Ancillary services in the airline industry : passenger choice and revenue management optimization
… of ancillary services means that airline passengers can face substantially different ancillary service prices and offerings based on their itinerary and fare class selection. At the same time, airlines have become interested in accounting for this supplementary revenue stream in their …

Modeling airline passenger choice : passenger preference for schedule in the passenger origin-destination simulator (PODS)
This thesis examines how to model the choice of individual travelers among various possible travel alternatives in the airline industry. A review of the models used to represent that choice situation in the Passenger Origin-Destination Simulator (PODS) was undertaken for two reasons. First, the …

Low-Fare Flights Across the Atlantic: Impact of Low-Cost, Long-Haul, Trans-Atlantic Flights on Passenger Choice of Carrier
… was to further the understanding of LCLH and FSC passengers in the trans-Atlantic market by determining what demographics and airline service attributes affected their choice of carrier type, and also what impacted their willingness to switch carrier type and the amount they were willing to pay to …

Modeling the choice of an airline itinerary and fare product using booking and seat availability data
… network airlines. A better understanding of passenger choice behavior is now required to support the development of new strategies to compete more effectively in the current marketplace. In order to avoid the risk of bias associated with stated preference data, we focus in this research on …

Performance of multiple cabin optimization methods in airline revenue management
… heuristic. We then evaluate the revenue and passenger mix performance of the different algorithms using the Passenger Origin-Destination Simulator (PODS) which simulates competitive markets with passenger choice of fare options and cabin. We first test the methods in a simple single market …

Market-Based and Policy-Based Conditional Demand Forecaster for Airline Revenue Management
… policy enables the revision of expected passenger sell-up probabilities to higher fares, conditioned on competitive influences and assumed passenger choice behaviors. In simulation tests, we assumed a Bertrand-Edgeworth passenger choice model, corresponding to a fully undifferentiated …

Expansion of point-to-point routes by low-cost carriers in hub networks : traffic and revenue impacts
… network environment. To this purpose, we use the Passenger Origin-Destination Simulator (PODS) to perform all quantitative evaluations. Modeling the choice of travelers with regard to flight schedules and fares, as well as the airlines' revenue management systems, PODS allows one to investigate …

RM methods for airline fare family structures
… all constructed based on the assumed fare family passenger choice model, which accounts for both willingness-to-pay estimates as well as family preference. Each formulation makes underlying assumptions regarding passenger sell-up and buy-across. The Passenger Origin Destination Simulator is used …

Modeling passenger disutilities in airline revenue management simulation
Passenger behavior is the fundamental factor driving air transportation market reactions to the managerial decisions of airlines; therefore, it is important to understand passenger path choice process, and to develop a valid model to represent it. In this thesis, passenger disutilities are used to …

Airline scheduling and air traffic control : incorporating uncertainty and passenger and airline preferences
… network planning model which incorporates passenger choice behavior. We model passenger demand using a multinomial logit choice model and integrate it into a fleet assignment and schedule design model. To tackle the formidable computational challenge associated with solving this model, we …

Impacts of revenue management on estimates of spilled passenger demand
In the airline industry, spill refers to passenger demand turned away from a flight because demand has exceeded capacity. The accurate estimation of spill and the lost revenue it implies is an important parameter in airline fleet assignment models, where improved estimates lead to more profitable …

Commercial Short-Haul Flight or Autonomous Mobility-On-Demand: Modeling Air Passengers’ Modal Choice
… the long-haul market. While U.S. commercial air passenger travel has increased steadily over the past decades, SF has been declining and was doing so before the unprecedented decrease in air travel caused by restrictions related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Once autonomous mobility-on-demand …
