چکیده
The boarding process has a very important role in the objective of increase the efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction of an airline industry. It is one of the significant elements of the turnaround time, a slow boarding process might lead to financial issues to the company and, of course, customer complaints. In this paper are analyzed three boarding strategies presenting a model and an easy to use tool that implements it. The study suggest that differences exists among them, and proposes the most efficient strategy.

Comparative Study of Aircraft Boarding Strategies Using Cellular Discrete Event Simulation
Time is crucial in the airlines industry. Among all factors contributing to an aircraft turnaround time; passenger boarding delays is the most challenging one. Airlines do not have control over the behavior of passengers; thus, focusing their effort on reducing passenger boarding time through implementing efficient boarding strategies. In this work, we attempt to use cellular Discrete-Event Sys...
متن کاملFast Aircraft Turnaround Enabled by Reliable Passenger Boarding
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 ...
متن کاملA linear programming approach for aircraft boarding strategy
Airlines are going through very difficult times financially which has been triggered by fierce competition and current high fuel prices. To stay competitive, it is absolutely essential that they achieve high efficiency in the areas that have control over. Airlines start generating revenues while their aircraft are flying. Reducing aircraft turn-around times is an important goal with passenger b...
متن کاملThe Aircraft Boarding Problem
By minimizing boarding time, commercial airlines can improve their on-time performance and increase their aircraft/crew utilization and thereby increase profitability. Herein, we present preliminary results from combining IP and a simulation model that suggest that structured group boarding can result in boarding time reductions.
