Within the airline, any disturbance to normal operations has a dramatic impact, and usually imposes high additional costs. Because of irregular events during daily operations. When disruptions occur, flight schedules are affected due to the resulting infeasible flight schedule and improper assignments. Therefore, airlines need to recover disrupted schedule as soon as possible and minimize the e...

Abstract: This study aims to contribute the strategic decisions of airline companies in determining their destinations. Using data 617 airlines, it was tried investigate whether there are rules association between companies' Through analysis made with two different sets, were sought considering both all destinations and foreign companies. In destinations, 197 could be produced 90% above confide...

In this paper, a stochastic programming approach is applied to the airline network revenue management problem. The airline network with the arc capacitated single hub location problem based on complete–star p-hub network is considered. We try to maximize the profit of the transportation company by choosing the best hub locations and network topology, applying revenue management techniques to al...

Purpose: The network strategies used by airline carriers have been a recurring subject in air transport research. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the different operational characteristics of the airline and its route network configuration. Design/methodology/approach: The two main airline carrier typologies Full-Service and Low-Cost carriers – are analysed using...

We proposed a new Small-World network (called n-Star network in which average path-length L becomes absolutely small) inspired by ants’ collective behavior. As one of the real-world applications using this network, it is shown that reorganization of the world airline network is possible in the next generation. In addition, it not only has the characteristic that is more immune from random failu...

Background The 2015 Germanwings Flight 9525 disaster, in which 150 people were killed after the co-pilot may have intentionally crashed the plane in a suicide attempt, highlights the importance of better understanding the mental health of commercial airline pilots. However, there have been few systematic reviews investigating the topic of mental health in commercial aviation. This systematic re...

In addition to the increasing passenger demand, airline frequency competition is another reason for the growing demand for airport resources. By providing more flight frequency, an airline attracts more passengers. As a result, demand for flight operations often exceeds capacity at congested airports, resulting in delays and disruptions. At some congested airports, the limited airport capacity ...

BACKGROUND Short-haul pilots have largely been neglected in studies of fatigue, sleep loss and circadian disruption created by flight operations, but anecdotal evidence from pilots suggests that with the increasing amount of low-cost air travel, commercial pilots working short-haul operations may be becoming seriously fatigued. AIMS This study attempted to ascertain how much subjective fatigu...

In recent years, considerable effort in the field of operations research has been paid to optimizing airline operations, including the logistics of an airline’s fleet of aircraft. We focus on the problem of aircraft routing, which involves generating and selecting a particular route for each aircraft of a sub-fleet that is already assigned to a set of feasible sequences of flight legs. Similar ...

The airline industry in the United States has been one of the hardest-hit (economic victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. In an effort to reduce operating cost to better adapt to the decreasing demand, American Airlines (AA) has introduced de-peaking strategies at two of its major hubs: Chicago O’Hare and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airports. In this paper, American Airlin...
