An integrated aircraft routing, crew scheduling and flight retiming model

Robust Airline Schedule Planning: Minimizing Propagated Delay in an Integrated Routing and Crewing Framework

F reasons of tractability, the airline scheduling problem has traditionally been sequentially decomposed into various stages (e.g., schedule generation, fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing), with the decisions from one stage imposed upon the decision making process in subsequent stages. Although this approach greatly simplifies the solution process, it unfortunately fails to ca...

A two stage heuristic algorithm for the integrated aircraft and crew schedule recovery problems

Airline disruptions incurred huge cost for airlines and serious inconvenience for travelers. In this paper, we study the integrated aircraft and crew schedule recovery problem. A two stage heuristic algorithm for the integrated recovery problem is proposed. In the first stage, the integrated aircraft recovery and flight-rescheduling model with partial crew consideration is built. This model is ...

A computational study of Benders decomposition for the integrated aircraft routing and crew scheduling problem

The integrated aircraft routing and crew scheduling problem consists in determining a minimum-cost set of aircraft routes and crew pairings such that each 1ight leg is covered by one aircraft and one crew, and side constraints are satis2ed. While some side constraints involve only crews or aircraft, linking constraints impose minimum connection times for crews that depend on aircraft connection...

An integrated scenario-based approach for robust aircraft routing, crew pairing and re-timing

For reasons of tractability, the airline scheduling problem has traditionally been sequentially decomposed into various stages (e.g. schedule generation, fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing), with the decisions from one stage imposed upon the decision-making process in subsequent stages. Whilst this approach greatly simplifies the solution process, it unfortunately fails to cap...
