Optimal Airline Seat Inventory Control for Multi-leg Flights
For large commercial airlines, efficiently setting and updating seat allocation targets for each passenger category on each multi-leg flight is an extremely difficult problem. This paper presents static and dynamic models of airline seat inventory control for multi-leg flights with multiple fare classes, which allow one to maximize an expected contribution to profit. The dynamic model uses the ...
متن کاملDynamic Booking Policy for Airline Seat Inventory Control
A dynamic booking policy for multiple fare classes that share the same seating pool on one leg of an airline flight, when seats are booked in a nested fashion and when lower fare classes book before higher ones, is determined. The dynamic policy of airline booking makes repetitive use of an optimal static policy over the booking period, based on the most recent demand and capacity information. ...
متن کاملSeat inventory control for sequential multiple flights with customer choice behavior
This paper considers a seat inventory control problem in which flights depart sequentially and passengers purchase available seats depending on customer choice behavior. Customer choice behavior can lead to either a horizontal shift or a booking loss when a desired fare class is unavailable. This problem is mathematically challenging and intractable via exact mathematical models. As an alternat...
متن کاملDynamic Pricing in Airline Seat Management for Flights with Multiple Flight Legs
Consider a multiple booking class airline-seat inventory control problem that relates to either a single flight leg or to multiple flight legs. During the time before the flight, the airline may face the problems of (1) what are the suitable prices for the opened booking classes, and (2) when to close those opened booking classes. This work deals with these two problems by only using the pricin...
متن کاملPricing substitutable flights in airline revenue management
We develop a Markov decision process formulation of a dynamic pricing problem for multiple substitutable flights between the same origin and destination, taking into account customer choice among the flights. The model is rendered computationally intractable for exact solution by its multidimensional state and action spaces, so we develop and analyze various bounds and heuristics. We first desc...
