International Airline Hubbing in a Competitive Environment
Changes in the U.S. domestic airline route system have increased competition between international gateways. To assist in understanding this phenomenon, a system of models that predicts airline passenger flows resulting from different airline gateway hubbing strategies has been developed. The calibrated rnodels predict baseline passenger Mows quite accurately. The system was then used to projec...
متن کاملQuantifying Airline Delay Costs
Airline delay costs are incurred both on the day of operations (tactical cost) and at the planning stage (strategic cost). The latter may take the form of buffer in schedules. Strategic and tactical costs are not independent. Passenger costs of delay to the airline, crew, fuel, maintenance and fleet costs are quantified. Cost trade-offs are presented as a 3D plot assessing the ‘break-even’ poin...
متن کاملFuel hedging and airline operating costs
Fuel hedging is a common risk management tool used in the airline industry. But past studies have not addressed the question of whether fuel hedging creates any benefit to airline operations. This study is the first work that empirically examines the role of fuel hedging in reducing airlines’ operating costs. Using US airlines data from 2000 through 2012, we find that, after accounting for the ...
متن کاملNetwork Effects, Congestion Externalities, and Air Traffic Delays: Or Why All Delays Are Not Evil
We examine two factors that might explain the extent of air traffic delays in the United States: network benefits due to hubbing and congestion externalities. Airline hubs enable passengers to cross-connect to many destinations, thus creating network benefits that increase in the number of markets served from the hub. Delays are the equilibrium outcome of a hub airline equating high marginal be...
متن کاملOr in Airline Industry or in Airline
Next to fuel costs, crew costs are the largest direct operating cost of airlines. Therefore much research has been devoted to the planning and scheduling of crews over the last thirty years. The planning and scheduling of crews is usually considered as two problems: the crew pairing problem and the crew assignment (rostering) problem. These problems are solved sequentially. In this paper we foc...
