Airline Operations and Scheduling
Ashgate Publishing, Oct 2004, Pages: 220
Operations research techniques are extremely important tools for planning airline operations. However much of the technical literature on airline optimization models is highly specialized and accessible only to a limited audience. Allied to this there is a growing concern among the operations research community that the materials offered in OR courses at MBA or senior undergraduate business level are too abstract, outdated, and at times irrelevant to todays fast and dynamic airline industry.
This book demystifies the operations and scheduling environment, presenting simplified and easy to understand models, applied to straightforward and practical examples. After introducing the key issues confronting operations and scheduling within airlines, it goes on to provide an objective review of the various optimization models adopted in practice. Each model provides airlines with efficient solutions to a range of scenarios, and is accompanied by case studies similar to those experienced by commercial airlines. Using unique source material, and combining interviews with alumni working at operations and scheduling departments of various airlines, this solution orientated approach has been used on courses with outstanding feedback.
The book is structured to maximize its course teaching potential. Used on MBA courses with students grouped into small teams, it requires students to assume the role of operation managers, responsible for creating their own airlines, selecting routes and flight networks, considering fleet diversity, aircraft routings and maintenance locations, and examining hub and spoke systems, air/ground crew scheduling, and gate assignments.
The readership includes graduate and undergraduate business, management, transportation, and engineering students; airlines training and acquainting new recruits with operations planning and scheduling processes; general aviation, flight school, International Air Transport Association (IATA), and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) training course instructors; executive jet, chartered flight, air-cargo and package delivery companies, and airline consultants.
