Unit load devices (ULDs) are used to load air cargo and passengers’ checked baggage for wide-bodied aircraft operations. Since ULDs are reusable at the destination, airlines can invest in an appropriate fleet size for their requirements. The estimation of safety stock levels for every operating airport is a premeditated task because airlines must prepare enough devices for the outbound consignm...

This paper attempts to relate certain areas of similarity between Space Shuttle operation and Airline operation. The design controlled factors affecting airline maintenance cost are discussed. The thesis is that the Space Shuttle designer should consider airline experience in areas affecting maintenance cost in order to design the most cost effective Space Shuttle System.

Airline operations are subject to frequent disruptions typically due to unexpected aircraft maintenance requirements and undesirable weather conditions. Recovery from a disruption often involves propagating delays in downstream flights and increasing cruise stage speed when possible in an effort to contain the delays. However, there is a critical trade-off between fuel consumption (and its adve...

Predictive maintenance has received considerable attention in the aviation industry where costs, system availability and reliability are major concerns. In spite of recent advances, effective health monitoring prognostics for scheduling condition-based operations is still very challenging. The increasing operational data along with progress made machine learning boosted development data-driven ...

The airline industry encompasses a wide range of businesses, called airlines, which offer air transport services for paying customers or business partners. Airline can be classed as just one sector the wider aviation industry. There are number that may done on plane when it is parked at an airport terminal gate, and they known "aircraft ground handling. passengers using airports contin...

To schedule aircraft, assignments of fleet types to flights and aircraft routes must be determined. The former is known as the assignment problem while latter routing in literature. Aircraft usually addressed a feasibility whose solution needed for constructing crew schedules. These problems are solved from 4 6 months before day operations. Therefore, there limited information regarding each ai...

The carrier-within-a-carrier (CWC)dor “airline-within-an-airline” (AWA)dapproach has become an integral part of many airlines' marketing strategies in the AsiaePacific region where several full-service national airlines operate low-cost/low-fare subsidiary airlines. The CWC approach is a response to competition from low-cost carriers based on product differentiation, i.e., a ‘two brands’ busine...

Although, on average, only 2.1% of airline flights are cancelled each year, some of these cancellations occur in batches due to events that impact network operations such as snow storms, equipment outages, and labor issues. Batch cancellations impact a large number of passengers at the same time in the same location and have a negative effect on airline revenue (due to refund obligations), corp...
