Clustered airline flight scheduling: Evidence from airline deregulation in Korea

Airline Deregulation and Privatization in the Uk

Integrated airline scheduling

Airline scheduling is composed of fleet assignment, aircraft maintenance routing, and crew scheduling optimization subproblems. It is believed that the full optimization problem is computationally intractable, and hence the constituent subproblems are optimized sequentially so that the output of one is the input of the next. The sequential approach, however, provides an overall suboptimal solut...

Iterative Airline Scheduling

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...

4 Airline Crew Scheduling

Crew scheduling can be defined as the problem of assigning a group of workers (a crew) to a set of tasks. The crews are typically interchangeable , although in some cases different crews possess different characteristics that affect which subsets of tasks they can complete. Crew scheduling problems appear in a number of transportation contexts. Examples include bus and rail transit, truck and r...

"Don't Panic"': A Primer on Airline Deregulation

The old dictum says that if the Devil did not exist, the Church would have had to invent him. Similarly, if the regulator didn't exist, the airline industry would have had to invent him-and did in 1938. A current question is what would happen to the industry were it totally deregulated. One thesis is that there would be a rush by existing and new entrants to those routes thought to be profitabl...
