An airline schedule very rarely operates as planned. Problems related with aircrafts, crew members and passengers are common and the actions towards the solution of these problems are usually known as operations recovery. The Airline Operations Control Center (AOCC) tries to solve these problems with the minimum cost and satisfying all the required rules. In this paper we present the implementa...

When an aircraft is approaching airport, it gets a short time interval called slot by Air Traffic Control that can use to land. If the landing of delayed for some reason, loses its and Airline Operation Controllers have assign new one. However, slots are scarce resource airports and, in order avoid waits too long, regularly modify assignment aircraft. Due system implemented exchange slots, cont...

In airline scheduling a variety of planning and operational decision problems have to be solved. We consider the problems aircraft routing and crew pairing: Aircraft and crew must be allocated to flights in a schedule in a minimal cost way. Although these problems are not independent, they are usually formulated as independent mathematical optimisation models and solved sequentially. This appro...

Future 4D aircraft trajectories demand comprehensive consideration of environmental, economic, and operational constraints, as well as reliable prediction of all aircraft-related processes. Mutual interdependencies between airports result in system-wide, far-reaching effects in the air traffic network (reactionary delays). To comply with airline/airport challenges over the day of operations, a ...

This paper will describe the Diversion OffGate Management Assistant (DOGMA) system, a decision-support tool that uses airline-articulated policies to critique dispatcher initiated diversion decisions to ensure that these plans will not only maintain safe operating practices, but will also go further toward providing decision makers with the broad and diverse set of concerns from various stakeho...

There are quite a few solutions for crew scheduling, including some commercial applications. The same happens for aircraft scheduling and for flight scheduling including revenue management. However, the airline operations problem did not receive the same attention as the other airline scheduling problems. In this paper we introduce this problem and report the work we are doing in the developmen...

This study analyzes the role of logistical variables, competition characteristics and weather conditions in a decision model for flight operations by airlines. We demonstrate that a nested logit model is appropriate on both theoretical and empirical grounds. The sample consists of all flights on Fridays in January 2003. We find that there are positive and significant correlation between daily f...

Airline disruption management is an active field of research. In recent years, there has been increase in publications, particular, works integrating two or more resources (i.e., aircraft, crew, passengers) the recovery analysis. Given that than 50% papers have published after last literature review paper (Clausen et al., 2010), this provides a critical and classification between 2009 2018 rega...
