Airport congestion pricing has often been advocated as a means of controlling demand for airport operations and for achieving efficient resource allocation. Competition between airlines affects the extent to which an airline would be willing to pay for airport slots. Accurate modeling of competition is critical in order to determine the effectiveness of a congestion pricing mechanism. We develo...

The analysis of the structural organization of the interaction network of a complex system is central to understand its functioning. Here, we focus on the analysis of the bipartivity of graphs. We rst introduce a mathematical approach to quantify bipartivity and show its implementation in general and random graphs. Then, we tackle the analysis of the transportation networks of European airlines...

The solution algorithm, based on Lagrangian relaxation, a sub-gradient method and a heuristic to find the upper bound of the solution, is proposed to solve the coordinated fleet routing and flight scheduling problems. Numerical tests are performed to evaluate the proposed algorithm using real operating data from two Taiwan airlines. The test results indicate that the solution algorithm is a sig...

This paper reviews the significance of e-Governance in Aviation Industry in general and the Indian scenario in particular. Primarily, this discusses about the features of e-Governance and the growth that lay ahead through the electronic media. It also analyses the various stages of development – in Public as well as Private sector – and, at the end, gives a laconic comparative study. The age-ol...

Combining the concepts of balanced scorecard, fuzzy set theory and entropy, a systematic fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) for airlines operating performance evaluation is proposed. A hierarchical structure is constructed through the concept of balance scorecard includes four perspectives: finance, customers, internal business processes, and learning and growth. The triangular fuzz...

The critical problem of airspace congestion over Europe is currently being handled by the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) by allocating departure time slots to aircraft, thus generating costly ground delays. Besides, airlines operators are free to choose the flight path through the routes network, and the requested flight level for each of their flights3. Very few constraints are put on the ...

This paper develops a non-linear programming model to design optimal corporate contracts for airlines stipulating front-end discounts for all nets, which are defined by combination of routes, cabin types, and fare classes. The airline’s profit is modeled using a multinomial logit function that captures the client’s choice behavior in a competitive market. Alternative formulations are employed t...
