the consumer’s perspective. Injecting dynamic consumer preference metrics on top of …

Estimating the true extent of air traffic delays
… to schedule. Over the past decades, however, airline schedules have been adjusted to take into account airspace congestion and yield better on-time performance. In that context, delay measures that are using scheduled times as a benchmark are of very limited use in assessing airport and …

Evaluating Network Analysis and Agent Based Modeling for Investigating the Stability of Commercial Air Carrier Schedules
<p>For a number of years, the United States Federal Government has been formulating the Next Generation Air Transportation System plans for National Airspace System improvement. These improvements attempt to address air transportation holistically, but often address individual improvements in one …

Integrated allocation and utilization of airport capacity to mitigate air traffic congestion
… System, which imposes large costs on the airlines, passengers and society. Absent opportunities for capacity expansion, the mitigation of air traffic congestion requires improvements in (i) the utilization of airport capacity to enhance operating efficiency at the tactical level (i.e., …
